Have you heard the B&W system in the Jags currently - my boss has a new XF and the ICE is pretty awesome.

Then again, what do I know? When I think back, I remember posting on here before that BMW Individual Audio isn't worth the extra over Logic 7. What a load of crock - I must have had a glass of sherry or something.

I think BMW's Individual Audio absolutely rocks and is well worth the £1500 they charge for it! It's about 'as good' as Jag's B&W!

Would rather go down the JL / Focal route.

You don't need 20 speakers to produce great car audio.

Seconded but you'd do very well to get a top end install in the car for £1500 all in.

The labour charge alone is likely to top £1000.

I've 3 amps in mine, at £300 each or more, 2 sets of XR650 components at 250 a pop, a £600 subwoofer, £600 head unit. The list goes on ad infinitum. I shudder when I think of what it costs.

So news like this does excite me. If a stock system was "good enough" to stop me doing a ridiculous install (I really do care too much about sound reproduction) then I'd be all for it.

Actually that's a good point. I'm spending cheese on upgrading the laughable bose system in the gtr, which i'd stupidly assumed was worth paying up for.
