That's actually a great idea. Perhaps when I should purchase the radio from the ad and try swapping both and see what happens. I don't see why they would go so far as to have the marrying done at a hardware level.

 

ive got the same issue and I’m from Canada as well saw the same ad just wanted to see if you went ahead and ordered the unit and if it worked for you if it did I’ll be ordering mine tomorrow

 

Hello Aransingh,
I have not pulled the trigger on this yet. I havent found one I have been confident in. I did see on another post that some members were trying to reach out to Lexus corporate to get them to fix the radio for them. One member had been successful, the other I am not sure yet.

 

I am having the same issue in 2023. I have a 2014 IS350 with faceplate P10436. It's been impossible to find the same faceplate online and the dealer here in Canada is asking for $4K to replace the unit. Anyone have luck swapping the radio with a different plate number?

 

hey man you mind sharing what you have done
