GEELY

Upgrade your Geely’s factory audio system with Focal Inside Plug & Play speaker kits from Focal Australia. Each vehicle-specific package is designed for OEM fitment, using original mounting points and plug-in connectors so there is no cutting, no splicing and no permanent modification to the cabin. Installation is clean, fast and fully reversible, making it ideal for leased, new or late-model Geely vehicles.

By replacing the standard speakers with high-performance Focal drivers, these Plug & Play kits deliver a clearer, more dynamic soundstage, with stronger mid-bass, more detailed vocals and smoother highs than the factory system can provide. You keep your original head unit, controls and vehicle features, while enjoying a far more engaging in-car listening experience every time you drive your Geely.

Geely has returned to Australia with a growing range of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles featuring large infotainment displays, connected services and increasingly sophisticated factory sound systems.

The current Australian Geely range includes:

• Geely EX2 electric hatchback
• Geely EX5 electric SUV
• Geely Starray EM‑i plug-in hybrid SUV

Earlier and privately imported Geely vehicles may include:

• Geely MK
• Geely Atlas
• Geely Boyue
• Geely Borui
• Geely Coolray
• Geely GS
• Geely Emgrand
• Geely Emgrand X3
• Geely Emgrand X7
• Geely Tugella
• Geely Xingyue
• Other Geely and Geely Galaxy models

Focal compatibility information is available for selected international Geely models. However, this does not mean that every current Australian Geely has a confirmed direct-fit Focal Inside package.

Some applications may require:

• Custom speaker mounting adaptors
• Connector adaptation
• Alternative tweeter mounting
• Acoustic sealing
• Focal BAM acoustic treatment
• Factory-amplifier integration
• Digital signal processing
• Low-voltage power assessment
• Professional measurement and tuning

Compatibility depends on the exact model, production date, variant, factory speaker configuration, mounting dimensions, impedance, signal processing and electrical architecture.

The EX2 and EX5 are battery-electric vehicles, while the Starray EM‑i combines a petrol engine with an electric drivetrain and rechargeable high-voltage battery. These vehicles require additional precautions around their high-voltage components and low-voltage auxiliary systems.

An Authorised Focal Australia Dealer can inspect the vehicle, identify its factory audio configuration and determine whether a confirmed Focal Inside product or customised Focal installation is appropriate.

1. What are the best speaker upgrades for a Geely vehicle?

The best Geely speaker upgrade depends on the exact vehicle, factory sound system, available installation space and the owner’s listening expectations.

A practical upgrade will often begin with the front speakers because they have the greatest influence on:

• Vocal clarity
• Treble detail
• Midrange accuracy
• Stereo imaging
• Mid-bass response
• Telephone audio
• Navigation instructions
• Overall listening comfort

A customised Geely audio upgrade may include:

• Focal component speakers
• Focal coaxial speakers
• Custom mounting adaptors
• Factory connector adaptation
• Secure tweeter mounting
• Acoustic sealing around the speakers
• Focal BAM door treatment
• A compatible amplifier
• Digital signal processing
• A compact or custom subwoofer
• Factory-infotainment integration
• Professional system tuning

Potential Focal speaker ranges include:

• Auditor
• Universal
• Access
• Polyglass
• Slatefiber
• Flax Evo
• K2 Power
• K2 Power M
• Utopia M

Auditor, Universal and Access may suit efficient upgrades where the speakers are driven from a compatible factory source.

Slatefiber and Flax Evo may be considered where greater detail, refinement and tonal accuracy are required.

K2 Power can suit more dynamic systems with suitable amplification. K2 Power M and Utopia M are intended for advanced installations involving custom fabrication, amplification, DSP and professional tuning.

The most expensive Focal speaker is not automatically the best choice for every Geely. The selected product must match the available power, factory signal, speaker impedance, mounting dimensions and desired system design.

2. Does Focal offer Plug & Play speakers for Geely vehicles?

Focal compatibility information identifies Focal Inside products for selected international Geely models, including applications using products such as:

• IS TOY 165
• IS TOY 165 TWU
• IC TOY 165

However, these products should not automatically be described as direct Plug & Play upgrades for every Geely.

The current compatibility information includes notes such as:

• Connector adaptation may be necessary
• Some vehicles do not have a factory front tweeter pod
• Some Geely models use front coaxial speakers
• Different speaker configurations may exist within the same model range

Before a product is described as Plug & Play, the installation should confirm:

• Speaker diameter
• Basket shape
• Mounting-hole pattern
• Installation depth
• Magnet clearance
• Factory connector
• Connector pin assignment
• Speaker impedance
• Factory-amplifier compatibility
• Tweeter position
• Grille clearance
• Window clearance
• Required mounting spacer
• Factory-signal characteristics

A connector that physically fits does not prove complete compatibility. The electrical pin assignment, speaker loading, channel function and signal bandwidth must also be correct.

An installation that uses custom adaptors, connector modification or fabricated tweeter mounts can still provide a clean, factory-style appearance. However, it should more accurately be described as a customised or professionally integrated Geely audio upgrade.

3. Which Geely models can be upgraded with Focal audio?

A professionally customised Focal audio upgrade may be possible in many current, earlier and privately imported Geely vehicles.

Current Australian models include:

• Geely EX2
• Geely EX5
• Geely Starray EM‑i

International and privately imported models may include:

• Geely Atlas
• Geely Boyue
• Geely Borui
• Geely Coolray
• Geely GS
• Geely NL3
• Geely Emgrand
• Geely Emgrand S
• Geely Emgrand X3
• Geely Emgrand X7
• Geely Tugella
• Geely Xingyue
• Geely Monjaro
• Geely Okavango
• Geely Preface
• Other Geely or Geely Galaxy models

The appearance of a vehicle in a compatibility table does not necessarily confirm that every variant uses the same speaker system.

Vehicles from different markets may have different:

• Speaker sizes
• Speaker locations
• Audio-system variants
• Factory amplifiers
• Infotainment software
• Wiring connectors
• Speaker impedances
• Electrical systems
• Safety-alert routing
• Warranty conditions

Each vehicle should be identified by model, production month, model year, variant, market of origin and factory audio specification.

4. Can the Geely EX2 be upgraded with Focal speakers?

Potentially, yes. The Geely EX2 may be suitable for a customised Focal speaker upgrade, but the vehicle should be inspected before products are selected.

Australian EX2 variants have different factory audio systems:

• EX2 Complete: four-speaker system
• EX2 Inspire: six-speaker system

The difference in speaker count means that a package developed for one variant should not automatically be assumed to suit the other.

A potential EX2 upgrade may include:

• Efficient Focal front speakers
• Compatible rear speakers
• Custom mounting adaptors
• Factory connector adaptation
• Acoustic sealing
• Targeted door treatment
• A compact amplifier
• Digital signal processing
• A space-efficient subwoofer

Before selecting speakers, the installer should confirm:

• Factory speaker sizes
• Speaker locations
• Speaker impedance
• Mounting depth
• Connector type
• Available source-unit power
• Factory frequency filtering
• Factory equalisation
• Warning-sound routing
• Available amplifier mounting space

The EX2’s compact cabin can provide useful sound-quality benefits because the occupants sit relatively close to the speakers.

However, any equipment must preserve:

• Front and rear seat operation
• Rear passenger space
• Under-seat storage
• Boot capacity
• Under-bonnet storage
• Vehicle wiring
• Safety equipment
• High-voltage components
• Manufacturer service access

The EX2 is a battery-electric vehicle. Amplifiers and powered subwoofers must operate from an appropriately assessed low-voltage supply and must not be connected to or interfere with the high-voltage traction system.

5. Can the Geely EX5 sound system be upgraded?

Potentially, yes, but the correct approach depends heavily on whether the vehicle is an EX5 Complete or EX5 Inspire.

The EX5 Complete has a conventional six-speaker factory system.

The EX5 Inspire has a substantially more complex 16-speaker, 1,000-watt Flyme premium sound system that may include:

• Four tweeters
• Multiple midrange speakers
• Four woofers
• Driver-headrest speakers
• A factory subwoofer
• Dedicated factory amplification
• Digital signal processing

The six-speaker Complete may provide a more straightforward starting point for a customised speaker, amplifier and subwoofer upgrade.

A potential EX5 Complete installation may include:

• Front Focal component speakers
• Compatible rear speakers
• Custom mounting adaptors
• Connector adaptation
• Acoustic treatment
• A compact amplifier
• DSP
• A compact or custom subwoofer

The 16-speaker Inspire requires a complete system assessment before any speakers are disconnected.

The installer must identify:

• Every speaker location
• Individual speaker impedance
• Channel allocation
• Active crossover frequencies
• Factory time alignment
• Factory equalisation
• Headrest-speaker functions
• Subwoofer signal
• Telephone-audio routing
• Navigation routing
• Safety-alert routing
• Amplifier communication and start-up behaviour

Replacing individual speakers in an actively processed system without understanding their original function can produce poor tonal balance, reduced output, warning errors or missing vehicle sounds.

6. Can the Geely Starray EM‑i audio system be upgraded?

Potentially, yes. The Starray EM‑i may be suitable for anything from a targeted front-speaker improvement to an advanced professionally tuned Focal system.

Australian variants have different factory audio specifications:

• Starray EM‑i Complete: six-speaker system
• Starray EM‑i Inspire: 16-speaker, 1,000-watt Flyme premium system

A potential Complete upgrade may include:

• Front Focal component speakers
• Compatible rear speakers
• Custom mounting adaptors
• Factory connector adaptation
• Acoustic sealing
• Focal BAM treatment
• A compact amplifier
• Digital signal processing
• A compact subwoofer

The Inspire’s 16-speaker system requires more extensive assessment.

Its premium system may use:

• Multiple tweeters
• Midrange speakers
• Door woofers
• Headrest speakers
• Factory subwoofer
• Dedicated amplification
• Active filtering
• Factory equalisation
• Time alignment
• Separate routing for calls and navigation

The purpose of every factory channel must be determined before speakers, amplification or DSP are changed.

The Starray EM‑i is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. The installation must not interfere with its:

• High-voltage battery
• Electric drivetrain
• Charging equipment
• Battery cooling
• High-voltage cables
• Safety disconnects
• Vehicle control modules
• Crash sensors
• Manufacturer service points

Aftermarket audio equipment must operate from a properly assessed low-voltage auxiliary supply.

7. Are the EX5 and Starray 16-speaker systems simple speaker-replacement applications?

No. These systems should be treated as integrated, amplified and digitally processed audio systems rather than conventional six-speaker arrangements.

A 16-speaker total does not mean that 16 full-range speakers are connected to interchangeable channels.

The system may divide sound between:

• Tweeters
• Midrange speakers
• Door woofers
• Centre speaker
• Headrest speakers
• Surround channels
• Factory subwoofer

Different channels may receive different frequency ranges, equalisation, signal delay and volume behaviour.

Some speakers may also reproduce:

• Navigation instructions
• Telephone audio
• Voice-assistant responses
• Parking information
• Vehicle notifications
• Driver-assistance alerts

Before modifying the system, the installer should measure:

• Frequency response of each channel
• Output voltage
• Speaker impedance
• Channel polarity
• Factory crossover points
• Signal delay
• Equalisation
• Volume-dependent processing
• Start-up behaviour
• Shutdown behaviour
• Alert and telephone routing

A high-quality Focal speaker connected to the wrong factory channel may perform worse than expected if that channel carries only a restricted frequency range.

An advanced upgrade may require a multichannel DSP, compatible amplification and a carefully planned interface rather than a basic speaker swap.

8. Are Geely EV and plug-in hybrid upgrades different from ordinary petrol vehicles?

Yes. Battery-electric and plug-in hybrid Geely vehicles require additional electrical and safety planning.

The EX2 and EX5 are battery-electric vehicles. The Starray EM‑i is a plug-in hybrid containing both a petrol engine and high-voltage electric drivetrain.

These vehicles contain components that must not be disturbed, including:

• High-voltage battery
• Orange high-voltage cables
• Charging equipment
• Electric-drive components
• Inverters and converters
• Battery cooling
• Safety disconnects
• Crash sensors
• Emergency cut-off systems
• Vehicle control modules
• High-voltage service points

Orange high-voltage cables and connectors must not be cut, tapped, moved or used as mounting points or convenient cable-routing locations.

Aftermarket speakers are normally passive devices, but amplifiers, DSPs and powered subwoofers place an additional load on the vehicle’s low-voltage system.

Before powered equipment is installed, the dealer should confirm:

• Approved accessory supply point
• Low-voltage system capacity
• Continuous current availability
• Peak current availability
• Fuse requirements
• Cable sizing
• Grounding requirements
• Vehicle sleep and wake behaviour
• Low-voltage battery protection
• DC-to-DC converter capacity
• Electromagnetic interference
• Warranty requirements

Audio equipment must never be powered directly from the high-voltage traction battery.

9. Can I keep the original Geely infotainment screen and vehicle controls?

In most cases, retaining the original infotainment system will be the preferred approach.

Modern Geely systems may control or display:

• Radio
• Bluetooth
• Apple CarPlay
• Android Auto
• Satellite navigation
• Reversing camera
• Surround-view cameras
• Parking information
• Vehicle settings
• Climate functions
• Driver-assistance settings
• Warning messages
• Voice control
• Telephone audio
• Connected services
• Over-the-air updates

Available features depend on the vehicle and variant.

Removing or replacing the original screen may cause important functions to be lost or create warning messages and communication faults.

A compatible amplifier or DSP may accept the factory speaker-level signal while retaining the original screen and controls.

Before designing the system, the installer should measure:

• Output voltage
• Frequency response
• Factory speaker impedance
• Active frequency filtering
• Factory equalisation
• Volume-dependent processing
• Available full-range channels
• Signal polarity
• Start-up and shutdown behaviour
• Warning-sound routing
• Telephone-audio routing

The installation should be designed from actual measurements rather than connector appearance or assumptions based on speaker count.

10. Will a Focal upgrade retain navigation, telephone and safety-alert sounds?

A correctly designed audio system should retain all required factory sounds.

These may include:

• Navigation instructions
• Incoming telephone audio
• Voice-assistant responses
• Parking alerts
• Seat-belt warnings
• Door warnings
• Driver-assistance alerts
• Collision warnings
• Blind-spot alerts
• System notifications

The exact routing varies between models and variants.

Some sounds may be generated by:

• The infotainment system
• The instrument cluster
• A dedicated warning speaker
• Individual audio channels
• Headrest speakers
• The factory amplifier
• A vehicle-control module

Before factory speakers or amplifiers are disconnected, all important vehicle functions should be tested.

After the installation, the system should be checked for:

• Correct start-up
• Correct shutdown
• No missing warning sounds
• No delayed alerts
• No unwanted turn-on noise
• No excessive alert volume
• Correct telephone audio
• Correct navigation audio
• No diagnostic warnings
• No unexpected battery drain

Safety-related sounds should never be removed merely to simplify an audio installation.

11. Can a damaged Geely speaker be replaced with a Focal speaker?

Potentially, yes, but the problem should be diagnosed before a replacement speaker is ordered.

Possible symptoms include:

• Crackling
• Buzzing
• Distortion
• No sound
• Intermittent operation
• Reduced output
• Weak treble
• Poor bass
• Left-to-right imbalance
• Rattling during bass notes

These symptoms can be caused by:

• A damaged speaker
• Loose trim
• Poor speaker mounting
• Damaged wiring
• Loose connector
• Moisture
• Infotainment fault
• Factory amplifier fault
• Incorrect balance or fade settings
• Active factory filtering
• Previous aftermarket work

A speaker producing little bass or treble may be receiving a deliberately filtered signal and operating as intended.

Where one conventional speaker has failed, replacing the left and right speakers as a matched pair will generally provide better tonal consistency.

A suitable Focal replacement may require:

• Custom mounting adaptor
• Connector adaptor
• Acoustic seal
• Alternative fasteners
• Impedance assessment
• Signal measurement
• Crossover integration

A similar nominal diameter does not guarantee physical, electrical or acoustic compatibility.

12. Is acoustic treatment worthwhile in a Geely?

Yes. Targeted acoustic treatment can improve speaker performance and reduce unwanted panel vibration.

Focal BAM treatment may help:

• Reduce door-panel resonance
• Improve speaker-mounting rigidity
• Reduce sound escaping through the outer door panel
• Improve mid-bass response
• Reduce rattles
• Produce cleaner and more controlled sound

Potential treatment areas include:

• Front doors
• Rear doors
• Speaker mounting surfaces
• Selected boot panels
• Tailgate
• Wheel-arch areas
• Loose trim interfaces

Treatment must not interfere with:

• Door drainage
• Window mechanisms
• Door locks
• Wiring
• Airbags
• Pressure sensors
• Safety equipment
• High-voltage components
• Battery ventilation
• Cabin vents
• Identification labels
• Manufacturer service access

Electric vehicles can make tyre, suspension, road and wind noise more noticeable because there is less engine noise to mask it.

Treatment should be applied strategically. Adding material to every available surface increases weight and may complicate future servicing without delivering a proportionate improvement.

13. Does a Geely audio upgrade need an amplifier or DSP?

Not every Geely speaker upgrade requires an amplifier or DSP.

Efficient Focal speakers may provide a worthwhile improvement when driven from a compatible factory source.

This may be sufficient for an owner seeking:

• Clearer vocals
• Improved treble
• Better tonal balance
• Stronger mid-bass
• Cleaner sound at moderate volume
• Improved incoming telephone audio

An amplifier can provide:

• Greater clean volume
• Better speaker control
• Stronger dynamics
• Improved mid-bass
• Reduced distortion
• Greater headroom
• Power for a subwoofer

A DSP can allow the installer to:

• Manage factory equalisation
• Combine compatible factory signals
• Set crossover frequencies
• Balance individual speakers
• Apply corrective equalisation
• Adjust time alignment
• Improve stereo imaging
• Integrate a subwoofer
• Tune the system for the driver’s position

DSP cannot restore frequencies that are absent from the selected source signal. It also cannot make an electrically incompatible speaker or unsafe power connection suitable.

Vehicles with a 16-speaker factory system may require a multichannel interface and DSP, but the original system must be measured before the required equipment can be determined.

14. Can a subwoofer be installed in a Geely EX2, EX5 or Starray?

Potentially, yes. A subwoofer can add deeper, better-controlled bass and reduce the demand placed on the door speakers.

Potential solutions include:

• ISUB ACTIVE
• ISUB ACTIVE 2.1
• ISUB TWIN
• Under-seat systems where clearance permits
• Boot-side installations
• Spare-wheel-area systems
• Removable enclosures
• Small custom enclosures
• Selected Focal Specialised Subwoofers
• Conventional Focal subwoofers

The selected solution must account for:

• Available boot space
• Seat operation
• Under-seat equipment
• Cargo requirements
• Factory storage
• Charging cables
• High-voltage components
• Low-voltage electrical capacity
• Amplifier power requirements
• Factory subwoofer integration

The EX5 Inspire and Starray EM‑i Inspire already include a factory subwoofer as part of their premium systems. Upgrading these vehicles requires an assessment of the existing subwoofer channel, factory amplifier and signal processing.

Correct crossover, polarity, phase, level and time alignment are essential. A poorly integrated subwoofer can sound disconnected or produce less bass because of acoustic cancellation.

15. How do I confirm compatibility, and what will a Geely audio upgrade cost?

Begin by collecting the complete vehicle information.

This should include:

• Exact Geely model
• Production month and year
• Vehicle variant
• Battery-electric or plug-in hybrid drivetrain
• Factory infotainment system
• Number and location of speakers
• Factory amplifier
• Factory subwoofer
• Headrest speakers
• Previous audio modifications
• Desired listening position
• Required boot and cabin practicality

Physical compatibility can be affected by:

• Speaker diameter
• Basket shape
• Mounting-hole pattern
• Installation depth
• Magnet diameter
• Factory connector
• Grille clearance
• Window clearance
• Door-mechanism clearance
• Tweeter position
• Required mounting spacer
• Moisture protection

Electrical and acoustic compatibility can be affected by:

• Factory speaker impedance
• Source-unit power
• Active frequency filtering
• Factory equalisation
• Factory amplifier configuration
• Signal delay
• Warning-sound routing
• Low-voltage electrical capacity
• Vehicle sleep and wake behaviour
• High-voltage safety requirements

The cost depends on:

• Exact model and variant
• Factory audio system
• Speaker range selected
• Number of speakers
• Required mounting adaptors
• Connector adaptation
• Acoustic treatment
• Amplifier installation
• DSP integration
• Subwoofer selection
• Interior disassembly
• Custom fabrication
• Electric or plug-in hybrid integration requirements
• Final measurement and tuning

An EX2 or six-speaker EX5 Complete upgrade will generally cost less than rebuilding or integrating with a 16-speaker EX5 Inspire or Starray EM‑i Inspire system.

It would be misleading to provide one standard Geely upgrade price without inspecting the vehicle.

Genuine Focal products purchased through an Authorised Focal Australia Dealer receive the applicable Australian product warranty and support.

The warranty conditions applying to the Geely itself are determined by Geely, the selling dealer or the relevant warranty provider.

An audio modification does not necessarily cancel every aspect of the vehicle warranty. However, damage caused by incompatible equipment, unsafe high-voltage work, incorrect wiring, excessive electrical loading or poor installation may not be covered.

Upgrade Your Geely with Focal Sound

Whether you drive a Geely EX2, EX5, Starray EM‑i or an earlier imported Geely model, there may be a suitable Focal audio upgrade available.

Focal compatibility information identifies Focal Inside products for selected international Geely vehicles. However, connector adaptation, alternative tweeter mounting or additional installation work may still be required in some applications.

Current Australian models should be inspected individually, particularly where they contain:

• Battery-electric or plug-in hybrid drivetrains
• Factory amplification
• Digital signal processing
• Headrest speakers
• Factory subwoofers
• Safety-alert integration
• Connected infotainment systems

Where a confirmed direct-fit package is unavailable, an authorised dealer may create a customised installation using products from ranges such as:

• Auditor
• Universal
• Access
• Polyglass
• Slatefiber
• Flax Evo
• K2 Power
• K2 Power M
• Utopia M
• Focal amplifiers
• Focal DSP solutions
• Focal subwoofers

The system may also include:

• Custom mounting adaptors
• Factory connector adaptation
• Acoustic treatment
• Additional amplification
• Digital signal processing
• Factory-infotainment integration
• Professional measurement and tuning

Battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models require appropriate low-voltage integration and strict separation from their high-voltage batteries, drivetrains and charging systems.

A correctly selected and professionally installed Focal system can deliver clearer vocals, stronger mid-bass, improved stereo imaging, greater dynamics and better-controlled bass while retaining the Geely’s original screen, controls, safety functions and interior practicality.
