I picked up my FE this morning and I've had a play with the infotainment this afternoon.
Seriously guys, not loud enough???, you have to be joking, it almost blows the bloody doors off!
Tested it with some flac tracks, Rather Be (Instrumental) by Cool Bandit, Frankenstein by Edgar Winter and Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke. I have no complaints, it sounds great.
I'm a 62 year old so my hearing is not what it used to be, maybe you guys who think it's too quiet should go get your hearing checked out...
Harman Kardon stereo?
When I picked up the car, I was disappointed by the HK system ( coming from BMW X1 HK) . However after about 2 weeks I sat down and started playing with the settings and the Equalizer. Honestly this Hk on the xc40 is way much better than the one I had on the X1. Sound is cristal clear and the surround is superb. You just need to fiddle with the sound then you can enjoy the HK sound experience. Good job HK.

Deffo loud enough for me, I'm not even on half volume listening to DAB stations. Not sure why people don't think it's loud enough, either your systems faulty or you need a hearing test

I'm so glad you said that, I had a Mini and an X1 with HK. Wasn't as good as the standard fit Sony stereo in my old Focus but it was more than capable with most frequencies.Gre wrote: ↑Thu Oct 25, 2018 6:59 am When I picked up the car, I was disappointed by the HK system ( coming from BMW X1 HK) .

I'm driving a V40 R-Design now, standard stereo and it's fantastic nearly up there with my old Focus just with a lot more trim rattles... I just got worried that the quality wasn't good enough because they removed the door speakers in the XC40 but kept them in the S60/V60/XC60/S90/V90/XC90...

I think it’s rather decent...better than the Bose system in my other car. Think putting the surround sound on full makes the sound nice and rich. It’s obviously not going to trouble a proper home separates system.
