I am planning on changing the stereo as soon as I find a FL2. I will be putting in the double din Kenwood headunit I currently have with ipod connection and built in bluetooth.
The sub you have posted looks good and I've heard good things about it. To wire in to the factory stereo you will need a line out convertor which could possibly require you losing the feed to your back speakers.
Let me know if you need any other info.

I had heard that changing the stereo to an aftermarket unit would be at the expense of the Reverse sensor warning bleeps?

luckily i haven't got reverse sensors lol . gutted about possibly loosing the rear speakers as soon as i have the money i will get my good friend at quicksilver to fit the sub for me he can wire anything to anything lol just feel tht the freelander needs a bit of bass . also i was thinking about changing the speakers does anybody know the sizes of the speakers i might try and replace everything with pioneer as i love there audio equipment .

to be honest if you change the speakers without changing the headunit you will be gaining very little. The upgraded speakers are built to be driven by higher powers and using the standard headunit may make them sound awful. To be honest I would change the headunit first as this usually breathes a little life into standard speakers.

If you want to keep the standard headunit the other option is to use something like the JBL cleansweep and an amp but that can get expensive.[/url]

fair enough i may look into changing the head unit also just want to see some pictures first before i mess about with it lol

The Stereo setup in my 2007 XS is probably one of the best i have heard. Gone S383 ABA Freelander 2.0 XEDI Rioja Red
Gone NT02 CUA Freelander 2.0 TD4 ES Blue
Gone ND06 URU Freelander 2.0 TD4 Rimini Red
Gone NA56 VJN Freeelander 2.0 TD4 Black
HERE OE07 JRX Freelander 2.2 TD4 XS Rimini

Smart little thing though. Back in the day we use to fill our boots with subs and amps then store all our belongings in the passenger footwells.  2008 Td4 Freelander2 GS - santorini black.

What setup do you have in yours BONE

XS should have the alpine system which I reckon is quite good but not as good as the bose systems is the audi.
Sambuca let me know how you get on and what you decide to do.

On reading this topic I wonder if it is possible on the HSE to replace the double-din facia for an aftermarket system? Nothing wrong IMO with the factory Alpine unit but I would like a full screen unit that could accomodate DVD etc but would want to remain with Alpine. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

people have used kenwood the trouble is parking sensors integration and possible trouble connecting to steering wheels controls

I've installed a kenwood and a pioneer subwoofer and have my parking sensors still working. There is an adapter available by kenwood. don't know if other brands also have them yet.

I can do just about everything but mostly use usb to play music clips from which I downloaded from youtube and converted to divx.

Very happy with it.
See my gallery for pictures.

PS the subwoofer you suggest I have installed. Needs to be boxed in which will be a summer job.
