I use it to play my many DVD Audio disks. Best sound quality there is. Plus I have DVD in motion for when my son rides with me. :-)

A CD player is the best sounding version of music you can listen to. Ask any audiophile. For like a car, you know?

front end looks nerfed.

they should’ve refreshed the front end like the 2017 is350’s, “square-ish / boxy” look, or cut the RX350’s front end and paste it to this RC.

Took a few pics from the Miami International Auto Show. I noticed that the RC has fog lights (or cornering lights) in the false vents on the front bumper. They are the tiniest lights I've ever seen on a vehicle!

Be sure that, in 8 month, Meraki Autoworks will write here that he has it. Probably made by Nia Design.

Let's see, but it would be a very basic thing to create.

Does this have a designated turn signal? If not, it's a downgrade. The turn signal should be it's own bulb. Don't like watching cars with DRL and when using the turn signal, the car looks like it's winking.
