Hello Lexus group,
I am in the market for a 2013 to 2015 GS350. I would prefer the ML upgrade. Dealers/sellers frequently are generic regarding the used car options.

Is there an easy way to tell from pics if its ML or not?

Same question regarding the rear wheel dynamic steering option?

Thanks in advance

ML logo on the radio.

No ML logo means no ML.

Wow. super fast reponse. Thanks.

You would not happen to have pic of what that looks like?

Kooper

I have not had any luck just looking online.

It literally says Mark Levinson on it.

Kooper

Great Thanks. I do not see that tag in too many cars I am looking at thus far. I guess there are not too many out there..


Is it worth it?

Doctj

definitely worth it but not a deal breaker if that makes sense

Kooper

So this is a No? Cd slot looks different. Do all model years badge the radio?

Thanks Everyone

^^ Correct. No ML in that one.

Kooper

Thanks.
How about dynamic rear steering? Is there an easy way to identify that as well. I did find in a post a picture of what to look for under the vehicle but frequently dealers do not take good pics of the underside.

I do not think it is a deal breaker either way (although i would love to hear anyones thoughts/opinions) but it would be nice to know.

Thanks in advance

On the GS350, I believe the rear steering is only available on the F Sport RWD. It's not a common addition, so frankly, I'd assume it doesn't have it unless proven otherwise.

Mark Levinson is just a more powerful OEM amplifier.
There are far more powerful, cleaner, yet cheaper amplifiers available aftermarket.
Don't forget that most audiophiles would tell you to upgrade your speakers first, before upgrading your amplifier.

Kooper

I was under the impression that the package also increased the number of speakers in the car. Is that correct?

Here are the speaker layouts for the 2018 GS 350, first page is the 12 speaker and pages 2 & 3 shows the ML.
Note: some locations actually have two (2) speakers totaling 17. ML systems have Pioneer speakers
