NEWS: B&O sound systems are to be installed in ALL Audi models.
B&O enters into decisive Audi alliance
23-05-2007
Other industries:
B&O sound systems are to be installed in all Audi models.
Bank & Olufsen confirms a decisive expansion of the collaboration between the Danish manufacturer of radio/TV-equipment and the German car manufacturer.
It is general manager Wolfgang Hoffman from Audi who has announced to wardauto.com that in the future it will be possible to buy audio systems from Struer for all Audi models.
The alliance is an expansion of the present collaboration between the two manufacturers with regards to luxury products. General manager Torben Ballegaard Sørensen from B&O says to Børsen’s news agency: ”We are pleased to have satisfied customers”.
Until 2011 Audi will offer the opportunity for a B&O audio system in all models except the A3. This is estimated to yield a turnover of EUR 100 million annually for Bang & Olufsen when all sound systems will enter the market.
One of the best selling Audi models, A4, will be delivered with built-in B&O sound “in the near future”, it goes.

No matter where you go, there you are.

Damn.. No Audi A3 :-( Just in the process of ordering one :-(
The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

Re: NEWS: B&O sound systems are to be installed in ALL Audi models.
Must be the new A4, introduction November this year. Will the ALT speaker pop up from the dash in the A4? Like the A8 / Q7 ! Not in the A3… so time to swap my A3 for a BMW (far better audio sound and better adaptive suspension).

It's very good actually. Is it worth the money? Not in my opinion, but it's up there with the specialist custom installs - so you obviously pay a premium for the fact it's a custom fit from the factory.

Re: NEWS: B&O sound systems are to be installed in ALL Audi models.
I had a ride in an Audi A5 equiped with the B&O sound system. The car is very nice, but it looks a little old IMO. The sound is really amazing. It really sounds like 7.1, with all these speakers around...

Re: NEWS: B&O sound systems are to be installed in ALL Audi models.
I'm personally waiting for a B&O deal with BMW, because the crazy lines of todays BMW matches better with the crazy in car audio design of B&O. Audi's are really really good cars but some models look a bit bored (except the A6 station  )

Re: NEWS: B&O sound systems are to be installed in ALL Audi models.
It is somehow true, or I can somehow understand that the lines and the design of most of todays BMWs is more interesting and even crazier, less conventional than the design of most of the Audis (except the RS8), but I don't see anything crazy in the design of B&O sound systems for cars. They look like every other speaker, but they don't sound that way!

Yeah who in the world can't appreciate this bimmers styling. WHOA stunning. I'm very bored with Audi old fart design. Even the new A5 - Boring. Somehow BMW and Benz are always sexy in comparison with Audi!

Re: NEWS: B&O sound systems are to be installed in ALL Audi models.
My wife and I were invited to a premiere of the Audi R8 last night. The car was impressive, but placed above a bar in the Hotel we visited. Look but don't touch, and don't get too close. Security stationed about the vehicle. We could barely see it, but there was definately a B&O sound system was inside. Glossy brochures lathered over this fact, glowingly. " Does this vehicle interest you ? " Yes, came my reply. " Any chance of a test drive ? " I asked. Scheduled in the future. Well, the Champagne was good.

I meant with crazy audio design the acoustic lense of B&O not the "normal" in-door drivers  you can even put this thing on the roof of a BMW and it still looks cool
