Default Radio Upgrade

Hi! I'm looking for new android car stereo and want to install Seicane car stereo in my 2011 es350. How to install it? Is it difficult to install this by myself or to ask the professional to help?

I am too looking into this audio upgrade and it seems not too many options available for lexus es350. Either with a new plastic looking template to use with brand name after market head units or one of units mentioned above. The plastic template remove the chrome pieces really in my opinion make the whole audio area less less elegance looking. With 2 units mentioned above, it looks and sound nice on paper but the system itself is based on android 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 which is way too outdated (probably near 6-7 years ago i think) that would potentially give us a problems with bluetooth or phone pairing compatibility. And for sure these company almost never on update their software so once you buy it that's it.

Is there any ES350 owner who has any Tesla Unit installed? Or anyone who have tried it and failed?

^^^ Sounds way to cheap for a stereo nav unit. It does look interesting though, but I would have to see one installed to believe this price.

Have a phoenix android audio unit in my GS. Best purchase I've ever made for the car.

The phoenix one does not include an AM/FM radio, but the Seicane does. I wonder if the phoenix guys will get that version. Biggest question for me is will this thing last for more than a year. Otherwise this is an expensive change to do every so many months.
