Just want to update, i took Nigel's advice and got the arm rest tray and eventually the wireless car charger pad and it works great! No slip and i can now charge my phone without having to fumble with wires. $30 set up but well worth it just for convenience alone. Thanks Nigel!

That's a good option if you want the phone to be visible....and to be honest its quicker to work the GPS on the phone than the nav on the car. lol.

The arm rest cubby option I got is great though. Clean.

No problemo. I like mods that aren't crazy expensive but work and look oem-ish. Some people hate having phones not within hands reach... I actually prefer that the phone isn't visible. I can drive and enjoy life. We are already tied too much to our phone. I don't need my phone staring at me in the face in the car. Only time I really take the phone out is if I have to change stations on Pandora, then it goes back in the console.

I just bought a little tray for my CT200h that looks like the RCF's but the CT's console is much narrower and so I can't find a charging pad that would fit, plus the phone doesn't really fit in it at all. Kinda of bummer.

Just wanted to expand on this mod a bit further. I was able to retrofit a MagSafe charger into the linked tray. Here is the link to the full write-up over on the IS forums: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...l#post11375429
