Installing navigation on ES 350
I do not have navigation installed in my 2009 ES 350. I have been doing research on the best way to add it and most of what I've read says not to do it. I am wondering if I purchase the factory navigation unit from a salvage yard, which I have found for $350 out of an 09 ES 350, can I install it into my car? If so would I need additional hardware or will it plug into my car by taking out the existing unti and just replacing it with the navagation one? If anyone has advice for me I would grealty appreciate it. I don't want to purchase it then find out it can not be installed. I know the Flyradio is an option as well. And I would need an antenna.

It may be as simple as a plug-and-play swap, or maybe not! Since the NAV head unit controls the radio & HVAC systems in addition to NAV, the plugs on the back may be different.
I would try & do much more research before I dropped $350 on something that might not be returnable.

As has correctly been stated above, there are a lot more electronics involved than just the head unit.
Even with the killer deal on the head unit, I think the safest bet is to go with an after market unit.
If you're still determined to go all Lexus, make sure to check out the wiring involved via https://techinfo.toyota.com for $15 for a two-day window.

GO AFTERMARKET!!!! It's not as hard as everyone makes it sound, plus if u plan to upgrade your speakers aftermarket is the way to go. I added my link to my aftermarket NAV install but there are plenty of good threads on here that will save you time, money and headaches.
