Here's how it works: Harman/Kardon (an American audio specialist company) owns German electronics company Becker. Becker makes the audio systems in almost all German autos*. They make the cheap low end crap and the high end system in the Maybach, the quality varies by what the car companies order. They put the Harman/Kardon names on some of the premium systems, which have better-tuned amps and equalizers, and usually more speakers and other features like better Bluetooth support. Since the tuning on premium systems is done per car, and the features are custom to the auto maker's requests, no two car audio systems are really the same even though they are all Harman-Becker products.
* Even the overpriced Bose system in some Audis is made by Becker. Bose just tunes the amp.
