Exactly. I've not encountered a system so prone to distortion before.
I've also played with the fader and it does add a little depth (or at least diminish the tweeter-heavy dash output) but agree that is a bit like listening to a stereo from another room, it lacks detail and soundstage.
That's interesting, and I'm glad yours performs well. In my Sept '25 Luxury+, the bass handling is severely compromised over my other vehicles (including a '17 GS350 w/ML that sounds amazing) and my home hi-fi setups. If I play any modern bass-heavy music via Poweramp on my phone, the front...
That's my workaround right now, although it's in the music app I use to listen to my own FLAC/MP3 files (Poweramp). Same idea, and it does offer some improvement, although it's a bit tricky in that the GX ML system seems to be very sensitive to low frequencies due to the way it's designed and...
I've been wondering about this as well. My cursory look through the settings menu didn't reveal a default layout option, but my '17 GS350 does maintain your choice of map orientation.

This thread seems to indicate that most GX trims have double-paned glass in the front doors, with the apparent exception of the Overtrail. So it does look like the Overtrail+ has double-paned front side glass.

New to the forum and just going through this thread - if you touch the compass on the factory nav it'll switch through north up, map rotation, and an oblique (3D-ish) view. It appears to reset every time I get in the car and I haven't found a menu setting underneath to set the default view...
Similar thoughts on my September-build Luxury+ that was delivered last week. I'm withholding too much judgement as I did experience a very similar acclimatization to my '17 GS350 ML system, with notable differences.
For reference, I'm a hi-fi enthusiast with multiple high-end stereo setups at...
Thanks. Yep, Lexus of Tulsa. A two month wait would have been incredible.
Agreed, great dealer for both of my purchases there. Zero tricks in the process and helpful staff.
Hi everyone - new GX550 owner here in Oklahoma. I put my name on my local dealer's list for a GX550 Luxury+ in March of 2024 and just took delivery this week, never imagined the wait would be so long. We went with Nori Green and saddle interior. It is the second Lexus in our fleet (our 2017...
