I used a Grom unit in my GS3 57 plate with ML.

Thanks. Have since installed a Grom, which works pretty good, though there's a significant volume drop. Is yours noticeably lower in volume compared to the system CD player?

Would still be interested in updating the actual unit though. The display in my 2007 IS250's ML is a considerable improvement. Did your 07 ML have an Aux In?

Cheers. 

Yes, I have tried two dealerships. One of which couldn't help, the other said they would endeavour to find out.

And yes... I tried Google. Thanks for your helpful suggestion though.

Hi,

Would it be possible to update my 2005 GS300's Mark Levinson Stereo with a unit from post 2008, which would presumably give me the option of an Aux In, or even USB from post 2010? Graphics seem considerably better on the newer models too.

Or is there a Grom option that is confirmed to work with the ML units? There seems to be some conflicting information.

Thanks.

Looking at the large screen navigation options for the MK3 GS 450h which on Aliexpress are referred to as 'Tesla style' 🤨

Has anyone installed one of these? 

Mainly looking at these 2 variants

Wouldn't get anything with less than 4GB RAM and someone mentioned that the OEM rear view camera can be connected too (signal wires have to be soldered but should be straight forward). 

However got a few questions:

- Do these come with any apps that can still display the Energy Monitor info and Park Assist (front/rear sensors)?

- I'm not clear about the amplifier output: does the OEM head unit have a built-in Amplifier?

Or is just sending pre-amp audio signal to the dedicated Mark Levinson amplifier in the back?

If that's the case the Chinese navs would come with Preamp Out only or are they meant to bypass the ML amplifier in the booth, connecting the car speakers to some poor-quality built-in amp?

Hi Georg,

Did you end up doing this, or have any of your questions addressed somewhere?

Cheers.

Have just installed this into my 2007 IS with no problems whatsoever. Battery didn't require disconnection.
