Default First Lexus Woot

Yo.. new here. Just got my first Lexus yesterday.. 2012 IS 250. Got it for a steal too the dealership that had it was a Ford and they had no idea about the Lexus packages. The car has the premium package but they had it listed as the standard car.

Anyway.. It has the dvd and nav already and i know theres not many aftermarket headunits that will fit in the car. But will and amp and subs connect to the the lexus in dash? The sound system is awesome but the bass could use a boost IMO.

30,232 miles

28,925 after all taxes fees and tags. They got the car in Tuesday and I was literally getting a Subaru BRZ today but the IS was my first choice I just couldnt find one near me in the part of Florida I am in.. also had to have it in black so that made it even hard to find it. I went to look at the car wednesday and bought it thursday.

When the salesman told me it had standard options I immediately got a boner wondering what the price was cause I knew it wasnt standard options.

Is there a mod for 2012 to have dvd play while driving? I see some for third gens and 1st..

Unless you have ML you can't play DVD's. I have a little switch I might be getting rid off soon though to bypass the system while driving. No wire cutting necessary!

Nice!

Of course you can hook up an aftermarket amp and sub, with a line out converter, you can hook it up to any car.

I am running a JL 100/1 and two 10w6 subs

Great choice! I like the color and the five-spoke rims.

is sound coming from the middle speaker? I believe that even non ML cars had that grille but it was just empty underneath. It should have an ML logo underneath the disc slot if it was really an ML
