Many owners have also posted their satisfaction with Mark Levinson systemas well. I have read arguments on both sides. Most seem to like it quite well. It really needs a good input source to shine it's brightest IMO.
I do not have any info at this time of the head unit being manufactured by a different company. The way I understand is that Harman is the parent company of ML and is also the parent company of several other high end brands. When you stop and think about this subject for a moment, regardless of who actually manufactures the components, Mark Levinson has put his name/stamp of approval on this system. The ML company has obviously worked closely with someone( maybe even in house) to manufacture parts to put his name on and is confident in their ability. Lexus standard system is the premier sound system and is made by Pioneer. I wonder if Pioneer is actually manufacturing that head unit? Might be farming it out, might not. What were you interested in getting to the bottom of Crazee and why?
upgrading is easy, but will be very costly. kind of defeat the purpose of having ML system in the first place.
I got a TV/Navi Kit bypass that works great and I would recomend it to anyone that wants to be able to use the Nav system and phone to it's fullest while the vehicle is in motion. I bought it on Ebay, just do a search and it should pop up. I chose to buy this instead of cut/splice wires the way some posts here and CL show the bypass. I decided on this because I can always remove it without a problem.
seems to me one would still have to cut some wires to install a bypass.
Check your PM. I sent you a link.
