I have this one but there are better ones out now.
The amazon basics one has better ratings. By looking t it, the built in USB charger is convenient but may be annoying if your USB charging port is not next to your RCA port.
This one has the highest ratings but I hate white cables so I wouldn't personally buy this one.

Vaistech (http://www.vaistech.com/dev/home.php) has Integrated android into the Lexus but I'm not sure if it wireless or some cable. This one is truly integrated because the nav touch screen interacts with the phone.
If I had an OEM Nav, I'd get this mod. Hell, I'd buy an old android phone and keep it in the glove compartment just to have it integrated. That would be a sick setup. The Android game emulation scene is currently more advanced than iOS. Nintendo 64 and Playstaion 1 (PSX) can be emulated on android devices. I think at full speed. But most important of all, android devices can pair with a Playstaion 3 sixaxis controller! For now, I'll stick with my iphone and RCA cable. I think vaistech is working on iOS mirroring and full navigation integration.
Next road trip, I'm going to make my girlfriend drive while I play video games.

I initially had all my wires going into my glove compartment. It's not very convenient so I rerouted them to my center console. If you look at the photo, I used a standard RCA cable and put female RCA connects so I can detach my iPhone RCA cable quickly instead of having it plugged directly to the FA unit (behind the dash). This way I can use it at someone's house if I wanted to.
I pulled out the OEM AUX button and put it away because the FA unit doesn't work with the OEM AUX. That way I can port my wires through the center console without having to drill anything. I tried charging with the cigarlette lighter USB port and it caused video distortion. I'd stick the the USB wire that is connect to the FA unit. Maybe my cigarette light has too much power running through it. I'm not sure. I tested it with my iPad and it also caused video distortion.
I'm not tech savy when it comes to car audio. I had no idea what I was doing when I first attempted. But it all worked out in the end.
