Just fyi, audio quality on Sirius is awful, terrible, horrible. Very overcompressed. Bit rates in the 60KB/s typically vs 128K-192KB for typical mp3s or higher that you can get with Spotify or TIDAL. I won't even touch the XM trial on this vehicle.
Right? The 23 GX has amazing sound. I think people like us who have both understand the difference
They are keeping my car and will check the speakers, but they did recommend turning the Auto Sound Leveling off + not using Surround Sound option. It did get a little better. The sub is that lower speaker in the back tailgate, which wasn't making any noise when I showed them.
Keep me posted! And tell them there are many of us with the same problemThey are keeping my car and will check the speakers, but they did recommend turning the Auto Sound Leveling off + not using Surround Sound option. It did get a little better. The sub is that lower speaker in the back tailgate, which wasn't making any noise when I showed them.
If they can't fix, I want to see about potentially adding a sub in the rear side storage compartment.
Well, not my favorite news. Dealer said all speakers are working as designed. They did help me mess with the settings where I would have never guessed would have improved the overall sound. I also made them give me the speaker map, so that others can see where each is located, etc. At this point, I would give the ML upgrade a 5-6 out of 10 score. I am having another call with Lexus Corp support Monday and will report my issues with their design.
Good job! Can’t wait to hear what corporate says because that’s where I was going to go.
Thanks for sharing, any comments on the settings?
Shut surround off and levelizer
Curious, if you set any/all fade settings all the way to the back what happens?
Well this is just not making any sense and I think Lexus needs to address this. According to the speaker map you posted, it looks like there are supposed to be working low range speakers in the rear door panels AND a working subwoofer in the rear hatch. Both are non-existent in my OT+ and my dealership also told me everything is working as designed.
They are trying to make us seem crazy. I have a 2014 GX and the 2024 GX side by side you can tell the difference in the sound systems. The 2014 is way better with subwoofers and the 2024 seems to have no sub woofers
Is it me, or am I only counting 18 speakers (instead of 21) across both of these maps?
The "A" dots are two speakers each (1.6 cm tweeter + 9 cm midrange). Total adds up to 21.
My overtrail+ with ML matches what is on this diagram. There are only two speakers in the back doors. There is no sound coming from the third speaker area down low in the door that doesn’t have the ML cover treatment on it. I believe those are only used for the non-ML setup. It would be nice if they were supposed to be working though.
While I think the ML sounds good, I wouldn’t pay for it as an upgrade. It’s nowhere near as good as the stock stereo and my wife’s Tesla model Y.
I just came back from the dealership and they removed the rear door panels and showed me the "dummy" speakers in the bottom set of speakers in the rear doors. They claim that this is how it is supposed to be and said that another Lux+ with ML also had the same setup. The speaker map shows that they are speakers in that location.
