Default B&O Experience

Never realized how good the sound system was until I blasted it just now in my car. Very crisp and no distortion at all I do notice a difference though when I run my music via Bluetooth vs. Android Auto (plugged in via USB 1). AA is definitely more powerful. BT is not as loud and it doesn't take full advantage of the system I think. I'm going to try to run some HD music and see how that goes Overall, this has to be my favorite sound system out of all my cars. I think Porsche has a $5,000+ sound system option but I never tried it. This is more than good enough for me

Glad you like you B&O System. You don't need to spend a large amount of money for a Burmeister (Porsche or MB) to enjoy good music!

Inciner8 - if you are an audiophile (I am) just download your music as flac files onto an SD card and pop it in the glove box. That will be your best audio quality no doubt.

Very nice! Funny that you asked I'll pop in my HD tracks from the SD card in my HiFiMan tomorrow to test it out.

I think they start at around the price you mentioned and some higher model MB or Porsches go for more than that.

this +1, and I have a rattle in my passenger door 🤦

Have you guys/gals looked at the sub yet?.....a joke. It's all plastic and super flimsy.....the speaker looks like a Walmart special.
