Default How many ISx50 owners got ML?

Yes, it's another poll (don't kill me you poll haters out there ) but I was just curious to see how many ISx50 owners got ML when they bought their car. And if you did get it, how are you liking/disliking it so far?

I really love mine so far because everyone's just blown away at how awesome the system sounds. It'd be even more awesome if I did the NAV hack but I'm too chicken to risk voiding my warranty.

I like it, but wish it had more bass and a bit louder. I haven't had that amp problem yet, but am a bit worried about it since i do listen at 25+ levels.

I'm sure that everyone is sick of me *****ing that Lexus doesn't offer ML in the northeast regional allocations, so I'll refrain from doing it this time. Needless to say, I'd have have bought it if it had been available.

Now you've got me going again... , did you have to rub it in....

Awwww I'm sorry Bichon...I've read all over the forums about how it's not available where you are. I don't get why Lexus did that. I mean, it makes absolutely no sense to make something available for everyone else but not certain regions. I feel your pain.

I got it.

I may not be an audiophile to truly appreciate the supremacy of the ML system compared to the stock system (it does sound better in a general comparison), but I do like the added bonus of a DVD player tied to the Nav system. That itself is worth the ML upgrade...

I have it too and love it. I can't really compare it to the stock system because I haven't heard the stock one in over 7 months when I test drove it.... But I haven't had any amp issues either, and I'm at 40-50 levels everyday.

I have never heard the ML before. So I don't know what it is like.. Is it really that much better?

But to tell the truth I dont think there is any upgrade that I would say no too...

Got it, and I love every single minute of the Mark Levinson system. I'm very glad that I didn't opt it out. The DVD playback feature alone is worth the money for me. I looove it

I got ML and love it.
BTW I live in the northeast.
The only downside was that I had to wait 4.5 months to get it.

I would rather have lexus switch back over to nakamichi. ML is a good overall system.

Yes i got it and i'm so glad i did. Boy does it sound great! I'm not a radio head but it suits my purpose. Now if only sirius would hurry up and get the receiver out then i'll be even happier with my stereo system.

6 months? Wow, he flat out lied to you.

Does anyone have any information on the amp issues that supposedly exist with ML?
