Default Replacement Navigation Solutions

Are there options for replacing the navigation system for our vehicles? I know the two dash kits do not support cars with navigation. Does anyone have experience with the Phoenix Tesla dash system or other options with CarPlay support? Phoenix does have CarPlay support as demonstrated in the below videos.

I too am interested in replacing my unit. I just bought a 2013 IS250 with no Nav/camera or any multimedia. It came with the standard audio system. We should crowd source our information.

I have replaced the head unit, non-navi, in my 2010 IS350C. I used the PX6 system from RhinoRadio as the system currently offered by Phoenix was an older chipset. That being said I don’t have much good to say about the head unit. Currently, the Rhino version comes with AppleCarPlay installed, but it’s buggy. If you make a call it reverts to Bluetooth and overlays the call information on whatever screen you have open in CarPlay. I have had no success getting this changed. Rhino’s customer services is the worst. I have called Phoenix and asked if I could pay them for support, but they declined. Radio reception is terrible and the steering wheel buttons don’t work while using CarPlay.

From the stuff I seen on here, most guys with non-stock NAV are getting the Tesla Screens like this https://ebay.to/2YUMdPd.
If I didn't have factory NAV I would give this a shot for the $500.
