Default ML audio

I know this will probably go no where but I would buy an NX450h+ in a heartbeat if I could get a decent audio system in it. I currently own a 3rd generation RX (2011 450h) and I've test driven the NX. I would REALLY like a smaller version of my current car. So... question: Why does Lexus of Canada offer the NX 450h+ with Mark Levinson (executive package) but not the US????

The market in Canada is much smaller, supplying that market is much easier than supplying the US market. It may come soon, just don't know when. All markets have different configurations like the US still don't get the adaptive triple beam lights even when you are allowed after they pass the law.

I have the Triple Beam Headlights w/Washers and Cornering Lamps on my 450H+.

What is "adaptive triple beam lights"?

Hmmmm, interesting. Just went and looked at my headlights. Yep, there are only 3 lights. Looks like it's ready for a fourth light as it looks like a blank but no luck, just a black piece of plastic.

My 2023 US (Japanese) 450H+ Base does not have ML. The sound is mediocre at best. I just purchased a pair of Kicker 47KSC3504 to replace the Corner Dash factory speakers. Hopefully it will clear things up a bit.

@SgtLip, let me know how those Kicker 47KSC3504 work out. It appears installing it should be easy enough that it could be worth it. I found highs and mids are fine, and just installed a Kicker 46HS10 as discussed here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/nx-...acement-2.html.
