Default How to know if 2005 RX330 AWD has air suspension

I guess its time for replacing my rear struts and mounts.
How will I know if my 2005 RX330 has air suspension or not?
What is the normal cost to replace these at dealer, at toyota dealer or outside?
Is it worth going for lexus dealer.

Thanks

There will be an air suspension button just to the left of the cigarette lighter.

I donot see any button left of the cigar lighter except the one to swipe the headlamp washer. Do this enough to conclude that its a not an air suspension??

Pictures of the three buttons for air suspension. It was only available as part of the performance package.

Yep...That means you don't have air suspension.

I'm curious, what does that button next to the power door button do?

It lowers the car when you park to make it easier to get in and out.

^^ That's it. The RX lowers automatically when you turn if off anyway so it's not really needed. And it's less than an inch between the highest and lowest settings IIRC. I never used it.
