Hello... New to the forum, just bought an XJR-S

The stereo in my 1989 XJ-S had a standard DIN sized slot so it was easy to find a unit to replace it. I paid a local car audio place to fit it, they used an adaptor and the fitting (parts and labour) was £25.

I bought a cheap head unit because I have water leaks near the dashboard. For £100 I got a Sony DSX-S100, it's perfectly adequate.

As for GPS, I have a Nokia smartphone so I just use that.

Hi Chris

Nice looking car from the avatar photo. It's great to finally buy the car you've dreamed of. Trouble for me is that I've dreamt of so many cars........

What sort of history, mileage, year has your car ? I guess you plan to use it as a fair weather car. Will you be making the repairs and services on it yourself ?

Hi will have a good chat when you setel down with your toy
good luck and enjoy

Hi Everyone,

I juist wanted to say hi! I received my pack in the post this morning and was hoping to pick my XJR-S up today, but Arun Jaguar are closed :-( Its been there for a couple of weeks since I bought it having some minor items completed and getting it ready for shining in my garage!!! Can't wait to get my hands on it. Have wanted a Jaguar XJS since I was 12, and I finally bought myself one for my 40th birthday last month.

I am going out this afternoon to look for a sat nav and a new stereo head unit for it, I imagine that will not be easy!!!

I just wanted to post to say hi, and if anyone has any experience of the above I would love to hear from you, I will be searching through the archives to see whats already there!

All the best


Chris
