Default Aftermarket Multimedia Unit for 2010 ES350 Recommendations

Hey guys. I got a 2010 ES and I wanted to replace the factory head unit with the gps/dvd screen with the most advanced techs to date but I still want to keep the normal In dash kit look. Any Suggestions on where to shop? I went to the custom audio place by my house but they said they couldn't help me with this year Lexus. Thanks!!

They are selling the factory gps units on eBay but I'm not sure if it would fit. I added factory nav on my 2002 es300 and would love to do the same for my 08. It was a lot of work when I did it but it came with the harness. The ones on eBay don't have harnesses and I'm not sure if these cars are pre wired,

The 2010 model year was the first year with the HD nav system which was a big improvement over the previous DVD based set up. I'm not sure how much new/different tech you'd get with an aftermarket unit. I guess you'd have to weigh the cost vs. what you'll get for the money.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I guess I meant any units preferably toward the 2012 would be great. I want the same original look as the factory. Preferably the actual high end factory with the woodgrain Lexus under the screen like the one below. I'm new to Lexus and don't know very much about any of this. Anything is appreciated.




I see a bunch without the Lexus in wood grain but I would really like this one exact.

You can always mod the installation kit. Nothing is impossible. I didn't care. I wanted it to match the rest of the dash, fit and sound better. All 3 of my goals were accomplished. I didn't need NAV since I like to use my Garmin but NAV shouldn't be any more difficult. It's just running an extra antenna wire.

Here's my install - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...-2007-a-2.html
