Default B&O Sirius sounds just ok. certain songs sound great.

anyone know how to set it so i get the best sound. most of the sirius channels sound like my old bose system. I did turn up the bass and treb. CDs sound great.

Anyone know if the S8 comes with ipod hookup?

thanks,
Drew

Sad, but true - only your CDs will make the enormous difference between the B&O and the Bose seem justified. Signals from sat; fm, etc just won't. I keep the sat on 80% of my driving time (which hardly justifies the B&O cost) but when I use cd or my own pure mp3 compilations, then no regrets.

I made this change in my car, but Sirius is notorious for varying sound quality. Not sure if you have a similar option with the B&O system.

Default AMI - ipod interface

My understanding is that AMI, the ipod interface, became available as a $300 option mid-year 2007, but was standard in 2008 onward. It was not offered as part of a package (i.e. the sport pkg in the A8 did not get you AMI).
