Bronco should just have a cold weather package available for all trims like jeep.

I was just thinking the same thingIve been considering going up to the lux package and just going with the 2.3 engine to save money
Agreed.This is one thing I've hated about the auto industry...how you are forced into these high packages for one or two features.
It’s the only [COMMODITY CONSTRAINED] item on my build. I’m essentially paying $2300 for a heated steering wheel. I’m asking my high end audio guy if there’s benefit (or cost) to the B&O system since I plan to upgrade it. Need to do some soul searching and see if I can’t get my smooth brain back down to High Package. That’s it. That’s the entire post.
Not at all. It depends on how "custom" you're talking. If you're just adding an amplifier, replacing the factory speakers with same-sized higher-quality units (factory speakers are crap, as we all know) and an off-the-shelf subwoofer that doesn't need custom enclosure fabrication (I assume we'll see some good aftermarket options for the Bronco), you're likely well under $500 in labor (at least in my area). You have to know exactly what you want and possibly source your own components to get the best deals. The audio shops love customers that come in with no clue and just say "Please upgrade the audio on my $50k+ vehicle." Of course they'll be happy to take you for a ride if you let them.I've seen this sort of comment many times on the forums, but it's divorced from reality.
I'll believe it when I see it. When you're done upgrading your system, come back here and post the invoices for the install labor costs and all of the components you bought, including amp, speakers and sub.Not at all.

Can a audio shop add a wireless charger? Most in this area seem to add everything else to a car so maybe they can do that as well? Is the compartment in the Bronco still there where the charger would go if you don't get lux?The main reason I would want the lux package is the wireless phone charger. It really should be part of the mid package. Why offer wireless android auto/Apple CarPlay on all trims standard but make you get the top of the line package to get a wireless charger?
I just spent about $1600 upgrading Wrangler audio. That was replacing 4 factory 6.5" speakers with Memphis. Small Kicker amp powering them and a Pioneer 8" hideaway powered sub. That price also included an Alpine head unit with car play. It sounds amazing!Im in the same boat. I love audio, so the B&O would be great. I know that the standard 6 speakers won't cut it, and the difference from high to lux im questioning how much an install would be anyway if I did it somewhere else.
Do you guys have any insight on a rough guestimate of how much an upgraded stereo would be? And how easy would it even be to tie into sync 4. Add an amp and a sub.?
The way i see it, the wireless charger and the heated steeting wheel are just a plus
Can't your dealer just order a heated steering wheel and install it for you? What could it cost $250-350 tops?It’s the only [COMMODITY CONSTRAINED] item on my build.

Just drive from between the front seatsI am of the age where if Ford offered an automatic ball scratcher I would pay.
I found a wireless phone charging pad on Amazon $24. I'm going to give it a try.The main reason I would want the lux package is the wireless phone charger.
