    Has anyone upgraded the sound system on their GranTurismo? Mine came with a Harmon Kardon and at least one of the speakers is blown and I'm overall not impressed with the sound. I'm looking for other options.

    Stephanie the only sound system you need has eight cylinders and is right in front of you:D

    When I owned my Khamsin the only time I turned on the radio was at one of those Fort Lauderdale Dixie Highway railroad crossings when an endless 100+ wagon train crawled through.

    It was a Blaupunkt Berlin the nec plus ultra of it's day oohlala but no; I was very satisfied with the eight Weber carb trumpet musica:)

    I upgraded the infotainment head and HVAC units. The primary purpose was to get Apple Carplay and front/rear cameras on my 2012 GranTurismo. I have not done anything with the speakers and would be interested in what approach you take. I agree, the sound quality is mediocre.

    Disconnected the vacuum lines on the exhaust valves so the car produces wonderful music even when not in sports mode.

    Looks great!! Mine is a 2018, so I have Apple CarPlay and a larger display already. I really just need better sound (aside from the sound of the car, which is amazing). :)

    sent on the AM network!! I experienced the same in my XK8 Conv over Alligator alley I-75. Quite a difference from our DAB+ system home in Norway. Was like I was in the 70ies. :)
