Ebay 2013 OEM Navigation: why is it different than all others?

the back side looks like this:

to my understanding, oem are suppose to look like this

Does anyone know why the big difference?
Thanks

Is it really a Nav unit or just the Non Nav radio head unit?

I believe the top picture is the GEN 7 unit for 2013 cars, and the bottom picture is the GEN 6 unit for 2010-2012.

Are you sure? The table on Lexus' website shows that the 2009 IS250/350 is GEN 5 DVD.

Completely a typo on my part. 2010 is when it changed to the Gen 6 (and also added USB input and BT-Audio to all models).
