I made a parts list for the installation hardware for my 2005 Ls430 without nav or ML unit. All these parts can be bought on Amazon and with Prime membership get 2 day free shipping.
$12 - #40-LX10 Antenna Adapter
$10 - #44-EC204 Antenna Extension
$48 - #TYTO-01 Amplifier Integration Interface
$70 - Total
I was going to give these parts to the installer so I didn't have to wait or pay marked up prices. I believe there still needs to be some splicing done but I that is why I would pay the installer. Bestbuy has a $70 charge for installation and you can buy a 4 yr warranty on parts and labor.
$115 - Clarion CX305 2-Din Receiver

the dvd function is disabled expect when the car is in Parking. DVD's have other capabilities than watching movies
Car crash movies are obsolete - I can watch them on a daily basis in rush-hour traffic

I have an appointment in 2 weeks to have an aftermarket receiver installed in my LS430. I will update with pictures.
I will be installing a Sony WX-GT90BT receiver with Sirius/XM capability. I'm not certain how the Lexus will be able to get wired for Sirius.

I upgraded my whole system in my LS430 w/Navi, I ripped out the ML system and installed everything new.
Pioneer AVH-X4700BS (7" screen)
MVA-24L by Beat-Sonic (Believe there is a way to mirror DVD with factory Navi- I haven't done it yet)
4 - 6.5 two speakers
1 - 12" loaded subwoofer
These 5 speakers blows the doors off the 9 speaker ML system!!!!! Took me a lot of time and if I had to do it again.... I would in a heartbeat!
I remembered that I paid $344 out the door for the Beat-Sonic kit, the company gave me a $15 coupon because I backed out of the order and then he call/emailed me offering the coupon to complete the buying process. I guess they needed my business and worked out in my favor.
Hope this helps

I used JBL GX602 6.5- compared these side by side with Alpine SPR-60's, JBL's had more clarity for a smaller price tag. Plus the JBL's have a 180w RMS peak power.
Loaded subwoofer is a box with a amplifier already built-in.
I have a 4 channel amplifier powering the (4) 6.5's plugging into the headunit. ML amplifier is out of the car and not in use.
Hope this helps Semar
