Mark Levinson sound system specs (w/out Nav)
 

I've had my 2019 ES 350 f-sport for 3 weeks now and I love it. One upgrade that is a must on all of my vehicles is the sound system. I haven't had much luck locating the exact specs of the ML 10 speaker system. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance!

The ML audio system is only available in combination with the navigation system.

Even if you could add the ML system after the fact, I'm sure that it would be quite expensive to do so. If you really feel a need to upgrade your audio system, I suspect that a better alternative would be to consider a 3rd party after-market system.

My apologies, let me clarify. I'm looking to add an aftermarket sound system. I already have the ML system in my car but want to know what size speakers are currently in the vehicle. On the ML official website, there is information about the 17-speaker sound system but no information on the 10 speaker ML system I currently have. Also, the website states the front doors have an 8x9 speaker which seems larger than what I have in my vehicle.

The salesman at the dealership said the ML w/nav had 17 speakers and w/out nav came with 10 speakers. Is this information not correct?

I've had bad experiences in the past taking my vehicle to car audio shops without doing some research beforehand on what type of speakers I want to install.

I'm leaning towards a Focal 6.5" 3-way component set for the front and I read this car doesn't have traditional rear deck speakers. I have already purchased subwoofers, sub amplifier, capacitor, and digital processor since that will go in the trunk.

Wait, are you sure you have a ML? Is it listed on your window sticker?

I just went out to my car to grab the sticker and noticed under installed options it does say ML 17 speaker sound system. Under standard equipment, it says 10 speaker Lexus premium sound system. I think that's why I was given the wrong information.

That makes more sense, but I think you have a unicorn. I've not seen a late gen ES with ML and no nav. Did you special order?

Not to my knowledge but it was the only Ultrasonic blue with Circuit Red interior in a 100-mile radius at the time of purchase. I called many dealerships in my area and they all confirmed it was the only one.

That confuses me, too. I just went to the Lexus website and checked the "build" options. For a 2019 ES, whether it be an UL, F-Sport, or other level, the only options available for getting the ML system are to combine it with the navigation system.

I checked the inventory for a few dealerships in my area and they all have a few vehicles that offer the ML system without the Nav. Just so you guys know and are up to date :thumbup:

2019 ES 350 Non Nav ML specs
 

I had no idea that the ML system was available without Nav. Here are some specifications for
the option, this is one of four (4) configurations, two we all knew about, Display Audio wo/ ML,
Navigation w/ML and the other outlier...Navigation wo/ML. Note that our thread topic has an
8" screen not the 12" of a Nav car.

I don't understand why someone would pay for the Mark Levinson system just to pull it out and replace it with aftermarket equipment.

Well, simply because my priority was the exterior and interior color. As mentioned previously, this combination was the only one in a 100-mile radius. I didn't want the Blind Spot Monitor either but while looking at the F-sport models it seems Lexus automatically adds that option. That's just how the cookie crumbles.

How about a picture of this one of a kind ML without Nav ?
