Yea, I really wish this were a simple retrofit. Not even sure how possible this is, there’s another thread floating around the forum somewhere.

More importantly, IMO, is that the NAV and UI themselves have been redone, works much better in many ways. Better trackpad too....

The plugs are different and whole user interface has changed. Even if the screen was plug and play, it would display all weird I would think.

Question For Realz??

Please explain further?
Are you showing the Nav Screen there on a RCF?
Or, is that of another Model?
In my research I found method of enabling Android Play into the car (Which includes some disassembly) which would be a good time to do this "Retro Fit" you show.

Its the new Nav on the 2018 RCF. Here's a few more screen shots, you can see how the menu setup has changed:

The new RC-Fs come with the bigger nav screen, not sure what year they started, 2017 or 2018. I sure hope VAISTECH or someone comes up with a way to replace the older ones with this new bigger screen. EDIT: what CT6978 said!

Does anyone have an idea of what cluld possibly be required to update the version of Lexus enform we have, is it as simple as updating via a disk or something the dealer would have to do? Just a bit curious. I guess it wouldn’t matter though assuming a portion of the harness is different?

*edit
Wow, the newer interface and bigger screen ct6978 posted look great. I’m really jealous now. Is it faster more responsive?

I'm guessing it isn't really feasible to retrofit the 2018 Nav to an older model, they changed much more than just the head unit, new radar, new radio receiver, new microphone, etc.... Also new touchpad, excuse the dust:




Here's a listing of what's changes from 2017 to 2018:

Gunny,

The bigger screen (Started in 2018 models) is no issue for me whatsoever.
However, the appearance (Interface) does appeal to me for sure.
I have NOT activated anything involving Android Play.. The process I saw of doing so involved ALOT of console, dash, wiring removal and that attachment "Splitter" of whatever it was called (It does have a name for it) I would definitely have to hire someone to do that. Electricity and plumbing I do NOT do - no way!
Right now I have bigger fish to fry, and mods going on. Eventually I will get to these nice upgrades. I Bluetooth to WAZE for my Nav anyway. Sound OFF from car.

Here's the thread from the 3IS section and a member there is trying to do it with his car. Very involved. Not just a simple swap.
