Is there is a slick mod or smartphone holder for the iPhone?

This might be an idea. I use this mount in my BRZ along with an iPhone specific holder that also charges my phone when its docked. Power is tapped from the 12 volt outlet located inside the glove compartment of the BRZ. I'm wondering where I can tap power for the IS350 though? Maybe find an ACC On wire behind the radio or do a "tap a fuse" at the fuse box in the driver foot well area.

I use this... https://www.amazon.com/Spigen%C2%AE-.../dp/B0109JIQ0W

I have a Samsung S5, which is too big for the cup holders. So I bought one of these magnet vent mounts. It holds the phone very good, even when I do tight turns it never falls out of place.

And if your're wondering if the magnet would harm the phone? Personally, I had no problems with it, been using it for a good 10 months now.

Only thing I will say is that it kinda blocks the vent when the phone is mounted. So yeaaaaaaaaaaah..
