Default Navigation installation question?

I have a 2007 IS350 without Nav. I might have an opportunity to buy a practically new complete Nav and stereo unit out of a 2006 IS350. Anyone know if that will work or who I can contact about potential pitt falls? Thanks...

yep, I believe it involves different harnesses and is a complicated task that's more $$$ than its worth. Not a simple plug and play unfortunately.

I believe you'll lose functionality of the bluetooth, rear view camera, and a few other things like voice command i think.

Thanks to those who commented. I will do some more research but it sounds like a tough road ahead!

He is in CA somewhere... perhaps you can pay him to do it for you(if you are close enough). Make your offer high
