07 Legacy JDM Question - Converting from Kenwood GX204JE to Mcintosh possible?


shure2

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I want to keep the interior as stock looking as possible, and want to get official NZ bands (I have a band expander but the audio quality is poor).

 

I can get a Mcintosh unit from AU with dual temperature control like mine, which also comes standard for the AU/NZ bands.

 

My question is, do I need to get the amp and anything extra to get it to work? Also will I get better audio without changing the speakers?

 

Thanks in advance

As far as I'm aware, you'll require the entire McIntosh system for it to work...

yeah got the GX204JE as well, FM is often crappy with the band expander,  i put in GROM-BT3 bluetooth adapter thingy that plugs into the CD changer socket at the back of HU. BT connects reliably and plays saved music or internet radio over bluetooth . can answer incoming calls with the steering wheel radio controls. just for fun recently ordered some second hand mini discs from ebay for this ole HU haha

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
