Upgraded Navigation Unit from 2006 non-ML to 2011 Nav Unit
I currently own a 2006 IS250 AWD (2IS) with a non-Mark Levinson Navigation Unit. The unit is great but is somewhat outdated. I use the aux cord to play my music from my iPhone and cannot input steering wheel/stereo unit controls to skip songs--I know, it is first world problems but I would like the convenience. What I want to do is to add Bluetooth music connectivity and I understand that newer units have the capability and maybe even the ability to use USB flash drives.
My questions are:
1) Has anyone successfully completed a swap from old to new and able to use the new one without issues? -- OR able to direct me to a detailed thread with pictures and descriptions.
2) Also am I able to upgrade to ML system if possible? This isn't a priority but would be nice to upgrade to anyways. DVD option would be nice.
3) Am I able to use my factory connections and plug and play without making a lot of wire cutting?
Any assistance on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey there X36BLU,
I saw you did a non navi upgrade on your is250. I recently purchased one off ebay and did not do any research before what i got myself into. I did not know there were missing harness wires and antenna required for the install. How were you able to manage to install this? Anything tips/advice would help.. I went over to my local lexus dealership and would not touch it. Thanks
