I suspect that the 4,000+ mile round-trip drive to Los Angeles from Alabama every time they want to work on your car would get old fast.

And a 6,000+ mile round-trip from Alberta would get old even faster.

Will the unit work with the OEM Steering wheel controls? Ive been looking for a solution for awhile. I have all my speakers switched out with Focal K2. Tuning the system through the OEM nav is such a hassle, It would be so much easier with an aftermarket deck
Test vehicle details has been updated in addition to the product descriptions. Please take a look

Please see original post for the update. The bottom trim pieces will be included as a full stereo replacement kit for your Lexus IS.

Unfortunately, we are only looking for cars that are local to Southern California as the engineer from Japan will need to be working on the vehicle.

>> 2009 IS350 w/ Nav non ML
Although, we cannot promise now, we are planning on retaining the use of the OEM Steering wheel controls with the aftermarket headunit.
We will be coming out with the Stereo Replacement kits for the Non DVD/NAV owners as well. We do not need those vehicles as we have already secured them
