The upgraded B&O stereo is ironically worse than the standard system as the door panels and speaker covers are insufficiently insulated to handle the bass of this system. Any music in the 60-70hz range causes awful distortion and buzzing from the doors if the volume is over 50% or so. It has been to the dealership a total of six times to fix this issue, stuffed with more tape and foam than I can count, and it still isn't fixed. There are countless people on the Audiworld forums also complaining about this problem, and Audi doesn't seem to care. Absolutely unacceptable that a 60K car doesn't have as capable a sound system as a Honda Civic.
