Is the navigation screen from a 2006 350 a simple swap (plug/play) with an 2004?

It looks like it could be but then looks can be deceiving.

What are you trying to do, update the DVD or swap out the navigation unit itself for another type?

Actually thinking of upgrade from a non navigation to navigation.

I found a gen5 unit and considering the possibility.

If you found a Generation 5 it had to come for a 2007 RX350 or greater. I am not an expert on this navigation stuff, but I think I have read on this forum that you cannot use a Generation 5 system with the RX330. You might want to consider aftermarket.

That would be interesting, document it with pics if you end up doing it.

If this unit truly came from a 2006 model year, then it was an RX330 not a 350. The RX330 used navigation generations 2 through 4. You might want to talk to a Lexus dealer to find compatibility with your 2004 model.

Interestingly enough would bluetooth work with an upgraded unit (for those RX330's that didn't come factory delivered with bluetooth, i.e. 2005+). I wouldn't see how it would work given that the steering controls aren't there (of course you could always change the steering wheel).

The 2004 RX330 did not come with bluetooth so that might complicate things a bit too. I'd go aftermarket like Rainbird said.
