I am waiting on my special order IS350, sports package only, and was just wondering. I tried to crank the stock sound sysytem on my test drive{s} to mask the constant droning comming from my sales people, but It didn't work.

I'm sure the 9 extra speakers from my current set up will sound pretty sweet though.
Does the IS350 REALLY feel that much faster than an IS250? Or does the Sports package REALLY improve the handling that much? It's a personal thing, man.

Absolutely. If it doesn't feel that much faster to you, I'd recommend you check yourself into the local hospital right away, as you must have slipped into a coma during the test drive.

Yes, the IS350 REALLY kicks the IS250's butt in performance, but that was not my question.

For listening to the radio, {standard FM}, IPOD and CD's {not surround sound DVD's}, will the ML audio completely blow away the standard system? I'm guessing NO.


JURWIN... thanks for the diagram. {Steering wheel is on the wrong side though. I can flip it upside down and hold it up to the light. }

This is kind of offtopic but related to the upgraded ML radio. Do you think the 300watts is sufficient, because the new camry has 440 and other similar cars have usually 400+ in their upgraded radios. Or is it not just about the wattage?
