Big job probably not worth the effort given fibre optic cables that need to be retrofitted as well as an amp and speakers etc. You can buy a convertor to overcome that, but what's the benefit of that if you're chasing better sound?

I'd bet you'd be better off upgrading to a good amp and better speakers in the aftermarket. The HK system is good, but you'd probably spend less and get a better outcome with a good aftermarket system built to suit you and your car. You just need to find someone who knows what they're doing.
