Upgrades to HiFi audio system
Other than a total replacement has anyone done upgrades to the stock HiFi system that actually made a difference? I got a good deal on a demo model but it didn't have the HK audio system in it. I'm regretting That a little now. Thanks.

I sent an email to Bavsound about when they will have offerings for the G20, they said in about 1-2 months. Figure i'll wait til they have something, and then re-evaluate.

The HiFi system cannot be replaced -the amp is integrated into the tuner. The HK system has a completely different wiring harness and a separate OEM amp just for the woofers from the HiFi.

That being said, I think many have dome the Bavsound upgrades for just the speakers and ghost subwoofers (which I think the HiFi system has..I think). Maybe it will be worthwhile to upgrade just the speakers/subwoofers. Although I was hoping to upgrade the amp as well but that seems impossible now :/
All this, even though I listen to podcasts 80% of the time |

Would love it if they had a plug and play amp, but I think that will be unlikely. |

They said they may have an amp then? Wow that would be awesome. Hopefully not a bear to install.

The RAM/Booster Top HiFi system (HK) is more complex for a PnP amp to be installed as there are 9ch outputs to take care of, on two separate modules -the RAM (powering 4" components) and the Booster (powering the woofers). |

I think my worry is less with needing a modestly expensive amp (I’m assuming it would cost about 1k) but rather about the install requiring running new wiring or pulling up carpet and the entire dash to do it.
