Hi Everyone,

When I purchased my '96 XJS several years ago, the factory stereo had been replaced with an upgraded model. I'm more of fan of factory options. Does anyone know where I'd be able to find a factory stereo for this model?

Thanks!

 

Original factory? No, but I'd start with the usuals: Welsh, etc.

BUT

Check out Nakamichi and Blaupunkt. They make nice understated units which match the classic interior - no video game displays. All the modern convenience without crappy 20 year old head unit limitations.

 

They still turn up on ebay etc. Make sure you get the correct one particularly if you buy the unit and the face-off plate separately. US face-off plates don't work on UK units and vice versa. The correct US whole unit part number is LHE4100BA. If you buy a second-hand one, check all the light diodes on the face-off plate. They are notorious for packing up.

Good luck

Paul

 

I have a fully functional factory stereo from a 95 v12 that I would be prepared to sell for a reasonable amount. Contact me with a direct message if you are interested.
