I went from being disappointed to loving the Mark Levinson in my 2026 LC 500 convertible

I received my cloudburst gray vert in the middle of June and was initially disappointed with the ML audio. I have a 2020 GX460 with the ML sounds great. I assumed it would be the same in the LC but I was very wrong. I tried the AmazonMusic app (one month trial), and wired and Bluetooth CarPlay connections but nothing sounded good. I didn't know what to think and chalked it up to the cabin being so much smaller than the GX. I turned on the auto sound leveler (noticed a big positive difference), ticked up the treble and base a little, and moved back the balance two ticks to the rear. I ended up connecting to CarPlay via Bluetooth due to the hassle of of a wired connection and was resigned to it not sounding great either way. Last week I noticed it was sounding much better. Then this morning I went on a drive on a beautiful Saturday morning and the sound was almost as good as in the GX. I am wondering if the speakers need a break-in period or maybe my ears are used to the sound now. Either way I am very happy with the sound. Anyone else experience this?

Picked up my 2026 LC 500 convertible almost two weeks ago. What are some of the things that current LC 500 owners wish they knew to do right away (like set up a custom drive mode) that they figured out after a few weeks/months/years of ownership?

For context, here's my post from the day before picking it up from the dealership Picking up this baby tomorrow!

Thanks everybody for the great advice and tips! I love how helpful and encouraging this sub is.

Funny story—I have never been up close or heard an LC 500 in the wild. I've see three or four from a distance, but have seen many (many) YouTube videos :)
