I feel for you as I was not able to get the HK upgrade and thought the base stereo sounded pretty crappy especially with Sirius satellite due to all the compression. Looking around on the forum there seemed to be some options like the Alpine amp and speakers combo that you could buy in Europe and ship to the U.S. There are also some pretty cool options from http://www.bavariansoundwerks.com/ . You could also try searching for audio upgrades and I'm sure you will find something to suit your needs.

At the end of the day I think I will hold off until http://www.bavariansoundwerks.com/ comes up with something for my particular year and model. It should end up looking OEM and improve the sound quite a bit. I also understand that I am not going end up with ear shattering volume or spleen rupturing bass which is ok with me. Don't really need that to enjoy my Pink Floyd

As for recommending a stereo guy - sorry but I don't really know of any one. Let us know what you end up doing and if you find someone reputable for the install.
