I didn't realize that music storing waws availble in other countries. Ticks me off since my son-in-law always flaunts the recording ability on his Bose in his G37. I have the ML, and like stated above, I get DVD playing/viewing (when stopped), but no ability to store music while it plays. Using a thumb drive means recording the music from another device, not from the system in the car.

i don't understand Lexus logic in this at all. cars costing less than half the RX have USB and BT Audio.

its a simple programming thing, not even hardware. I dont know why they didnt include it seeing as how lower end cars have them, but this is lexus for you. No lexus has this capability except for the LS with ML. some things are just reserved for the flagship

In all fairness, I have a G37S and an RX350, and while my G37S does support recording music to the hard drive, I don't know that I'll ever use it. You can only record from an audio CD, not MP3s on any device (CD, DVD-R, USB device, iPod, etc.). Ripping any volume of audio CDs to my car's hard drive would take a long time. I'd rather just plug in my iPhone (or buy a dedicated iPod for the car) and call it a day. It's an interesting feature, but the grass isn't necessarily greener!

No, I don't play soccer!

I agree. It takes about 7 minutes to burn a CD into the hard drive on my parents' MKS. I can't imagine having to sit there and add my music collection that way. iPod is easy enough to connect/disconnect and has higher capacity. I'll stick with that. Heck, I'm happy Lexus finally added USB capability to the RX and took away the cassette tape.
