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.

i was going to purchase this for retro fit... i guess that's a no go

2006-09 is Gen 5 DVD-based
2010-12 is Gen 6 HDD-based
2013 is Gen 7 HDD-based

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).
