It is when I give the car some welly in dynamic/active exhaust mode.....especially with the windows open ;)

I find the audio system satisfactory but on a vehicle costing approx £60-115k from new, Jaguar should have fitted a top notch system on the F-Type!

Mine sounds better now with the upgrades, but the upgraded centre speaker still sounds off. It is a bit too prominent, and sounds coloured, probably because it's in such a close rear plastic pocket mounting. I still prefer the stereo setting, with the fader well towards the front to emphasise the improved door speakers. Not in the same league as my Tannoy monitor golds at home, but pretty decent for such a small cabin.

Great speakers those Tannoys.

I have a set of Wharfedale 505.2’s at home which produce a superb sound.......shame they couldn’t be compacted to fit in the F-Type.

That's a cable that's connected to something when the car is transported to the dealership - nothing for the end user to connect it to.

You might be able to squeeze one in?

I don’t have that disconnected cable in my car boot. Some of the cables in the area are connected to the grey fusebox (top photo). Your car doesn’t appear to have this although the bracket is there (bottom photo) so I’m wondering if the disconnected cable was originally intended for it and it’s not required?

If you can’t see anywhere that it connects to and it’s not causing any electrical issues etc, I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.

The grey connector you see floating around is part of the Transit mode setup. (Nothing to do with Fords!)

You can cable tie that up out the way as it will never be used again.

Strange how some cars have that disconnected wire floating around in the boot and others don’t......could be down to the Pre-Delivery Inspection?
