Updates!!!
Updates! !
Gripes:
1. Cannot figure out how to run my Google Navigation or Waze apps while listening to FM or SAT from the factory head unit. It seems that the only way I can listen to audio and run the navigation apps is to play music from the phone. Once I hit the SAT button, I love the iViC screen and it defaults to my stock NAV. So, this was a major let down...I hope it is just a setting issue that I haven't come across yet.
Update 3/30/2013 - Won't be able to do as car headunit sees iVic as a source similar to CD Changer..but I have on accident somehow been able to use oem satellite while dispaying phone on ivic
2. My scrolling on the factory nav screen doesn't work quite like the phone...if I can get this bluetooth mouse to mimic how the new 2013 Lexus vehicles have, that would be a huge plus.
Update 3/30/2013 - used whitetooths idea of a BT mouse..works perfectly..
3. I wish that after I back up and the camera turns off that the iViC screen returns back without me having to hit the Disc/Aux button to toggle it again. It may also be a setting or programming issue.
Update 3/30/2013 - No fix but its ok
4. My Samsung MHL adapter has a weak connection..almost as if it does not go far enough into the phone usb port. So I am using a cheaper MHL adapter that has been working great.
Update 3/30/2013 - Amazon sold me a fake OEM Samsung MHL Adapter..I sent it back to Amazon for refund and bought a genuine adapter from Best Buy for $39 and it is 5x heavier and connection into phone is perfect..system operates flawlessly.

So is there a way to have the iPhone maps running where you don't need a mouse? Like input the address and what not on the phone and just have it mirror the display on the nav screen?

Yes, with HDMI connection you have the mirror function, with bluetooth mouse you have the touch/steering function, except iPhone as music player. There is a native iVIC support which allows to use the stock steering wheel and touch screen buttons for playing song/album/folder/files. With other words, the iVIC connects the car loudspeakers with the iPhone.

Will this work in a 2007 gs with mark levinson? Also, will I lose the automatic function of the backup camera? I guess I can't find a reason that it won't work in my car but I'd hate to have to flip a switch everytime I want to back out of the garage.

the best solution for your 2005 RX400h is the Vaistech MultimediaLinQ (MML-L1). You can connect your iPhone and play music directly from your smartphone. No additional buttons are needed. All Lexus switches you find on the steering wheel, navigation screen or your radio can be used to select your favorite artist or album.
You can buy the Vaistech player in Europe (by email info@vaistech.de) or import from U.S.
As of model year 2007 the Lexus RX400h supports video playback. Unfortunately earlier models do not have this capability. However, this is no bad news as you will enjoy the crystal clear sound of the MML and not miss any other features. Video and Apps on the nav screen is a security risk if a driver is busy with such toys.
