Hi all,

I have a bespoke Jaguar XJC that is at the end of its build.
ICE is something we do not have any idea of, but I know what I want.

I'm after a android mirror that will run and amp behind the old stereo face, then all plumb into high end speakers.

There are so many options available on amazon and for so little monies I know if I ordered a android mirror it would be poor quality.

I want to find a high end one stop shop that I can tell them what I want, drop my car off and pick it up complete with good products used.

Cheers

Rich

Jaguar and land rover do a head unit, via classic spares. It looks period, when turned off, but has a small touch screen, Nav and Dab, but its costs over a grand... its made by Kraemer automotive but I've not found an alternative supply route.... I also have just sent my late 1980's Alpine to have it modified for DAB, iPhone blue tooth, etc but have subsequently been told that I have no chance of having it modified... so I'm on the search for a period looking (not Blaupunkt) new head unit. Apparently though it is possible to modify the old push button systems that aren't digital...

Maybe Car Electronics in Leicester can help.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have quit a bit to do with JLR Classics and know the system you talk about. Not really what I'm after. Much prefer the smart rear view mirror for being discreet but 10 inch screen with android/apple play

Does he still have tricked out Nova in the showroom? If its the same place, he's been in the business since for a good while, definitely knows his stuff.

They have moved within the last couple of years, never went to the old unit, but sadly no Nova in the showroom when I went.
