All of the buttons work, you retain every button you have rite now.

I use the buttons so rarely it's never bothered me. The mouse pad unit is hard to get centered perfectly so sometimes to reach the very top right corner with the mouse I need to force it a bit but again maybe once every 6 months I need to touch the mouse. I mainly use the volume control, radio button, and media button that does everything I need.

Back to the arm rest. To make this fit you will need to actually dremel away some plastic of your center console. No worries however even after doing this the OEM 14' gen console will still fit back in. You just need to trim some fat to make room for the new leather wrist wrest.

I do not have any nice photo's of it installed in my car. My interior is an incomplete project so I have kept photo's to a minimum. I'll be finishing things this spring however.

Here's a crap photo of my 2014 IS350 with the 17'+ console.
Any reason for that long USB cable being exposed?, if its a dash-cam cable you can feed it under the console directly to the storage bin so no one sees it without ripping anything out. My pics here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...m-install.html.

Default Center Cup holder/navi console.

I completed this on my 2014 IS250. It was pretty easy to do because of a video by Rodney Au on youtube. Everything works except the back button. Hardest part is finding the console to swap with. I was really,really,lucky and found one on a website. The whole center console for 100 dollars...

Thats a steal. I got mine for $190 but before the dealer shipped the shifter, mouse and unit under the mouse all went missing. He said he realized he undersold the unit because it typically goes for $450 he told me. I think he just took it out thinking I'll back out. Did you get yours on ebay?
