Retrofit Bang & Olufsen

Been looking for a 2018 carbon edition for a while and it’s hard to find the spec I want within my budget
I’ve found a car that ticks a lot of the boxes and is fairly low mileage but one thing that’s missing is comfort and sound
Is it doable to retrofit B&O
Has anyone else done it and is it worth it over the Audi sound system
I had a B9 RS4 with B&O for the last month and it spent most of the time back at the dealers so didn’t have a chance to play with it to really see what it was like
👍

One's perception of audio quality is a very personal thing and I didn't think the B&O in the B9 was that good - treble and mid-range were pretty OK but it lacked warmth and bass - there is a sub in the boot too. Lest you think I'm some baseball cap wearing head-banger I have to add that I'm 64 and not. The B&O in the current ride is excellent so it isn't like they can't do a good job of it.

I’ve brought the car mentioned, everything was right about the car, Daytona grey carbon edition with 21000 miles, was really hard to make a decision on it with B&O missing but rest of spec was ok, head up, pano roof, memory seats now to see if I can get B&O retrofitted
I found one place that can do it but they want £5200 plus vat I ain’t paying that
Maybe there is a partial retrofit, tbh one of things I would want is to make sound a bit better maybe with a sub and the main thing is the speaker covers with the lights so it looks like it has B&O.
I love my music but tbh when I’m driving I normally have talkSPORT on or talking or I’m listening to the engine
