JIMSTER WOW ! it is a poor sound i must admit
well a few years ago i helped a friend with a boggo sound system in an A8
we fitted tweeters onto the dash and an extra amp and sub base box in the boot and to be honest it was quite good obvs not B&O quality

The HVAC works in a basic mode, from the dedicated buttons, but you can't sync the settings or alter the centre vents etc Effectively you can't swap head units, it's AUDI or nothing. You can add / swap some of the peripherals....so you can add a Dension/GROM or similar to add usb/ipod/BT rather than audi unit, though the intergration is a bit hit an miss. You can add an aux in on the TV module if you have it. Audi DAB unit isn't too hard. In theory you CAN swap from Bose to B&O but it's half a car swap as it needs door panels, dashboard and so forth. I recall IT mentioning that it IS feasible, but really, just get a B&O car......Also you wonder about sound deadening and if your car is as good as a factory install. When D3 B&O is working it is one of the best factory audio systems in a car.....However it does seem that the glue on them fades over time and it is typically worth plucking some of the speakers and resealing the foam (i think IT even did a how to)

This has all been really helpful and I am grateful to everyone who has thrown their 2penneth in .
Ive been to view 4 now. Typically their opinion of "mint" and "immaculate" and "fully loaded with every possible option" doesn't hold water!! trashed alloys, budget tyres, deteriorated rear lenses, rough interiors... I think I know where I need to go with the next purchase. Watch this space

I think I will let mine go soon if you are interested. It's not mint and it's not fully loaded and I am not pretending it to be and I am not asking for much money for it. It's 2006 4.2TDI Sport with 185k miles on it. Looking around £3k with decent but not mint Audi 18" alloys with Michelin Crossclimate tyres that done 4k miles or a bit cheaper with 19 Carlsson alloys and 2 decent Pirelli tyres and 2 pretty old GoodYear tyres.

Just to close the loop on all of this excitement - I have just taken delivery of this a8
https://www.google.com/search?q=sele...-yl_eR9n6flzzM Its the first car on the pic at Select cars of lincoln. First impressions all very promising and encouraging. Has a few more options and toys than the ad specified but thats all good towards making the adjustment to letting go of the destroyed a8 Heres the pics of mine now at Coparts https://www.copart.co.uk/vehicleFind...way%22:null%7D
