That a nice upgrade and I see myself owning.

A couple things I noticed: Appears to only be for non nav IS models. No button for turning off the charger eg. the RX has a button to turn off the power, not sure if it would drain the battery if consistently on with no phone attached.

Given the price point, I can't imagine not trying it...IF i didn't have Navi...cause it looks like the trim piece is molded for a non-navi setup.
Also, the connector looks like it's plug and play, and the harness not very long, so it will likely connected to a circuit under the armrest area...which won't be powered with the ignition off...so battery drain shouldn't be an issue.

Hopefully quality in real life is better than photos show. Plastic looks like fisher-price quality in photos.

if anyone uploads some good pics I may want to jump on.
