Hey

Been there done that. Copied all my music at the highest sampling rate Itunes can offer. Still sounds

if you have the Mfd 2 sat nav fitted, it has the 2 extra speakers fitted, and i agree , i think it sounds good, never any distortion.They must be talking about the basic radio with 8 speakers 

Its the RCD500 with sound upgrade that were talking about Phil. It comes with 10 speakers, but has already been mentioned, the door cards cannot handle the extra power and vibrate terribly causing distortion to the base. Listen to any track with a lot of base and you'll see what I mean.

Well there is RCD500, and there is RCD500 with Sound System, which means higher output speakers and an amplifier under back seat. What I've read so far in different forums is that sound system causes door cards to vibrate, and that it does not produce significantly better sound than normal RCD500. For me these two factors were enough to cancel sound system and just go with RCD500.

RCD500 includes 10 speakers.

The amp is under the front passenger seat and its about the only way, apart from listening, to tell whether you have the sound pack or not.

Hully,

Did you ask your dealer about Dynamat in the door cards?

Hully,

Yes, but he hadn't heard of it and I've got to take it back in so the "engineers" can have a listen to it.  I'll mention it to them as well.  Don't worry I'll keep trying.

Just finished my first 1000 miles in mine and its still great...

Since I got it, I had the family holiday in Florida, and had to drive some american 'mr softy suspension' mobile, and it was a true joy to come back and drive the Ed30.

Had it out for its first decent distance run... Comfortable, classy and effortless.... 

Roll on the next n x 1000's of miles...
