There is no doubt that the E46 is still an awesome car, they have well and truly stood the test of time. The E46 M3 with its wide arches and M3 mirrors looks incredibly aggressive, some may argue more so than the later E92? It has to be said however that the sound system and Navigation system are pretty lacking by today's standards, so we have developed a few modifications to overcome this.
The new Mini Countryman is a cool ride, with no less than 10 models in the line up from the 64mpg Mini One to the awesome 4WD John Cooper S, there is no wonder it's becoming a very popular choice. Given its popularity we have designed some well proven audio upgrades for those of you who demand a little more from their listening experience.
The Honda S2000 has bags of potential for upgrading the audio system. The first thing to do is upgrade the head unit to something with Bluetooth and iPod connectivity or even integrated DAB radio. The excellent CDE-196 DAB is the perfect head unit costing just 369 inc VAT fully fitted. This includes the glass DAB antenna, steering controls and a full 2 year warranty.
The standard audio system in the Jaguar XK consists of a set of 6.5" components in the front doors and a set of rear 6" coaxes in the rear quarter panels. They are all driven from the radio/Sat-Nav unit. The sound is pretty poor with little or no bass and no top end detail.
When we began to dismantle the vehicle it became apparent that there is little or no sound proofing in the doors or rear quarters which goes some way to explaining the problem, combine this with nasty speakers and no power and it all becomes clear.This upgrade was going to be tough as the customer had set the fantastic Jaguar Bowers and Wilkins system fitted as a factory option as our benchmark.

This has to be one of the most beautiful looking cars on the road today. The Hi-Fi system is not bad in principle but can be improved massively. It uses front 6.5" components with a 10" subwoofer in the rear shelf (which doesn't do much except rattle!). It's driven by a multi-channel amp mounted in the boot compartment.

Just had some upgrades done to my Defender. It wasn't the first time the car had been with Audiofile-Incar - the previous owner had already had some major work done to it. I further upgraded the stereo, internal and external lights and added heated wing mirrors and rear USB charging points. Brilliant service. So happy with the work. If I want any more work done to it in the future, I know Gary and his team will do a great job.

Went in for a three layers sound-proofing of my front doors. Super happy with the result, really improved the sound quality of the existing system but also the comfort in the car, it’s more quiet now. It is one of their entry-level jobs but they spent the time and energy to make it perfect. I know they offer a wide range of other services and with always the same passion and attention to detail. Strongly recommend!

I have known about Audiofile for many years, having lived in very close proximity to their workshop and had always heard great things. I recently purchased a new car and wanted to enhance what is an already adequate sound system, so I took the plunge and paid them a visit. They said to me that they could update the system, sound proof the doors, without invalidating my car warranty (very important) and they keenly gave me that in writing. With my car manufacture happy I agreed and they booked me in. They are super busy at the time of writing, they booked me in and actually had another slot sooner

Gary and David did an amazing job installing carplay to my Maserati GranCabrio. They fitted an overlay touchscreen that is better quality than the factory screen and integrated it seamlessly. The quality of their work is second to none (I have used companies in London for other work on previous cars and it is a different level, Audiofile do everything with care and precision).
The service was outstanding with good communication throughout. The service they provide is worth every penny and anything I need doing in future they will definitely be my first stop.

Like many I was completely dissatisfied with HK sound on my BMW.
And like many I looked around the country for audio car specialist but I find the reviews for Audiofile-Incar so compelling.
Fortunately for me Audiofile-Incar is on my doorstep but I was willing to travel to get the best and I must say Audiofile-Incar in terms of quality of the work , open mindness and willing to accommodate my requirements were outstanding.
After a discussion with Gary he came up with a solution that met my needs and wallet !
From dropping off the car to picking the car( including a courtesy car) was excellent

Gary and the team have just installed a high end system in my Aston Martin Vantage (he’s posted a video on YouTube). I cannot praise them enough - top work from people who really care about what they’re doing. The sound quality on my new system is simply on another scale from any other in-car hifi that I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend Audiofile highly enough!
Thanks again to everyone involved.

I highly recommend Audio file. They did amazing job in creating a custom project for my Mercedes C class 350e W205. They changed all my door speakers, installed twitters, sound proof insulation in all my doors… and two sub speakers. They completed the project with Audison Forza AP F 8.9 bit 1200w amplifier. All this without taking any extra space from the boot of my car. They take car audio systems to a next level. Absolutely amazing.

My 2010 Jaguar XK Portfolio just had a stereo upgrade with Audiofile-Incar, replacing the OEM Bowers and Wilkins system. They integrated the Jag head unit with a Helix Optical Interface linked to a Herz DSP and a JL Audio 500 Watt 3-channel amplifier with Audison Voce 6" Front Speakers and a JL Audio 8" Subwoofer in the boot giving a true digital end to end performance. This still allows full steering wheel control with the head unit and and my existing Bovee BlueTooth Streamer via the iPod connector. You cannot tell the integration has taken place, with all the components hidden away. The sound

I had a system 3 plus fitted to my BMW F31 335d 18 months ago and it sounds fantastic. Unfortunately it failed recently, I contacted In Cat Audio and Gary said to bring the car in and they will fix it. I took it in they inspected it and said the Amplifier had failed and blown the drivers door speakers. They said this is a rare occurrence and… replaced all the faulty components under their 3 year guarantee in about 1 hour, It is very refreshing to find a Company that are very friendly and quickly honour their Guarantee without any argument or quibbling. I highly recommend thia Company, their

Just had new front speakers (Prima) fitted in my Skoda Octavia. I found David in particular very helpful. Having had them for over a week now, I can say that the sound quality is so much better and I am enjoying listening to music again in my car! I have found that using a music app on my phone (CapTune) via bluetooth gives a much better sound on… mp3's than using an SD card and the cars system, which surprised me. Radio is also good, some stations better than others. All offer a vast improvement on the tinny tripe I was getting from the factory fitted speakers...
