so i took the stand apart and found that the magnetic part fits perfectly where our analogue clocks are!
and since my wife really thinks the clock looks outta place, its the perfect place to put it!





How did you get it to stay in place? Did you have to cut anything or break anything off to get it fitted into there?

thanks for the replies guys

didn't have to break anything at all
just unscrewed the single screw behind the infiniapps stand and you get the circle piece i have in the pic
then i just used strong double sided tape that does not leave residue to stick it on the clock!
thats it

what a nice bonus!
the light from the clock shows from around the magnet creating a halo effect!

nice touch~

the place where the microSD card is hidden for the nav?
i think that place would be best for me to have the phone.. but since there's a hidden cover for the microSD, not sure if the gaps at the microSD cover will affect the suction?
Silentwish, Did you every try the suction in that area? Or the area between the two seat warmer buttons?

And where did you get your infiniapps magnet suction?

The infiniapps magnet at the clock location is awesome...Im a fan of it.

the cd slot styles aren't bad ideas either! the placement of them is pretty good.

I just keep it in my pocket. Isn't that the point of having Bluetooth phone/audio in the first place?

I don't think it opens my app unless it's open in my phone. For example, I play music from my Google Music and I can't access that music unless I open that app on my phone first. After that, I could then control it. Same thing for Songza, Soundcloud, etc.

Can these be accessed without pulling out my phone?

I'm an iPhone user and I can access my playlists directly from the Lexus screen. I'm not sure about Android but from what it sounds like all you need to do is start the app(s) before you get into the car. This is what I do with the Lexus App Suite.

Default Mountek Magnetic Mount

A magnet comes with the mount and I stuck it between the phone and case.

Passenger seat or in between the driver seat and console. Note 2 is just too big.

I keep my iPhone 6 inside the console, plugged into a DC charger. I can listen to Pandora for hours, take calls, no battery drain of course.
