What are the main differences between an car with ML audio and one without. I can't really seem to find much out. I have asked the dealers and some of them seem clueless, but tell me 'this one has the ML audio, or this one does not have the ML audio, sorry'.
Can somebody lay down the differences for me?

for ML, it's only from 01 up. it completely blows away the stock pioneer system. the easiest way to see if that there is a center speaker in the miffle of the dash facing up. also there is a ML badge on the tweeter covers i believe. and of course you see the ML logo on the head unit

from my experience...the ML system is really clean for a stock system....the ls430 with the ML was prolly the best sound system I've heard soo far...but then again...if your are planning to do a full audio system upgrade...you have much more potential going with quality aftermarket products
pros for the ML system: clarity, power, low distortion, etc

Thanks again. Next question then, what do you guys think the ML system is cost wise? I am looking at 2 01 430's non Nav, one with 28k miles and one with 32k miles. One BLK one WHT, the one with 28k miles has ML and they want 33k. The other one is 32k miles CPO asd non NAV, non ML for 32k What do you guys think? Should I spend the extra grand and get the ML or should I get the Non ML but CPO?
