Default JDM dash

Did any of the US cars have this speaker/whatever part at the top of the center console ?

Im not to familiar with the 1st gens, but that speaker is for the ML sound system. So if the 1st gens had the option of the ML, then yes?

Its the centre speaker for the Fujitsu Ten sound system in the JDM model.

There is a switch on the system which is kinda like Pro Logic and brings the vocals to the centre. The button is labeled 'SE' I am guessing 'Surrond Enhance' or something similar.

That threw a spanner in the works then, didn't it?!?!

Mines a 1994 Gen 1 and has that speaker on the dash.

But my car hasn't got the "SE" button on the stereo. And what is ML?

I presume your car isnt USDM ? ML is Mark Levinson. The premier sound system

Yeah, mine isnt USDM, but a UK spec car. Right hand drive and the stereo just says Lexus on it. But i do know that the top speaker does actually work.
