Default Replace Mark Levinson with Apple Carplay

Hello,

I purchased a 2006 RX400H with a Mark Levinson multimedia system.
The navigation system is archaic and the hands free phone system is cumbersome.

I'm looking for advice to upgrade the 2006 system for a current Apple carplay.
I am not an audio person and have never been able to hear the difference from one system to another so this is not the issue.
I need to be able to use my phone to make calls and still hear the navigation while driving.

Please tell me if there is a better option or not possible.

Thank you

That's what I have heard. Just wondering is anyone has done it and what issues may have come up, if any.
Thank you for your feedback Wh0pp3r.
