But its odd, I did get heated & ventilated seats which means I should have the package that comes the HID with rain sensing wipes. So there im confused because that is not a standalone option and only other package it comes with is NAV. And I double checked this with different sources.
More interesting the window sticker says single disc player with 12 speaker premium system...however it should come with an in-dash 6 disc changer. And to be honest I haven't seen any written info on disc changing so far inside the car..but haven't really looked in detail as well.
Now I am trying to figure out what I do actually have in this car.
corrado: I grew up in Toronto actually...where about are you? In another way, packaging is so much easier in Canada, either it comes with it or it doesnt...they don't add random options.

As far as the CD player is concerned, I didn't think any of the '13 or '14 RXs had changers. Mine is a '13 with Mark Levinson, and even that is a single CD player.

According to the Lexus web site, on the Features page under "Individual Options" you will see that you can get the heated/ventilated seats as a stand alone option, for $640. So it doesn't have to come in a package. I suspect this is what you have.

The options and packages on Lexus and the information on the site can be a little bit more than confusing.
I think they're all moving away from CD changers, as it's easier to just stream from your phone or use Pandora or a USB stick.

I have been using USB thus far, but you are totally right - all the information for the 12 Speaker premium system points to a 6 disc changer. And a single disc for 9 speaker system.
Always have to double check the dealer and options their vehicle order comes in with...I just completely snoozed various things considering having previously owned an Acura, all I did was get the Tech Package and had everything. It was pretty clear with the TL. No factory or individual gimmics. As well walking into Lexus you hear all but good things from friends.

No, I don't play soccer!
The confusion over packages is probably one of the reasons I went the special order route, to ensure I got exactly what I wanted That was after canceling an earlier RXh. I found out it was not equipped with some of features I wanted. It took me at least a month before I felt comfortable enough to place the order.
My 450h has the 6-CD changer, ML too. But I paid dearly for it compared to what it costs now. I remember talking to my sales guy after Lexus switched to single CD. I said it would've been nice if Lexus added a hard drive in its place. He said he was going to recommend it, saying they ask for suggestions. I'm probably the only person that doesn't like streaming music.

No, you aren't the only one. I have no iPad, iPhone or iTablet. Just an old, cheap flip-type cell phone. No streaming of any kind as I don't need to. We listen to SirriusXM radio in the cars since we are in a radio dead zone, where the only radio stations play country-western or right-wing talk.
I'm with both of you, no streaming. I prefer managing and playing my music on physical media - CDs

I still enjoy the CD's but glad to be able to stream music from Spotify as we don't get satellite radio here. I also don't have the Nav system since we are a one road Island,kinda hard to get lost.
