Can you tell me how to enable the digital clock? i just tried searching the 2014 GS350 PDF manual and i wasn't able to find anything that allows me to enable a digital clock in a GS350.

3) Non matching side view mirrors - the rest of the car is black, why are the mirrors grey ? even $20k cars have matching painted side view mirrors.

Reviving an old thread. Yes, indeed I asked at the 5k service if ASC could be permanently disabled, and I was told there is no LPS for this. I checked TIS, and it is true. The only hope would be to disconnect the speakers and put a 4 ohm resistor in place of the speakers. Just not sure how big a resistor I'd need - a 10w resistor would be pretty large but might be necessary depending on how much current they pump through those things.

I truly dislike this feature. If I wanted more cabin noise, I'd buy an aftermarket exhaust.

FWIW, the LSC has an acoustic tube to funnel intake noise to the interior of the car. If I end up buying one of them, I'll be permanently blocking that tube for sure.

None of the GS4 models have a digital clock. Get used to analog time!
