Was wondering if it's possible to replace a later model Portfolio that has the B&W sound system with a later model to be able to use camera's, Iphones and hope the stereo also sounds better.

Take pity on the poor chap, he's only posted 3 times on the forum....now he thinks the mods speak a different language...he's reaching for google translate now!

 

Cambo, do you mean that jahummer has discussed this? Or like Marky says....take pity and explain

 

jahummer has done all this, and he's in Florida, so I tagged him that he'll get a notification about this thread. Sorry I'm flat out at the moment or I'd explain it all myself

 

Thanks. I've searched plenty on Portfolio or B&W stereo or speaker upgrades and I have never seen it. By looking at Jahummer and your threads I have found about the backup camera but i'm still looking to see if my 2008 can swap out the headunit. I will continue to look. This all started because both of my B&W tweeters are not working.

 

See these two threads. Should answer your questions

It would help if you described your issue or goal in detail.

 

Yes it can be done. Where are you located?

 

If your tweeters aren't working, but the bass speakers in the doors are working, then your tweeters are blown, or unplugged, they are on the same channel as the bass speakers so it can't be a fault with the amp or head unit.

Replace the B&W tweeters with the Alpine ones from the earlier cars, you'll be much happier.

If you update the touchscreen software and gateway software to the 2009MY versions, then it's possible to add a "factory" reverse camera, also the iPod/USB interface, which can give you bluetooth audio streaming as well with an additional dongle.

 

Tweeters have been replaced with crossover and the sound is much better.

 

JaHummer I'm in the Delray Beach area of Palm beach county, south east Florida

 

Did I read your email right? I can upgrade the touchscreen s/w from my '07 XKR to get bluetooth audio? I assume through a dealer??

 

Unfortunately no to both. Bluetooth audio was never available for the X150. Members here have used various Bluetooth adapters to plug into the car.

 

Or you can buy a small, portable, (battery operated) Bluetooth speaker that fits on the floor behind the seat to link with your smartphone's Bluetooth audio. It's not integrated with anything, but it's an inexpensive solution that works for me.
