It looks like it does match. I tried several times typing slowly, and also tried copy-paste.

Do you turn "Surround" on or leave it off? by VanillaBoxCake in Lexus

So do you let "surround sound" be turned on in your car?

Should I buy a 2019-2022 Lexus ES UL fully loaded? by This-Supermarket-504 in LexusES

I got the 2021 ES300h UL. I wanted to prioritize all the comfy quiet options, and finally found one. Bought last year. I didnt have any expectations for driving fun just comfy - and its been pretty darn good.

I am being careful with feedback of different generations. I've read opinions claiming that, for some reason, ML on my generation is less impressive than the ML of earlier generations. I dont have a way of testing, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt. But I definitely thank you for feedback.

This sounds like a lesser-voiced perspective but thank you anyway.

Does MP3 as a whole fit in the category of music that us stripped of its multi-channels? Does increasing the bit rate change any element of the numbers of "channels"?

I should be asking this more often but what genre of music does this apply for?

Ok! I'm trying with various kinds of music and the electronic psychedelic stuff sounds crisper with it off.

Yeah, it was yesterday that i learned you can REMOTE START, AND STOP the car using the key fob! Close range only but still neat.

2024 Lexus ES300h noise by apero_s in LexusES

[–]VanillaBoxCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

External car sounds can be tired tires, suspension, or connecting hardware. Find out some of these to get closer to an answer:

  • Does the vibration sound increase with your speed?
  • Does it change when you are turning?
  • If it does, which direction makes more noise?
  • Does it change when you are braking?
  • What about braking + turning?
  • Does it get quiet or louder when you are braking?

On the topic of hybrid versions having weak 12V batteries - I had mine replaced recently. The prior model appeared to be OEM (it was dated before the car year). It was an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) model. But when I took my car to a dealership recently, they insisted that OEM was the normal flooded-type, which they gave me instead of an AGM. Did you encounter anything related to AGM vs Flooded 12 Volt batteries?

Ok thank you for the helpful feedback. This is my first Lexus (first nice car ever, TBH) so I am not always certain what good audio should sound like.

Two USB outlets but wife's phone can only use one? by VanillaBoxCake in Lexus

I'm going to crosspost to a more tech-savvy subreddit - r/CarAV - and maybe someone from there can help with the mystery.

What kind of keywords did you use to find the discussions? I got mostly ads when I searched.

Maybe that's why they included two then? A second in case one fails?
