So every day I reach into my door pocket and put it on my dash as I drive through the toll.
I simply stuck my (Florida) toll transponder to the inside of the sunroof. Works just fine, and you can't even see it from the outside.

Interesting...where exactly did you put it? I may try this out! Thanks.

Never would have thought to look for one - recommended to a friend who then ordered one immediately. Bumping the thread up in case anyone is like me who didn't realize what they needed until they saw this.

Thanks Rocket!
Welcome and glad you like it! I'm not sure why Lexus hasn't made this themselves (or a better one) and sell them at the dealership for 2x the price...or more! I guess it's better for us!

Nice! I like it more and more each day. Getting it out is a bit of a pain due to the tight tolerance, but not a deal breaker at all.

For the 3IS owners, if you don't have one of these, get one. Just received mine and I gotta tell ya, worth every penny. All $16.58 of them. Haha! Very cheap price to pay for convenience.

Funny you say that...that was actually my review.

I was looking for the cheapest storage tray and paid without even checking out the seller. Shipping was fast(12 days from China to L.A). Packaging was great and the the tray fitment was perfect.

Wherever you get it, GET IT. Most practical and useful mod so far for me!

I also have a very similar console piece in my S5 that I ordered off Amazon. It fits perfectly and holds coins, gas card and keys. My wallet fits below. The only downside is that you have to lift it out each time to access anything below, but if you don't access the lower bin very often it's worth it.

Thanks for the recommendation. Picked up one of these from the link you provided. Definitely a great solution if you don't need access super frequently like the poster above mentioned. For me, it's a perfect place to now put my keys/wallet when this car previously lacked just that. The fit is pretty impressive, someone who wouldn't know better would definitely think it's stock.

The only thing that sucks is that the Lexus IS writing is what I consider to be upside down, but it's a very minor annoyance. Best $20 you can spend on your car.

I thought the same thing about the logo. But since you turn your head back to look into the center, I can justify it being rightside up.
