Default 07 ES Replace OEM Navigation ?

so I have been debating about this for a while but I have decided that I do want to research and find the best option to replace my factory navigation unit.
I am wondering what the options are for this I know this has been talked about before and most people have decided its just too much trouble sometimes to replace the OEM navigations because of all the integrated options built into the system.
Are there any aftermarket kits that are going to allow me to keep the on-screen controls for the HVAC and ac and heating climate controls?
and the factory speaker and mice for the phone calls? One of the things having me look into this is because there are no more new updates for the factory navigation coming out for out gen ES in 07

There’s one person that did it if you search for it you’ll find it. He had a ton of trouble getting it to work, he retrofitted the base hvac controls and then installed a aftermarket radio. He had to read allot of electrical schematics for the base and the Navi model, he also did allot of soldering. Ran into a ton of issues but finally got it to work if I remember correctly. My advice would be use Waze on your phone and get a cellphone holder

I did some more searching online and came across a united called android Tesla Style that is made customized for our cars its a full size screen just like tesla cars have and everything is integrated and it works off of all the aps on the phone so it does not have build in GPS but it has built in apps and software that will mirror the phones its not that exspensive and for 699 it is somethign i am thinking about going with
