Phone mount

I have to work with my dealer's shop once my GX comes in. Hoping I can mount on the dash shelf beside the 14" display on the passenger side. Works really well on my Jeep GC and the Garmin Thread when out of cell phone coverage.

I use a super heavy duty arm system that fits like a vice inside the one of the cupholders. Best ones are at iboltmounts.com. Easy to run cable from cupholder to USB jacks too. This is the only approach that satisfied all my requirements: total adjustability, rigidity, phone close and angled toward eyes, and no chance of phone turning into missile and hitting face in accident or rollover. Plenty of other place for drinks in door, cooler, and rear center row. You can also put other things on arm, like a reading light or tablet, if you ever need to switch things up.
 
Just got the pro clip installed …only viable route I liked after doing some research
Doesn’t take up any infotainment space or center console area. Some time will tell if I like it.

I just finished 3D printing a mount that uses an Apple MagSafe charger and uses the car 12v plug hole

If you have something in a case with a 1/4" socket, the NEEWER Super Clamp with dual ballhead arm (Amazon) grabs onto the rail above the glove box, so you can have it at the same height as the Lexus screen.

Phone mount

I'm going to visit a stereo shop to have some dynamat sound deadening material applied inside my truck and I'll also ask them to splice in a USB-C charger and put the plug up in the dash somewhere down in the passenger footwell so that I don't have to have the charger plugged in right there on the dash. Maybe I can find a way to route the magsafe charging puck's wire back behind the dash cover too....may have to drill a hole.
