I just found the same stereo above I talked about for ten quid less!

I'm actually going to save money once i have taken the Alpine back to Halfrauds for the refund 2016 D4 HSE

I just fitted the next model up as I like the bluetooth, fits no problem and sound quality is good, you may find the mounts a little tight but goes in with some jiggling. Put the ariel adapter somewhere safe for when you re-fit the land rover stereo if you decide to change cars.

Is the sound quality better even with exiating LR speakers and do you need some sort of wiring harness adaptor or does it plug straight into the existing defender wiring? 90 XS

Adapter came with it, ( I have a spare as well if anyone wants it) sound quality slightly better but you could upgrade speakers for little money. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

Luckily all my speakers are upgraded Alpine Units plus a powered subwoofer.

I think the BT option is a bit wasted on my Defender, I don;t use it often enough to warrant that and won't be doing any calls from it while driving! 2016 D4 HSE

In that case you obviously won't really need the BT then. Thumbs Up I wouldn't us it much if I did either but sometimes you do find you need it and then start to think I wish I had it.


Here's the BT-300 anyway:

Got a refund on the Alpine unit, and found the Kenwood unit for 20 less on eBay!

Brilliant, saved 20 in the end. Very Happy 2016 D4 HSE
