It's not that simple. You would have to change the seats also, since the cars that came equipped with seat heaters had heating elements enclosed in the seats and backrests.

If you noticed, the guy that started this thread has only one post! He probably doesn't own or owned an LS, and he just posted to start negative feelings towards the ES350. He most likely will not return to this site. He might work for a competing manufacturer. :chairshot: LOL

Feds :chairshot: Jail

Great! I wouldn't worry about a Lexus factory remanufactured transmission, and the fact that it's being done under warranty, even better. The ball is now in their park. ;)

Amazing!!!

How did you accomplish this? Maybe the fact that you did this hack affected the operation of the GPS system?? Why don't you bring the car into your dealer and have them check out this problem? How long has this Wal-Mart been at this location? Reason being, if the DVD Nav disc was produced before this retailer was located there, it won't be included in the information displayed on your NAV screen.

Are you sure that you have the proper zone set?

Don't buy belt dressing......buy new belts! It's cheap insurance. ;)

If you can't get any satisfaction from your dealer, then the next step is to call Lexus Corporation's Customer Satisfaction at 800-255-3987, and put in a formal complaint.

LOL

This is NOT an option on the Lexus Security System. :(

If your Motorola Razr was supplied by Verizon, I don't think it can be done. I tried with an LG phone and I couldn't do this. I had to put each entry in manually. Verizon locks their phones. :(

Dr. Steve Seuss....LOL

My friend used Vonage for awhile and liked it, but he went back to Verizon because he got a good deal on his home phone service(local & long distance) and also his cellphone service.

I know that this is what they say in the blurbs about the features in the ML System, but you should also realize that this copy is written by advertising agency people to impress the majority, and not directed to audio people who understand a bit more about the nuances of circuit design. In other words....they might be oversimplifying the true operation of ASL. I will try to contact some of my friends who actually designed the circuits in the ML system soon and then report back.

If it changed the dynamics of the system to compensate for ambient noise, they'd talk about that as a feature of the system. It very clearly says the system compensates for ambient sound by raising the volume. I definitely will contact the designers of the Mark Levinson System to get a more detailed explanation of the ASL's circuitry as used in Lexus vehicles. The description you supplied in your post is a little too vague......probably because you're dealing with the masses who wouldn't understand the technical details unless they were an advanced audiophile. ;)

When I said metal fatigue, I meant in the moving parts of the water pump, NOT the housing, and instead of "pictures can be deceiving", I should have also said, "looks are deceiving". :whistles:

Pictures can be deceiving, since they don't show metal fatigue or the failing composition of a timing belt. That's why Lexus uses a mileage of 90K to replace these parts......sort of like insurance. :)

So in other words.......you no longer have an !Removed!? hehehe

Why? The Mark Levinson system is a very sophisticated piece of audio equipment. I wouldn't be surprised at all. :)

I concur, ASL = Automatic Sound Leveling. The volume is automatically raised or lowered according to ambient sound levels. It does not affect the equalization at all. ;) Hey guy's.....In defense of what member Jon E O hears, are you certain that the Mark Levinson does NOT use any type of EQ in the ASL portion of their sound control? I say this because I did work on some of the largest Disco sound systems in the New York....namely "Studio 54" for one, which did use "Acoustic Voicing", which DOES use modified EQ curves depending on volume. Even some pre-amps use or used "Loudness Controls" in it's simplest forms to boost the bottom or top ends of the frequency spectrum, or both at lower volumes to compensate for normal hearing losses. Like I said in my above post, the only way to be sure that the ASL is anything more than just a plain old volume control circuit is to use test equipment to verify it.

Maybe this will answer some of your questions: http://www.dreammoods.com/

Hmm....I never noticed any equalization difference using the ASL or not, but there is a difference in volume. The next time I get a chance I'll put in a calibration CD with my sound level meter and check whether the ML system uses some sort of EQ in their ASL compensation.
