The LX plastic has been NLA for a long time. There was a big rush for 2 years or so and then things seemed to have evened out.I haven't looked into converting an 06 in a while, it was my understanding that some parts were NLA a couple years ago. Have they been found again?

I haven't had a problem getting anything. Other than the price doubling more or less in <4 years.
Just got mine working again! Ultimately i found a Nav screen unit that was in known working order, and swapped it in. Pretty much did it.Damn... im still trying to get my OE nav buttons and HVAC controls to work again. Trying hard to keep it original...
sounds like VacavilleMan that’s a lot of reading! And to what end? Stuck here in the suck zone (half way between Sacramento and SF) for the next three years, I wonder if I’ll be able to get this done, and more importantly, if this PX6 unit is worth all the trouble; not so sure. So this is it then? The abosolute best life has to offer us 200 series players?
My wife’s 2015 LX 570 has a similar system as my ‘07. One would have thought that the JPN's, (is it still Fuji Industries who makes LC?LX's?) would have been more diligent and forth coming in advanced systems between ’07 - ’15. Makes me want to go back to a Craco from Western Auto, with Jenson 6x9’s in DIY box’s! I still have some cassettes, OMG!
Fuuuuudge sickle.
Oh o know it does. I keep taking it to Toyota for services! It try’s its best to escape, run down the road to the Lexus dealer too!well maybe it hates you too
What makes you say Vacaville? It’s Travis!sounds like Vacaville
Well sheee it! I’m just pulling up your write up. Damn, wish I would have found this before my previous post. Oh well…I wouldn't sully an 06/07 with those cheap Tesla imitation units. Doing that stuff well takes WAY more than those no-name companies are putting into it. Search the forum here and you will find multiple people that went through ALL the trouble of install only to later remove because the thing works so poorly.
Don't put cheap electronics in your car.
The "right" answer is the non-nav swap. It's complicated. It's expensive and it requires a lot of learning/reading/knowledge. Until somebody takes the massive amount of time and effort to sort the kit and instructions and do all the leg work for you by putting into a single kit, you're stuck doing it all yourself.
The easy answer is to buy non-polarized sunglasses and enjoy the existing system. If you want to get more capability, buy a Grom VL2. Super easy install and gets you about 10 years further down the technology line with Apple Car Play and Android Auto.
How often are you screwing with your climate controls? I adjust mine about once per month, and only when my wife is in the car and needs something special. The auto setting works well, IMO. Embrace the auto setting and the climate concerns mostly go away.
Oh yeah, climate control. Hm, well, I “agree” to use whatever I’m agreeing to use, then hit the climate selection, mainly so I don’t have to be distracted by a mostly POS NAv screen that’s too slow to really tell me where to go, before I get there, or SIRI, in her sarcastic tone has already told me where to go (I’d like to punch her right in the face!), then finally, I select AC on, if it’s not already fired up. It just depends on how hot it is. Ok. I’ll try auto mode, and try to leave it alone.Well sheee it! I’m just pulling up your write up. Damn, wish I would have found this before my previous post. Oh well…
ok then, I’ll look up this here called Grom VL2 thing a ma bob.
Sounds like it too is going to be a huge learning curve for me.
All I really want to do is drive slow in the carpool lane, bolt through the Fastrak booth, without paying (of course not get caught) and find a quiet place to sit and fish! drink beer and scotch, eat burgers and seafood, and get home before me wife does so I can get my big fat 470 inside before she gets her 570 inside the garage!
That's the expensive unit that plugs into the existing screen right?
Plugs into the existing unit, and does what exactly? Expensive, as in how much expensive?That's the expensive unit that plugs into the existing screen right?

Yeah it plugs into the back I think that's the model you referred toPlugs into the existing unit, and does what exactly? Expensive, as in how much expensive?
Are you asking about the Grom VL2 thing, or what?
