If an order was accepted to have HK in it most likely it will be there. there was most likely a rather large buffer of HK systems in hand to cover any order even well after it was removed from option listing.

Well I guess we'll see. I ordered last Friday. Had no indication this might be an issue. Had the order printed to make sure I knew what I paid for. Of course that just says "premium package". Who would imagine the goal post would be changed mid game. I paid the old price for the package with HK. Even when I called today my dealer guy had no clue what I was talking about. I don't think he was the sharpest tool in the shed, but I wiuld hope this would be a major thing at a dealership. I am afraid they are just going to take off the price difference (if that) and assume that makes me satisfied. The fact that I am paying top dollar for a car with a car rental stereo in it is just a major unsat to me. An 800 dollar compensation does not fix that.
Confirmation that my order went through today with a $750 price reduction due to HK change to standard.
