Ive found a few shops around the area so I'll check it out before I head over to Lexus. ^^^^^ good idea I'll inquire about that.

This is typical of a car that has been MODDED by a previous owner, always a tell tale sign to stay away! That many spots in the dash, that head unit has been taken out many times.

Yeah that's what it looks like but the car is completely stock no signs of other mods done to the car or mods then put back to stock done. I'm thinking maybe they tried to hack the navi or something.

I think that somebody just got fed up with the pop-corn popping in the vents. This person just decided to take a pick and try to correct this crackleing sound in there. Does your car make that sound once in a while? If not, maybe it was corrected. At least you have one less issue out of your worries.
