V8 Saloon With Harman Kardon
 
Does anyone have a V8 with satnav and HK premium sound? Where does the amp fit - there's already a lot of stuff in the boot area and if I want to add the HK setup I can't see where the amp will fit.:mad:

Yes. The amp fits to the underside of the parcel shelf.

Isn't that where the HK sub woofer goes on a saloon? Doesn't the amp mount to the bracket that holds the sat nav drive on the right hand side in the boot?

Don't know about the V8, but on the V6 saloon, it's like this, below Sat Nav bracket RHS of boot:

I Have just been to have a look at my Rover 75 V8 and I can confirm that

the Harmon Kardon amp is situated in the position shown above..

Thanks Guys.
I haven't looked behind the trim yet, but if the satnav is already in place, is the bracket
different from the version with satnav only?

You can see where this is going - if I fit the amp, do I need to change the satnav bracket or does it have unused fixings to accept the amp as standard?

Looking at the EPC, there is a seperate bracket that attaches to the Sat Nav bracket (formally part number XQU100800, now superseeded by XQU000480)

Prices shown are before VAT.

I did a check on www.thepart.com but it seems that neither part numbers are available anymore. So a scrappy may be your best bet.


Here's another angle of it, showing more of the bracket.

Thank you Reebs, just what I needed to know. Now the hunt for the bits begins!
