Sony upgrade in SEL?


Recommended Posts

I am currently edge shopping and have noticed that if you do not get the upgraded sony audio system that the dash under MFT is a very cheap bland looking set up compared to sony set up. So my question is if i buy an edge without the sony set up, is it possible to swap in the sony panel controls even if i dont buy all the speakers right away? IMO the sony set up gives the interior a nicer finish.

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Doubtful. At least not without a lot of work and extra parts. Why not just get the Sony?

Well trust me I want it, however I'm buying used so if i can find a good deal that is significantly cheaper enough to justify living without it I'm willing to compromise. I just wanted to know ahead of time so I can consider my options. I appreciate the reply.

 

Shopping tonight so hopefully tomorrow I will have an EDGE. I have been following these forums for a while, seems like alot of good info, ideas and people on here. Cant wait to be a part of the community!

If you had to buy all the parts new then it would likely be more than the difference in price between an SEL an Limited. I am sure it is possible if you wanted to spend the money to replace everything but probably not cost effective unless you found a donor car and got everything really cheap.

 

I was in your position and ended up getting an SEL. Replacing the speakers was the first step and made a big difference. I will slowly upgrade the system and happy I have my SEL.

Thanks for the advise! I have seen some threads on here about the stock speakers and how terrible they are so I'll plan on replacing them. I have an 06 F-150 supercrew that i replaced the speakers in for the same reason. Unfortunately i just blew the motor in her, so im going for an Edge this time.

 

What I really want is the vista roof package, thats my main goal! Getting ready to empty the wallet tonight :spend:

Good luck on your hunt! I got my fully loaded SEL with only 10,800 miles on it for a couple thousand cheaper than I was finding base Limited's for so it was a no brainier for me. The Vista roof is really nice and I use it way more than any sun roof we have had in the past.

Thank you! And good to know. I am finding the same with some online research. Went and looked at a few after work. Going to look at a few in the afternoon tomorrow and I will make a decision. So many choices, so little time
