Mine doesn't have it either. I really wanted it, but despite my dealer having more than 5 to choose from, none had ML.
The dealer said they don't like ordering cars with it because it is a 3000-dollar option.
Which seemed really stupid to me considering that they always order navigation, which really makes ML a 1,000-dollar option.

I pointed that out to my dealer, and he wasn't really able to come back with anything. I don't get it, but they definitely seem to not like ordering it, at least on the RC-F.

I created this thread for non audiophiles like you claiming there's no difference.

For those who chose a non ML, you can always go with aftermarket which will always sound much better as you can have dedicated amps and DSP.

This. I do have a GS350 w/o ML and it is a decent system but ML is much better/cleaner sound...and louder, of course.

I have the stock audio system, which is fine with me since I basically only use the Sirius channels. However, if I played CD's or other systems that were truly "high fidelity", I would of added the ML system. For me, the extra bucks for the ML system is not worth it when listening to Sirius. Yes, ML is better than stock when listening to Sirius, (extra speakers help), but that much better for the bucks needed to add the ML option.

You're right, satellite radio is like 98kbps or below so quality is pretty much like listening to a tin can. And yeah, definitely not worth it. What I do is if you have spotify premium, use the offline mode by downloading your playlist (320kbps) and it sounds much better than satellite radio, cost might be almost the same (I don't know the montly rates for satellite radio).

I'll chime in with everyone else. I maxxed out my RC F with all available packages to include the ML audio. Honestly, I'm not altering my audio. The ML has clean, crisp sound and more than enough speakers to immerse you in your favorite driving music.
