Hi Folks - -
I am about to purchase a 2010 Lexus ES 350 and it doesn't have CarPlay (too old). I can see that the stereo and Nav are tightly integrated as custom piece. Is there any way to add Car Play functionality? This is a Non-Mark Levinson audio system. Is there possibly some sort of AUX Input, where I could connect my iPhone through a cable?

Probably a dumb question, but us old geezers tend to do that! Thanks in advance for any help!

No. And welcome to CL, but please try some searching as this has been asked many times and there are several threads regarding the audio system.
Just use the search term carplay and you will learn all about the challenges.

My 2007 has a AUX input in the glovebox, not sure if it's still there for the 2010 models, maybe you can get a long cable and a phone mount?

There is a product called Grom VLine or there abouts.. its a fairly epensive unit that allows you to keep everything stock but provide an option to use Carplay / Apple Play or whatever. Probably ~600-1k installed after buying the unit. It's impressive as you can still use the current infotainment but are just a button press away from using Carplay
