    Aftermarket exhaust systems making you deaf in the long run. :D So you need more punch from your audio speakers. ;)

    Why the battery?

    And aren't the new stereos good in the 599s, F430s and 612s?

    Youre just a fountain of knowledge here. The Scuderia and the CS do in fact have A/C

    I am actually pretty surprised that no Car Stereo company has set up a supply/branding agreement with Ferrari the way that Alpine had with Lamborghini and Porsche had with Blaupunkt in the 80's.

    First thing I did when I got my 430 was change the radio, the Becker one is crap. And I really don't understand this "The exhaust is the best sound, why have radio" attitude, putting in a better system doesn't turn off the pipes! I can listen to my iPod when I fancy it or just turn it off and enjoy the pipes, it's called choice.

    I even have a sub in mine. iPod removes the need to carry CD's, prefer the look of the Alpine unit I have fitted, easier to use, etc. The factory one was crap in 1996, technology has moved on a bit since then.

    Great minds think alike JD! I have an Alpine head unit too, and a sub fitted behind the seat.

    Because Ferrari is too cheap to buy quality especially when they know such a high percentage of buyers will toss the original. It is exactly they didn't install any radio for years. Thank God they didn't put Blaupunkt in like Porsche. Those things are trash.
