I've gotten quotes , I've gotten trade in price indications and I've spoken to the dealer who said......."Not up to me its in the hands of Head Office!" So in other words, No!!!!!! but not in those exact words!Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyd Member 11 Member For: 21y 11d Location: Albany, W.A Posted 25/02/04 07:21 AM Share Posted 25/02/04 07:21 AM Hey Folks,My XR6 Turbo Ute was built with standard audio as I didn't consider premium sound value for money in a Ute as the package doesn't include subwoofers due to space limitations. However, since purchasing my ute I have discovering the Blaupunkt interface that installs a DVD and Navigation System. Unfortunatley though the Blaupunkt system requires premium sound. Do you think it could be possible to only upgrade to premium deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their suggestion was to re route a ground tot eh ICC etc...I dunno - I'm inclined to try it... but really this is something I would have thought Ford would have worked out sooner A.

You must use the body computer of the original system to keep all the security thingies and then reprogram the code of the new sound system.So, If I had the standard audio, I would be looking around at the wreckers for a premium system without the premiun price.As far as connecting it to a Ute...I think it would work! Some of the sound setting may have no effect but you could live with it.All the heater functions also worked!Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big problem until you accidently bump the steering wheel stereo controls while turning and the system goes to CD (or worse) radio and nearly blows your eardrums and speakers at the same time. Is there a way of having similar volume output from aux and the main system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
