Meridian vs Meridian Surround in Facelift Cars

[Lady Eleanore]

It's a long way to go for it sadly, I'm oop Norff. if I find myself darn Sarff however...

I wonder if they can somehow apply remotely if you have a WiFI or Bluetooth OBDII adapter and laptop.

I think they're prepared to travel if they have enough customers in a particular area. Worth asking, anyway.

I have one of the requisite codes in my VIN number to "upgrade" to surround sound. So I'm interested in whether it's worth it, especially for £300

Perhaps we should call you Lindisfarne lol. I have the surround sound version and I'm a big Meridian Hifi user so I would thoroughly encourage the upgrade Alison.

Please forgive me for getting your name wrong Amanda.

If you do end up with standard Meridian the video below is a great way to upgrade with premium speakers and sound proofing. I am planing to do mine next week although getting hold of the woofers second hand is tricky. I have ordered those new from Jag.

How much are the Subs from Jaguar? is it the Surround sub?

£138.50 each new from JLR so not exactly cheap but can't find any second hand. Not sure if it is the same as the surround sub - these speakers are LR047119 and are the bass speakers in the doors.

Having waited a long time hoping for some to come up on ebay, I eventually got mine from Britcar, currently £115.43 ea. https://britcar.com/search.php?query=LR047119&xBrand=&part_type=&xSupplierID=&product-sort=&xPerPage=10

No problem, I quite like the name. It's usually assumed I'm a 'bloke' on a car forum when I talk about oily bits anyway (I'm also on Briskoda and M3cutters)

Continuing on this subject, my P450 allegedly has the base Meridian system. It sounds really good. When I select USB as source the screen shows 3 logo graphics with the first being dts Digital Surround 5.1, the second is POWERED BY gracenote, and the third is the Dolby symbol with DOLBY AUDIO.

I don't have the possibilities to select different sound types. So what it going on here? Is it already tweaked for surround sound? I bought the car as an ex JLR car. It's not yet 2 years old.
