All I need additional to this is a set of 6.5 inch components and sorted. Ill try and use my 5.25 inch units initially.

Thanks. I spotted that too and was going to ask, could I fit with as a straight 'hot swap' without coding or anything like that?

If so, I might do this instead as an interim measure.

The Amp will need Component Protection removed so it can be used in your car. Main Dealer may do this, or a specialist with the correct software. Price is around £60~£75

Here's some info on the differences between the systems.

Watching this with interest as mine has the standard system (ie non-Bose or B&O). I'd like to make it a touch better too. I wonder if there are better drive unit/s that can just be swapped for the original drive units? I can't be arsed messing with the amps and wiring etc, but swapping drive units out is do-able I guess.
