After looking a little closer, there is a little notch in either side of the front of the arm rest. It's in the little piece that moves. When the cable comes through that notch, it is able to be pulled out further without much resistance.

Are you sure about this? I have this same Belkin unit in my car (not a Lexus, yet) and when you switch the car off (and the DC outlet is turned off) the iPod does NOT turn off. It continues to play, running off battery. This was true on my 3G iPod and is still true on my 5G. (Now it's possible than my Belkin is older and it has been improved since I bought it many years ago.)

Mine (4G - Photo & Nano) will not turn off immediately, but will PAUSE when you turn the car off (DC outlet is turned off). The i-pod will then turn itself off after a certain amount of time if I do anything.
