I use a DriveLink wireless adapter with my S23 and just run wireless android auto and keep my phone in the center armrest.
Worked when I had my 2020 ES and it does work in the 23 GX.

Just ordered one, have you tried it sticking on the dash? Curious. Also does CarPlay work with MagSafe? Either way, hoping this works

I have tried using other suction cut mounts where the cup was a much stickier material and still had no luck with it sticking long term due to the leverage applied to the suction cup and how it naturally pulls the cup away from the mounting surface. What I did end up doing in our 2017 (which has a different center stack then the newer GX's) is the RAM track mount setup, and honestly just screwed the track to the center console. I knew it would be permanent, and I didn't want to have to worry any more so I committed to holes. haha

The adjustability of the vent mount is well-thought-out. It doesn’t interfere with the 2022-23 touchscreen and I’m able to comfortably navigate my phone without ever removing it from the mount.

Installed the Peak Design vent mount, and very happy with the results. It will hold my phone with an apple MagSafe case, even with the MagSafe wallet in place! Happy with this solution.

Pro-Clip

Pro-Clip has a new mount for the 22-23 GX, and it's 25% off for Black Friday weekend. It's down low and intrudes slightly into passenger compartment. Anybody try this?

There's also a youtube installation video

, and Pro-Clip responded to a comment that they "are also developing a secondary mount location for the 22+ Lexus GX that will be slightly higher up. However, that mount will not be ready until mid 2024."
