Default Replacing 07 Navi unit with 2010+ navi?

Hi guys, i'm new here. I just purchased an 07 gs 350 AWD (works great in the MN snow, wish i could afford an LS 460 AWD though). I knew the 2007 didn't have bluetooth audio playback, just voice calling prior to making my purchase. I was wondering if you guys know, can I replace the 07 navi unit (plug and play?) with a navi unit from a newer lexus that supports Bluetooth Audio Streaming/A2DP? And will everything work fine after that swap? Or will I need special harnesses/plates/adapters or some kind of password code for the new navi unit? I plan on buying one, then selling mine, hopefully with as little loss of money as possible.
Thanks for any input!

Buy a blackberry bluetooth gateway and call it a day. This is one of the solutions that the majority uses, Thats if you main concern is to stream music thru bluetooth.

Nope - Any phone with bluetooth will be able to pair
