Since I'm legally not allowed to drive, these cars aren't my own but my dads. There have been quite a few modifications made to each car, whether they be speaker upgrades, alloys, infotainment system or a remap. The first car I'll talk about is my dads 2014 Mercedes S350.
First of all, this is my dads car, a 2014 Mercedes S350 to replace his old 2006 S350 which he had owned for 7 years without seeing much problems. He was about to get a 2015 E63 S, but unfortunately he was given a test drive of a 2014 S350 and ultimately, that was the car of his dreams. He had to get one ASAP so once he found one with the right colour exterior/interior, right options such as ambient lighting, distronic plus(definitely something you need if you get one), AMG Line, Keyless Go, Air Freshener and a few other bits. Within a week my dad had placed an order for a car from bath, which was sent to Milton Keynes where we got it from. Once the car arrived, and we were taking it they made a video which I laughed my head off after watching. Once the car got home, I instantly started looking at alloy wheels since the standard 19"s didn't look too good in my opinion. Ended up getting 20" Vossen CVTs from a place in Birmingham. After that, the only thing which needed to be fixed in the car was the sound system. The standard was worked on after Burmester 3D and Burmester, which meant it wasn't the best they have made. Retrofitting the standard Burmester was a pain, especially the subwoofer underneath the footwells in the front. It took a days labour to get it off on just one side. It sounded quite nice after retrofitting it all, but a retrofit isn't like from a factory. The Audi A4s Bang and Olufsen had spoilt me and my dad so we had to give it a 3D feeling. The ones seen in the following pictures have been retrofitted, and finding the wiring diagrams, as well as connecting them with the standard Burmester Amplifier was a pain. The car now has 20 speakers, and we are currently working on the bass aspect. The rear subwoofer has got a replaced amplifier, from the standard Mercedes one to a Rockford Fosgate left from his old P2D2 10" which is for sale. There still wasn't enough bass, so I suggested buying the twoddle which lets you adjust the bass/subwoofer, and watching the subwoofer move is quite scary. The stock engineers didn't expect that to happen. The amount of sound produced has changed drastically but I guess its stressing the subwoofer so within a few weeks we are thinking of replacing it with a P2D2-8. Thanks for reading I guess, and any further updates will be posted. FYI, the subwoofer comes with Burmester 3D ;p.
First of all, some higher quality pictures taken with a DSLR ;p
Now some lower quality pics of the retrofits ;p
