Paul W:Ford are absolute toilet as a car brand.
The only thing "toilet" about my 2015 Mustang GT is the sound system! The "Shaker" 9 speaker audio system that came in my Premium trim level is a huge disappointment. For those that are interested (and to keep on topic) see the car here.
There are many premium Ford applications here in the US where this would integrate quite well; Mustang GT Premium, Fusion Titanium, Escape Titanium, Explorer Sport, Expedition Limited...
Beo4 'til I die!
Hiort: Duels: I think the announcement at the time said they sold HK the rights to use both the B&O name and Play. Correct. The deal included a license to use both brandnames : http://investor.harman.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=904134

As an employee of the car company concerned I had the opportunity to discuss this arrangement some months ago. Without contravening the corporate rules on " social media" I believe I can say that B&O people from Design were available to talk about the visible side of things and there was an impressive demo installation. It does not therefore appear B&O have just sold the rights to the name and walked away. The sound quality brief is to create an augmented effect with greater spacial feel.
hats off to HK as that is good foresight (and nice to know B&O still have their fingers in the pie)
we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

I will e-mail some contacts to clarify the situation so it can be confirmed for Beoworld for this audience.
Great that makes now at least one good reason to enter into a ford.
toilet car like vw for sure but that wouldn't annoy me to get into a toilet sonorized by b&o.

Echo !
terrible accoustics in here. Are you posting from a cheap model VW ?!
Bad connection with an ipad. Sorry.
always enjoyed this level of detail from B&O (Aston Martin N430) where they would colour code the speaker to match the welt (piping) trim....
Very good news that Bang & Olufsen natural sound will become available in Ford vehicles also.
Ford is in Europe an involving driving car, making your sensors work. Great to read here that B&O Play will expand that experience.
Harman owns B&O car sound systems, they make this possible. Big compliments.
BMW moved to Bowers & Wilkins, still have the Harman Kardon option too on latest new models.
Mercedes-Benz moved to Burmester.
Ford moves from Sony to B&O Play
(from internet: spokesperson confirms that anywhere you currently see a Sony system (Focus, Fusion, Explorer Platinum, to name a few) it will soon be replaced with a B&O Play system.)
