Been looking at swapping out my jog controller in my 2014 lexus is350 f sport with the navigation package & ML. I was wondering if anyone has ever done a swap to the lower end dial controller. The reason I am interested in doing this is because I think it looks better and I want to upgrade to an aftermarket infotainment screen and it seems as though these screens work considerably better with the dial controller compared to the jog controller. I dont see any reason why this wouldnt work but I thought to ask since I bet someone on here has to tried to do this at some point or another.

I really like the joystick(jog), but to each his own.
I recently got the Lexion CarPlay unit and larger screen, and it all works great with my joystick.

Two different input methods. Do we have any evidence that the ****/dial actually works with the different multimedia system?

Did you find out if it worked because I’ve been looking around to do the same thing

The **** = non-Navigation
The Jog (joystick) - w/ Factory Navigation.

The two are NOT interchangeable. different communcation BUS signals. The respective stereos are very different between the Non-Navi and Navi; User functionality, hardware and wiring.
