Upgrade my Sound system. Need Advice
Hi all,
I have 03 G500 and I am not satisfied with the quality of the sound system nor the head unit look. I had Porsche cayenne with Bose sound system it was amazing!
For the head unit I am thinking of purchases this unit:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DVD-GPS-NAVI-BT-Player-MERCEDES-BENZ-E-CLS-CLK-G-Class-W211-W219-W209-W463-8797-/250974364350?hash=item3a6f3ce2be
it has the oem look with further options, the downside it's Chinese made and they told me it's not support the fiber optic amplifier if my car has it!!
Since I don't have any idea about the cars audio systems please I need to know the followings:
- How I can know if my 03 G500 has the fiber optical amplifier or not? there is no logo for any brands on the speakers!
- Does the head unit affect the quality of the car sound system? if yes can I still upgrade the sound equipment even with this unit?
- what is your best advise for upgrading the sound system? what I should change speakers? subwoofer? and what brand/size will fit perfectly? I don't want to change the oem look or install big equipment.
I appreciate any thought on this

beater with a heater
it should have optical, the radio from China is junk, have a similar one sitting on my work bench in the garage for a BMW that doesn't work worth a damn.
