Default Huh?

What is a GX350? It's in your signature.

I have the non-ML system in my GX and I think it sounds pretty awesome as is! The bass is much better than I expected, not even sure I need to do the usual immediate subwoofer installation I do on every new car. If I had to nitpick, the only think I don't like about the GX is the way the proximity sensors freak out whenever it snows and they get even minimally smeared with snow or ice. But I'm really nitpicking here, I mean, I just came from an Audi that had carbon buildup requiring removal of the head gasket from the block to fix, within the first 20,000 km of ownership. So in reality, nothing to really complain about

I had the ML system in both the 1st gen and now our 2nd gen GX and have to say I was never impressed with either. The LS ML system (at least the 07-09 model years) is much more impressive as is the LX although not as much as the LS. I'm a little disappointed with the GX ML system and can only wonder how bad the regular audio system is.

I was worried about how the ML stereo would sound in such a large vehicle, but my concerns were alleviate with the first listen. The stereo sounds great! With that said, I do believe Lexus has drastically improved the non-ML stereo to the point to where the ML stereo is not as "premium" as it used to be.

First off let me say that I do not have ML in my GX but I do have it in my 2010 GS and I tired to find it in the 2014 that I just purchased and nobody had one. I was told that I would have to order the car if I wanted ML. I was then told that the radio's were greatly improved and the base radio in the 14 was as good as the 10 ML. Going back and fourth between vehicles I will tell you that there is a difference but it is a minor difference between both cars. I haven't heard a 14 ML in the same car to compare it to but between the 10 and 14 I'm not disappointed in the non ML radio.

I think they've improved the ML in the 2014 model. I had the ML in my 2010 GX 460 as well. I thought you had to purchase a Luxury model to get the ML? I know you have the luxury model and so do I, but I didn't have to special order mine, it was the first one into the dealership, but I told them what I wanted ahead of time and they were able to get one allocated on their first shipment.

I have the ML in the 14' GX. Its nice. However, I find the source to be the big difference on sound. Regular FM is horrible, HD is much better. I'm not a big fan of satellite, and find it to be rather tinny. The Pandora and IHeart work great. The Bluetooth is pretty good as well. I also think the 06'ML in my LS sounds better, especially if the source is digital music from phone.

Craig B: nice title change on thread as well.
