Default Is it a Mark Levinson?

How can I tell if a 2010 LS 460 has the Mark Levinson unit? I don't have any paperwork on the car. The speaker grilles are marked Lexus Premium Audio. Thanks.

The radio would have the ML logo (clearly spelled out). I believe the middle speakers would have a tweeter in additional to the regular round speaker where the premium audio only has the 1 round speaker).

A 2010 should have the "Mark Levinson" logo toward the bottom center of the front facia on the radio itself. If your speaker grills say Lexus Premium Audio, I'm 99% sure it's not ML. That is the designation for the middle grade audio system which is a Pioneer Elite.

It must be the Pioneer then. Thanks.

Another easy way to tell is if it has the small tweeter speaker on the passenger door upper trim area.
