That's what I turned off through the OBD2. I couldn't discern any difference.

Kinda new here… has anyone compared the base Pioneer system to the ML system. I found an older article from 17’ that said Pioneer developed special speakers just for this car.

tbh I have not seen a single LC without the ML spec, I would venture they are exceedingly rare.

I ordered mine with base system…. hopefully I’ll be listening to the engine and exhaust more than the stereo.

Never ever use Bluetooth regardless if it's Wireless Apple Play.
Always use the Lexus provided USB cable.
Else, all the Lossless will be gone, sub muted, treble is high pitched & scratchy

I received a text today from the dealer, estimated dealer arrival April 20 to May 20. I’ll take pictures of the build sheet kind of thing with the Vin and the options. But there’s one out on the West Coast of yellow coupe with just the dynamic handling pack, black interior and a couple little accessories.

……my mistake toasted like the one I ordered. I found it if my car was going to be tariffed.

Profit for the dealer or distributor, that's what it is lol. SET charges $75 for a set of cables and a 12v charger you can get on Amazon for $5.

My generic USB cable doesn't make the icon in the Media accessible. I'm wondering if that's the difference between the Lexus cable which may have something embedded in the cable. Though the generic cable does charge the phone. Really doesn't matter as Bluetooth sounds good enough for me. I just wanted to compare.

The one you have may not be a data capable USB, only power delivery. The Lexus one is likely both, but any similar cable would also suffice. I also just use wireless AA for media, no need for cables around here to get the job done!

So I think I found a solution to this bass issue with certain songs. There's a website called https://audioalter.com and you can upload your songs and boost the bass. You have some control over how much you boost it and I can confirm it works really well. It's inconvenient if you have a lot of songs you want to tweak, but I only had a few old rock songs and they sounds great now.

I discovered today that I have a speaker out on the drivers door low. Need to have it checked out.
