Default Aftermarket headunits

Hey, Has anyone had any experiences with an aftermarket headunit in a 2014 IS. I haven't been able to find any information on it.

Cheers
Josh

It's not possible without redoing the entire enter console ... The screen and controls are completely separate and intergraded into the center console. Where would you even put a new head unit?

It'd would be difficult to say the least.

I wouldnt say it's impossible, but the factory unit is integrated with the display, the console controls and even the steering wheel controls. You'd most likely lose all that functionality unless the aftermarket unit supports CAN-Bus integration or can be 'hacked' to work with it.
