Just picked up a 2025 ST and some questions

[WWLD]

This is correct for Job 2 builds.

Also, they broke out the sunroof, stereo, and massage seats to the optional sun and sound package.

So if you do not choose the Sun and Sound package, do you get the 10 speaker B&O system? Does it sound much different from the 14 speaker system? Thx

I have no idea what the sound difference is, you'd have to go listen at a dealer. I have a job1 with the 14 speakers and they sound really good.

WWLD: We ended up with the NO "Sun and Sound Package" by accident on our 2025 (mfg 12/5/24). It was the only one of the dealer ordered incoming vehicles that did NOT have a Sunroof (which I did definitely did NOT want). As for a B&O System, yes I have one, but not as many speakers. The system was NOT listed on the Window Sticker as an Option nor was it listed in the Interior portion as standard equipment. Neither I nor my Sales Associate knew a B & O system was on it till it arrived at the dealer. As for the quality of sound, my wife says what we have is more than good enough especially when one of us has hearing aids!!

My 2025 was built last year before the "Sun & Sound" package was a thing apparently, but the person who special ordered it opted for the panoramic moon roof and the 14-speaker B&O audio system (that person did not take the vehicle after it arrived). For me as an older guy, and definitely no audiophile, I think this system sounds pretty good and better than the Bose system in the 2019 Mazda CX-9 GT I traded in for the ST.

There are some other posts on this site that say this system isn't really made by B&O but rather is just a licensing agreement with Ford and uses Ford speakers. The B&O website acknowledges their collaboration with Ford and gives the impression that their hardware is onboard, again, I'm no expert. Judging the quality of any audio system is a subjective thing and to each their own at the end of the day.
