Sorry to say but the forced downgrade to Meridian sound system (from Meridian surround) is really disappointing. I had low expectations and it fails to deliver. Sounds like the base stereo I had in a 2001 Hyundai.

Sorry to hear that. At what point during the process did you build switch from Meridian surround to regular Meridian?

Now I’m getting nervous. Build is committed for 24-2-2023 a Pangea X phev. Buildsheet says meridian surround sound. Is there still a change they downgrade it? I heard and saw on the sheet that I won’t get a digidash . Pffff missing both thes option on my ordered X would be more then disappointing…

Totally agree. Just drove our new Defender from the dealer to the ceramic coating company and noticed the mediocre sound. Also noticed the 2 missing speakers in the rear cargo area ceiling. Now I'll have to spend $8K for an aftermarket sound system. On the bright side I did get the digital dash.

basically when it hit the production line. I can't narrow it down to a day. I was just getting periodic updated order sheets from the dealer.

I was surprised to see that I did get two of the 4 charging ports (type c, missing the barrel plug) in the rear and the one up front as well. Digital clusters were there too.
Hmm. wait. You got an X without the top Meridian sound?

That’s right. Since around October they’ve been downgrading sound systems throughout the Land Rover fleet (including RR). Vehicles that should’ve been getting the Autobiography Meridian are getting Meridian Surround. And vehicles that should’ve been getting Surround are getting the base Meridian.

The only vehicle not getting screwed on sound is the entry level ‘S’ trim - should get the base Meridian, and still is!

I find this unacceptable. This is going to hurt resale value tremendously. Who is going to buy a top trim that's coming with analog dials and a base sound system. My X build is scheduled for this week. I will check with dealer next week to get an updated build sheet and see if there were any changes to the sound system.
