Can I swap out the navi system to newer year's?
I'm considering buying a 2014 CT, and it's navigation/entertainment system just looks ancient. Given how little CT changed between 2012 and 17 model years, has anybody though of swapping out the whole module with a newer year's model?

This is what I did. I said I wanted Navi, went in looked at a non Navi car. Negotiated on the fact that it didn't have Navi. Bought it without Navi and backup camera and installed my own with the savings.
I have a Kenwood dnx893s with all Kenwood stuff in it besides the JL audio sub. Kenwood xr900.5, xr1800p fronts, xr1800 rears, and JL audio sub 10tw1. All that is probably less than the up charges for the lousy factory Navi. Look on the face book group you'll see photos of several cars with aftermarket installed. My car probably the stealthiest system.

I did some Google searching when you first posted, but didn't really find what the actual differences are. Do you have any links or pics that show the difference between 2014 and 2017?

For example, starting 2016 CT has 3D navigation view and a different app set, and these features aren't available on older hardware.

The hardware is separated by generation. Based on the list of map updates, the latest one for CT is Gen8. http://www.lexusnavigation.com/what-to-order/
