Non-Nav cars only have a choice to turn ASL on or off...no variable settings like high or low.

My Non-Nav car has ASL choices of Off, Low, Mid, and Hi.

In case it makes any difference, my audio system is Type B (Owner's Manual pages 291-2).

It does make a difference, see page 321.

I've never really cared for the ASL feature. It works ok if you drive with the windows down. It will help to compensate for the wind noise.

Yep, my 2007 non-nav has the same ASL choices.

First you go to the Audio screen.

Then you touch the DSP button, which will bring up the ASL choices.

The ASL on any Toyota or Lexus I've owned hasn't been very effective.

Thanks for clarifying, Fuzzy! It looks as though the JBL (Type A) is either "on" or "off", however, the Type B has a range of choices.

Navi only has on or off option. And I turned it off and didn't notice anything different to when it was on. I really noticed it going highway to non-highway in the GEN II we rented for the weekend (package #2) but I hear NOTHING on mine!
Maybe it's a more gradual raise/decline so I don't notice it?!? I am disappointed that I can't tell it's on cause I thought that feature was great!
Guess I'll play around a bit more with my other sound settings and see if I can tell any difference.

Thanks for all the comments. :-)
