Default Finding the ML amplifier

Hi everyone,

This morning, my audio system started to make very loud clicking and popping sounds until it eventually shuts off. I'd like to locate the Mark Levinson amplifier in order to verify that everything is fine (wires) and eventually check any issues inside if necessary (capacitors, etc.)
I've done few hours of search and unable to figure out the location of the ML amplifier in my Lexus IS350 F-Sport 2014. I did not start to tear the car appart yet, but I wich I won't need to do it and go directly to the correct location,

Thank you very much

Welcome to the forum.

The amp on the 3IS is located on the trunk floor on the right hand side. You will need to remove so paneling to access it.
That's the location regardless if you have ML or not.

Can you post a picture of your ML, in place, and the wiring to it?
I have the non-ML system and there’s some extra wiring connections behind the trim, so wondering if some of it is for the ML system.
