Replacing the 07 es350 factory navigation with an aftermarket stereo
I've been searching for a while now and can't find anything on installing an aftermarket android head unit in a 2007 es 350 w/ nav. I can only find the ones without the factory nav. Does anyone know how i can do this or point me in the right direction? I can't find a dash kit for this model or if i even need a dash kit since mine already has the navigation. Thanks in advance!

In short impossible, move on and live without streaming Bluetooth. One crazy guy did it I remember reading his thread he sourced the hvac controls from a junkyard car and read a ton of electrical diagrams and spent a bunch of hours getting it all to work. He had allot of issues but I do think he finally got it to work. Is it worth all that trouble/money Not to me it isn’t!

I've installed two of these, be prepared to fight some issues. HAVOC "works" but degree settings are inaccurate. The first one I had (12.1 Android 6.1) had to be returned. Had H and L for Havoc, degrees was blacked out. My hand was the degree meter. Another issue, which just may kill this second unit is the charging of the phone. There is not enough juice (many articles about this) to the phone running a minimum of apps to keep it charged up, it's a slow drain. I'm going to try a Y cable booster and strong charger from the consoles lighter.
All that said and done, on a 2012 without NAV, this thing is nice. I may not keep it, still looking for fixes and alternatives. It does kill any satellite you might have, but I just switched to the app (it's cheaper and for every Sat Radio you have you get to run a copy of the app).
