Default ES 350 Dashboard removal

Hello everyone,

I have found an android Operation System for the screen on my ES 350 with no GPS. So in order for me to install it, I need to get behind the center panel. I have done that in my previous car it was easy thanks to a lot of videos on Youtube. But since this is a new generation I couldn't find a clear video or any instruction pictures to help me.


Is there any way to get a tutorial for how to remove it? Video or pictures.

P.S: For people who are asking why do I need this. Believe me, Android OS gives you a lot of useful features compared to the stupid current system. and you can easily switch between them.

Were you able to swap out the screen? If so, what screen did you get?

Good luck trying that .. That's basically ripping the entire front dash off with hundreds of clips that may break

I agree with both of you, but probably the only way to install aftermarket head unit.

That guy is actually a top neurosurgeon who replaces Lexus infotainment systems for a fun hobby.

Came across this because I'm considering installing grom vline and need to remove the radio but feel like half of the things removed in the video above was completely unnecessary?
