[QUOTE=dphennis;10178196]LOL that guys build cost like $20,000. His head unit alone is $1,500. ill keep you guys posted on the progress.
the head unit is cost is not a problem although I would not use Sony I just wanted to know if it’s can be done and it looks like a nav screen above. And if not I’ll buy audio control 810 not a problem at all.

. I have had no errors with any factory electronics, and the system sounds great. I love it.

Yes you can. I have a 2007 LS460, and my local shop removed the factory amp, installed a Kenwood DDX9904S Double DIN head unit that does CarPlay and Android audio, removed the Mark Levinson amp in the back on the right side, replaced it with two smaller Rockford Fosgate digital amps that are extremely small, and are using the factory Levinson speakers, and it sounds great. My HVAC, factory GPS, factory back up camera, and any information that needs to come through the system like I received a notice for my air filter replacement the other day, everything works with no issues.

All I want to know is that is there any special things that the audio expert should do ? Because my of 07 has a blown ML amp and I need to replace it. So the oem nav has no control over the audio right ? Its all trough the double din u head unit ? also the sound balance and equalizer is all through the end double din head unit tight ?

My next alterations will be a facelift to the Lexus, and since I own a carbon fiber business also the wood is going byebye. I liked it at first, but I am thinking a nice 2X2 twill carbon fiber with real copper threads in it will look nicely in the interior while still keeping the Lexus luxury look to the interior of the car.
