This is sarcasm I assume? I have B&O system in my Audi and it's the best sound system I've heard in a vehicle.....by a lot.

lol. ya. i'm drunk. BO.... wait for it. Stinks. got it :happy107::happy107:
but seriously that sony in the 17 is a joke. the "speakers" are cardboard junk and they charged us 3k+ for that junk if u factor the pacakge price. i was gonna rip it out regardless for JL since i'm biased and have done JL for so long but thats just me. i gotta have a great sound system or i'm not happy.
it will be interesting how much they gonna charge even more for the B&O. i gonna guess its another 2-3k on top of lux package. i guess my point if i have one is let it be an option to take off and not charge us for junk so we can put the money towards a real audio system.

The Sony is not good. B&O will be a welcome addition.

The Audi B&Os are good. But you clearly haven't heard the MB and Porsche Burmesters. Now that's state of the art audio in vehicles!

That being said, I think it really depends on vehicle to vehicle, and model to model.

Our 2009 Cayenne Turbo's Bose system is FAR superior to our 2014 Infiniti QX80's Bose. In fact, even my Raptor's Sony is better than that QX80 Bose. Same goes with a lot of the Lexus Mark Levinson audio. Some of them are outright atrocious.

I wouldn't be surprised if this B&O in the Raptor sounds nothing like the Audi B&Os.

I'd bet that the tailgate get's the F-150 stamp though if you opt out of the appliqué. Otherwise, they'd have to stamp out a separate tailgate just for that.

Headlights make some sense to keep the old design, because they're unique anyway.

If it wasn't said, the 18 order banks are open and dealers should know their allocation number.

Talked to mine yesterday afternoon and was told that they didn't have their allocations yet. They're supposed to call back today.

They're doing this under the B&O Play banner rather than Bang & Olufsen. My guess is that the speakers will be JBL with a B&O label. Which is fine with me - JBL makes good stuff. It will be an upgraded consumer level system, not audiophile. I doubt that it will add anything to the bottom line.

Hopefully this will make finding a person with a LB applique easier to find who wants to swap for my non applique tailgate :biggrin:
