Search the second USB mod here and it is the bomb. Connect up a remote hard drive in your glove box and have GB's of .mp3's at your fingertips.
Add a 4 channel amp (bridge two for the sub), add a sub, replace front speakers and you will have a great system - can spend less to get for a comparable system but better base; spend the same for Sony and get a decent system w/ decent front stage and much better base; spend about another $300 or more and will have kick butt stereo, rattle your doors and have the girls giggle.
I have the Premium system as you, it sucked compared to my '97 base stereo. I dumped way too much for my audio upgrade, but plan to keep my truck for awhile and listening to the music while sitting in traffic still puts a smile on my face.

Hey guys, I'm in a similar boat here and I'm looking for a little more information.
I have the same premium 6-cd system. The dealer told me that it was basic 4 speakers + sync functionality and steering wheel controls. Now that I have the truck (2012 fx4 w/505A) and the FX Luxury Package, I'm seeing that I have the tweeters there (the dealer said they weren't in that package) so I'm wondering what other parts there are. Is there an amp as well or is that only in the Sony package? Is there a separate sub? I'm noticing that the system puts out a lot more bass than any after market speakers I've listened to but it doesn't sound like there's a sub.

I have that same non-nav Sony basic setup and can't find much info on it. There is something that looks like an amp under the center console. The factory speakers are muddy sounding, so I'm going to start with new front door speakers (Infinity Kappa or JL Audio coaxial) and add more power later if needed.
Any info on this system would be appreciated.
