I still haven't figured out how to really replace the vents though if you have an '08 or older IS250. The clips are different. Sounds like you have to jerry-rig it or something.
If anyone can provide details on how to actually replace the '06-'08 center vent with the newer style, I would appreciate it very much. I'm sitting on this unit because I haven't figure out exactly how to change those vents without having to modify something.

yes it is possible to do it because i did. nothing was wrong with my oem navi, i just wanted the flyaudio unit because of the dvd and usb features. although it is possible it will require some modding of 1 harness and adding an rca connector to the factory wiring to get the rear camera to work without running wires or replacing the factory cam. you probably will not find anyone on here other than me and one other person who has done the swap successfully, when i did mine i found some diagrams on here regarding the "adding navi to non navi vehicles" thread and its pretty much just reversing this process and buying a connector and retrofitting 1 harness. also there is a thread that i posted that shows what i did with pics. . i contacted the other member who had done this mod with never a response from him, and i had to figure it out by myself. so now im giving back so others with oem nav have an option if thier oem nav unit goes bad. if your not familiar with car audio and wiring, dont atempt this mod as you may cause some damage, always have a fellow CL member /buddy help you if he is experienced or take it to a car audio specialist.

Hey Xao, did you receive your item yet? Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, buy this unit from the other suppliers.. My buddy just bought this NAVI from the exact same supplier and encountered a lot of small annoying things..
Issues such as:
1. This supplier (Representative: Elaine) does not have much knowledge on this item at all. Every time you message regarding a issue or a question on the unit, she changes topics or replies with something that does not make sense at all. Example: When you ask her a question regarding an issue on the unit, she usually replies saying how this unit is a big hit or how well they are selling this unit...
They do not have any instructions on how to install the unit except with some pictures taken from one of their clients. Unlike LSQ Star (supplier that 07IS250AWD bought from) provides a detailed diagram of exactly where the back up camera should be installed etc. After knowing LSQ star provides a diagram, this supplier even asked us if they can have a copy...
2. The unit they sell comes with IGO8. Other suppliers all sell the unit with IGO Primo installed.. The issue with this is, IGO8 is known to have an issue with the time zones especially for cell phones.. When my buddy got his unit, the NAVI's time zone was always messed up by adding extra 8 hours. We kept changing it back to Pacific time but the GPS satellite wouldn't change at all. This affected the day and night shade in the background. During night time, the GPS is in daylight which causes the entire screen to be freaking bright. The IGO8 also messes with the unit's time zone as well. The unit itself has its own settings on time zone but sometimes the IGO8 program forces it to follow its own timing. Pretty much sometimes when you start the unit up, the unit's clock can be incorrect.. Solution to this is to install IGO PRIMO in a different mini SD card and input it in. You need to change some file's title to let it work 100%. With IGO primo, there are no issues with the time zones at all.
3. Not a big deal but lol, it doesn't have the OTHELLO game.. Just confused why this supplier is different from other suppliers but the unit itself came from the same manufacturer...
Hopefully my buddy won't mind me posting this on here but he had a struggle and was really stressed with the supplier.

Review on the unit.
1. There is clips on the bottom of the unit that meets the cd changer, u have to clip them off due to the clips dont match the 08 is250 cd changer clips as noted by a few club members.
2. My Unit did come with the othello game lol
3. Radio stations are off as noted by a few club members. (havent found a fix for this yet very annoying)
4. Unit works so far with not much issue.
5. It does indeed come with IGO 8 ( will be testing with IGO primo)
6. dont like the 24 hour clock but it may be a option to change it that i havent found.
7. Cant get the lexus symbol to show up on initial startup of the car.
**the AC vents were super annoying to clip down as 2 of them didnt clip down. Will include a guide in how to clip them down when i get some pictures of what causes the clips to not go down**
**the supplier responded fast on questions but the answers were just basic answers with no details, the suppliers seem like she has to check with the manufacture for some of the answers**
will review more when i get the chance to play with the navi system.

I think there was mention of a diagram regarding hooking up a reverse camera? I installed the Roadrover I got from Alibaba ($580) shipped, and everything works. Same issues about clock, etc, but the unit is a deal compared to F/A, I think. Can anyone help with back-up camera hookup? Thanks.

All you have to do is download igo primo and go to setup and set it up as new directory. Once that happen you will have igo primo as your navigation. However, I found that igo primo used a lot of memory which caused the system to not response sometime

Do you guys simply directly pay the the seller's paypal account? When click on the order, there's no price, and the seller said send payment to his email address ...
I'm trying to order from this link: http://szlsqstar.en.alibaba.com/prod...vd_player.html
Everyone said they just do wire it up to the reverse light wire so it gets power when in reverse to power the camera, and that would work ... not sure how it's routed to the back.
