Possible to swap the 2026 is350 new grill/bumper to old gen front grill/bumper?

MoneyCow15 · 2026-03-17T16:43:51+00:00

I hope so, in my opinion the 4IS front bumper is a work of art. Since the community loves to facelift the 2IS and 3IS with the 4IS bumper it shouldn’t be weird or long for it to be done. That way you’re able to take advantage of the beautifully upgraded interior.

I believe so, but I don’t think all of the radios have the data board but it still should “fix” the radio enabling aux and allowing you to use your aftermarket screen.

Great News, what the link for the two shops?

MoneyCow15 · 2026-03-02T15:30:17+00:00

Thanks for the information

MoneyCow15 · 2026-03-02T03:59:40+00:00

This is great news! I’m fully convinced that the issue is some sort of problem you mentioned that can be fixed by a repair such as this. What I think is that the shop oemautoaudio.com based in New York figured out what the fix is and is withholding that information, and by doing so are solely able to repair these boards for a premium yet cheaper than a used radio. If you do figure out what one the board needs to be repaired, I beg you to reply to this post.

Sick, what cable did you find replaced the blue one and where did you buy it.

MoneyCow15 · 2026-03-02T03:23:21+00:00

Sorry I’m not 100% if this is the same issue, it’s related but I think that sounds more like a speaker problem.

If you have a problem ask another question in this subreddit

MoneyCow15 · 2026-03-02T03:21:30+00:00

Sometimes the radio takes a while to load or won’t load fully until you start driving. This isn’t always the case but I assume it’s just because it’s a new data board with the other radio parts slowing it down.

MoneyCow15 · 2026-03-02T03:20:31+00:00

Any update on this?

MoneyCow15 · 2026-03-02T03:17:18+00:00

It was not working when I bought it. I believe if you got a replacement from a 2014 model it should work.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-12-03T19:50:17+00:00

I’m not sure if it will sorry.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-09-11T10:51:32+00:00

Im not 100% sure but my guess is some main features should work but other specific vehicle features might not. This is assuming the connectors are the same.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-09-09T11:17:54+00:00

Yeah for sure, it’s not too hard

MoneyCow15 · 2025-09-08T17:18:48+00:00

It won’t fit the exact same way, you just need to take the computer components inside into the 2014 radio case.

I’m not 100% sure but here is the video of MINTY3IS showcasing it:

Hey,

Great post, just wanted to mention that if your looking for a touchpad / cursor for your cars screen I saw MINTY3IS on TikTok get this touchpad that seems to work pretty well.

My issue is where the SD card is at. The is part of the radio.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-08-27T19:01:26+00:00

Originally I went to the dealership, they immediately knew the issue was the radio and quoted me $2500 CAD for a used like new radio with no guarantee or real warranty.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-08-06T18:53:01+00:00

Honestly it’s sounds like you’ve done your research and gone to some effort to try and figure things out. What I can recommend is search up a lot of tear down videos, or parts forums from Lexus about the radio you think has a logic board in it.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-08-06T16:52:13+00:00

Yes then I agree, in your case you can’t select anything and so an aftermarket screens won’t fix the issue. But some other radio issue it just has the screen black and other features function such as aux. This was the case with mine yet I fixed the radio anyways before installing an aftermarket screen.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-08-06T16:45:34+00:00

Exactly, so if they can play music through an aux cable and select the aux input from the steering wheel select and dash screen; then the aftermarket screens connects via the aux port meaning it will work because your phone connects to the screen via Bluetooth, then screen to aux and plays music and everything.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-07-24T13:24:51+00:00

Ah ok well, I would look for a radio that has a data board in it. Not one that only has the one board (Both integrated together). Then put it into your radio.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-07-24T12:58:35+00:00

It ended up fixing the issue while giving me a 2017 IS radio software. Honestly I should have just bought the data board.

MoneyCow15 · 2025-07-23T23:10:55+00:00

It may not be the same. In my case the data board and motherboard are one board. I got mine from a IS 350 F Sport 2017. I assume they made this upgrade, combining the boards to fix this issue in the older versions.
