Vehicles equipped with premium Mark Levinson stereo may experience no sound or volume that goes to maximum level by itself. An improved amplifier is available to rectify this problem.

    Premium ML audio with nav. At first sound from audio system (radio, cd, cassette) was intermittant. WOuld work then fail. Now off all the time. Lexus link warning messages and recorder work fine.

    The volume drops at intermittent times. By turning up the volume I can hear the music but it is muffled. Turning off the car and restarting solves the problem for a little while. No fix at this time. Researching the problem now as the cost of a new amplifier is too high at over $1500.
