Hi there: Yes, I searched the forum (and looked at Lexus.com) but couldn't find an answer. Does the non-Mark Levinson (standard) audio system come with a cassette deck? And I'm assuming the ML system DOES come with a cassette deck? I have lots of tapes that I'm too lazy to transfer to CD so this might be a consideration as I'm trying to put together a deal on a new ES350.
Thanks
Thanks

There's a cassete deck in my ES w/ML and every other ES I've encountered with or without the ML.

This is getting interesting. The question was does a non ML lexus have a cassette deck and mine does not nor can I see one in the pictures I've looked at. The Mark Levinson without Nav does I believe have a cassette deck. I don't know about with Nav but don't think it does.

The cassette deck is available either with or without the ML audio package. It's up to the regional distributors to specify its inclusion. Depending on in which part of the US you live, cars in your area may or may not have the deck. In the DC/MD/VA area, it's included.

YotaCarFan may have solved this mystery. And that is one irritation with the Lexus distribution system. HID headlights which I wanted for example were not available in my area without NAV which I did not want. I do note though that if he is correct then they must even supply different owner's manuals in the different regions because my manual makes no reference to a cassette deck with the standard radio.

Right. My nav-equipped ES350 (non-ML) has the cassette player. The non-nav loaner I drove last week did not.
