Default Upgrading factory Navigation IS 350

I’m wanting to upgrade the stock navigation system in my 2011 IS 350

i want to get a system that has Apple car play and more apps etc

i know the Vline product. Has anyone swapped out factory navigation or suggestions of what to do and/or aftermarket systems?

Is this something you're looking for?

Ebay Andriod unit. TOP-NAVI was the seller they actually had fast shipping and decent customer service. There are known issues such as airbag light and speakers not working correctly. **Neither of those happened to me** $600 CAD.

^I hate to be picky, but was there no way to have that aftermarket unit align correctly with the upper vents there? That just looks blah.

Sorry about your dash damage there.

It fits nicely with a 09+ vent. air (adjuster dials are in the middle)

My Lexus is an 08 (side dials)
(

Called a couple junkyards and they wanted like 50 bucks for the vent.
I reckon I will live with it.

Otherwise the screen works perfect.

^Ah, that makes sense.

Sucks about not finding the matching console vents. I did a quick eBay search myself and nothing under $70 came up.

For $50, I would upgrade to not have to look at the gap. I got a brand new OEM vent for $180 at the time because it annoyed me enough
