Thanks brett. Like i said man the car is well worth the wait. Hope everyting works out for you.

 

What is that circle in the rear door panel (about even with the window control), but towards the front? Is that a new speaker location? Is it a tweeter only? Or coaxial speaker with mid range and tweeter ? The 2001 - 2003 ML system didn't have this... Does it do much for the sound when your sitting in the front, as the rears are mostly for fill.

Is that a radar detector or cell phone on your dash. If it's a detector are you going to make it's home on your dash or are you looking for a better location? I've mounted one above (see here).

P.S. Nice color combo, just like my '02 but my Bordeaux Bird's-Eye maple wood is a bit darker.

 

Congrats hitman,

Did you manage to transfer your phonebook from your mobile via bluetooth - if so any tips?

Klaus

 

VideoNavi, yes that is a rader detector on my dashboard. I had to move it over a lil bit so that it didnt interfere with the gps to the nav. And I couldnt put it up there below the rearview beacsue they are illegal for on base travel. And to answer your question about the circle in the doorpannel yes it is a new speaker location it is only a coaxial. I cant really hear it when im driving but when your in the back it sounds good.

klausl, I dont have the integrated phone i just use my own it saves me headaches. Thanks for your replys guys.

 

Congrats on the car man....It has crossed my mind several times to pull the tirgger on an 04 LS and sell my GS. I just look at how much $$$ I have into my GS and it kills me...maybe next year I will pull the trigger but I just love my GS so so much...

 

I have noticed that the laser cruise device looks different than my LS430 any one know? the 2001 to 2003 are clear and this is black no see throught someone let me know

 

Congratulations. The '04 is slammin'. When I get tired of my GS I will look into it.

 

What base? Air Force I assume?

 

Brett I also have a black / black on order in Chicago. I was told 3-6 weeks.Dealer said only 2 with sport pkg in country and dealers will not give them up. I was hoping to have for my daughters wedding but I guess it will not make it. At least Ill have it for #2 daughters wedding in June.

 

2003LS430 , no its not air force its Marine actually. Camp Giger. (in the Camp Lejenue area) for those of you who dont know where that is its in jacksonville nc. thanks for the replys keep em commin.

lexusls430, the laser cruise is diffrent. Now its only rader and not laser. Not really much differance if you ask me.

 

congrats... vewy vewy vewy beautiful car...

 

NO yours is still laser just to let you know. IT just isnt a clear lense. And actually there is really no difference.

 

Great photos. The car needs a pinstripe, however, in my humble opinion. Mine was $45 and it added much value to the look.

 

Guess i gotta break out the book that I barely touched. But ill let you know the outcome of the whole laser/rader cruise confusion if im wrong then hey i can accept that not a biggie. I just wanna find out for myself. Thanks for all your compliments guys. keepem commin

 

pinestriping doesnt seem like a bad idea good call.
