I got a 2006 IS350, I'm thinking about buying an OEM 2010-2012 Nav and replacing my current 2006 one with it. I mainly just want bluetooth and better voice commands. Does anyone know if this is possible? Has anyone here tried this or have a link to a thread where this was done? Pictures of a finished product even?

I'd bet that will not work because Lexus/Toyota radios are year specific. If you already have a NAV radio for your 2006 you are better served looking at something like a grom V2.

I looked into it a long time ago when I first bought my car, there is way too much wiring work involved + the cost/time of the new HU makes it simply not worth it.

I wouldn't bother worrying about voice commands unless you have something that supports Siri or Google Assistant, which I believe you'd need Grom's Vline for Carplay/Android Auto. If you don't care about carplay/aa, you can just get their BT3 module. I personally went with the BT3 module as I got tired of the wires. BT quality is fine on it. You can use it with the car's existing bluetooth so the end call/answer call buttons will still work, you just have to make sure your phone is connected to the car first then connect to the grom module.

i was planning on picking up the newer nav and paying an electrician to figure it out, if it didnt work they could always put the old one back in, and i could send back the newer one back. if it failed i wouldn't be out of that much money, but if it did work it would be history in the making

Hate to break it to you, but the "voice commands" in my 2011 system at least are so extremely lacking that I never use them.

I don’t know how to post to here but my Lexus RX 300 is kicking the knock sensor code and Oil control valve code I replaced all of them and it’s still kicking the code it sounds like there is a leak on the valve somewhere between the gas tank and engine. Has anyone ever experienced this isssue?
