Hmm, yeah you’re probably right. I gave up on the navi conversion and ordered an android version as you suggested, I made sure it seemed to have the same climate functionality and just hope the audio won’t be an issue. It’s probably ok after some fiddling in the settings! thanks for the advice and for saving me a couple $$!

@HerbieMe?! A pioneer? You might be right, I haven’t seen any posts, I’ll make the swap and post my results as soon as I get some prying tools. I broke my nail trying without them today 🥺

They don't have any units for non-navs from what I can tell in their configurator, I've spoken directly to them as well and told them about the swap, didn't seem like an issue, granted I can get the head unit to work. The issue is - can a Non-nav car supply power and get the display functional without additional wiring harnesses? All OEM Lexus ISX models use basically the same monitor from 06-13, but what I am not so sure about is if it's just plug and play (since I'm not going to use the factory navigation or mics or anything, just want to see that I have a monitor up and running so I can order the Vline)

Can I swap a Non-nav unit to an OEM nav unit and plug in a Vline vl2 or will I need additional cables, harness or solder something? I've checked forums and FAQ's everywhere, can't find anyone who has done it from a non-nav, only NAV. I got a used Navigation unit from Ebay, and would like to fit it to my Lexus IS250 together with a Vline to get apple carplay. Starting to lose hope, but would appreciate it if anyone who successfully has done the swap can give me some pointers before I start disassembling my interior.
