Asl; What Does It Do...any Advantages?
I own a 06 GS300 without Nav. When listening to the radio or cd's, there is a function on the display screen where you can change speaker preferences from front to back and vice versa. Next to the icon on the left, there is a function called "ASL". What is it's function? Does it change sound quality?

IMO, the ASL doesn't work that well. it really only gets louder with speed, like it's tied to the speedometer or something. a long time ago the dealer was trying to tell me if i was at a stoplight and a jackhammer started up from construction, the sound would get louder. i also got the roll your window down explanation, but in my experience with ASL for 7 yrs now on 6 diff Lexuses, neither of the types of "environmental" sounds are accounted for. only speed.
