Hi People,
I'm looking to replace the factory radio HU on my 2000 S-type and am looking for a recommended audio installer in London - it's not an obvious job because apparently the current HU is just about, but not quite Double Din Size and I want someone to do a nice clean job.

Location-wise I'd appreciate something fairly central or north west London - ideally located near a high st of sorts - don't want to spend 4 hours in an industrial estate... (while the car is being worked) - I hope I didn't offend anyone, that was not my intention.

Thanks!

Auto Audio is the one to go to. It is on an industrial estate though, but getting the job done properly is far more important than spending time on a high street!
Greg always seems to have at least one immaculate V12 saloon (of varying vintages) in the workshop each time I go in.

Thanks!

I already did the installation in Tooting: www.CarAudioCentre.co.uk - they did a fine job, installations looks really good. They didn't manage to get the steering controls to work, but that's was a known risk - they didn't charge me for the harness.

I'm now contemplating going back and upgrading the basic Jag (ford) speakers to something better.

Not really in North West London, but Impulse in Watford do great work and are well located with real craftsmanship and knowledge in abundance.

The work these guys do is on a different level...completely bespoke. I went there to ask about getting headrest screens put in my X5.....ended up with a tour of their workshop which had some serious cars in there. They can pretty much do anything you want not just audio work.

Hi All,
I did go to Auto Audio in the end, I installed the Head Unit elsewhere but then went to upgrade the Speakers to Morel's - sound immaculate!

Excellent service and top quality - I'd come back.

Thanks for the tip off!
