Where do you mount your cellphone?
I just got my 98 LS 400 and put my 01 Merc E430 sport up for sale. I bought my Merc in 2003 with 30K miles on it and honestly my LS 400 with 120K is tighter, no rattles, better feeling car. I love it.
But here's my question. The Merc had an incredible stow away cup holder system that I modified to be a cellphone holder. It was a thing of beauty and engineering that Mercedes themselves couldn't have come up with *LOL, patting myself on the back here*
But where do you put your cellphone in the LS 400? So much nice wood trim and the interior is just so beautiful compared to the merc I feel it would be shameful to stick something to it.
Ideas? Pictures?
Thanks!

Here in Europe Lexus could supply you with this:
You can mount it next to your radio/astray on the dash
Too bad this one doesn't fit on mine, And I think it's even mirrored (RHD)

i took the ashtray out and cut off the cigarette holder part of it and just stick my phone in the ashtray. works great. right next to the lighter outlet if i need to use my charger. mine is a 93 though.

My phone is on a Kuda leather phone base in the cradle of a hands free phone kit that charges the phone and automatically mutes the radio when the phone rings or a call is made - photo is attached.
I keep putting off installing a Bluetooth phone kit in my 00 LS but if/when I do, I'll install a Bury System 9 charging cradle on the Kuda phone base. Bury supplies Toyota/Lexus with components for the Toyota and Lexus Bluetooth Complementary Kit that is available in many other countries for most Toyota and Lexus models - I have a photo handy of the one for the 2010 RX450h so I'll post that. Bury charging cradles for a number of Bluetooth phone models are available on eBay for around $70 each for the base and interchangeable charging cradles.

I like the Kuda mount. Which model did you buy since I don't believe they make one for the LS 400.

The photos of the non-navigation LS400 on the Kuda website are photos of my car -- they needed photos of their mount in a non-nav LS400 so I sent them some.

Could you place direct me to where I might find the model holder and specifications?

The Bury system nine consists of two components. A base plate and interchangeable cradles that snap on to the base plate so different phones can be used. Most of the snap-in cradles have an antenna connection for better reception but some phones like the iPhone do not support an external antenna so you are stuck with poorer reception while you are in the car if you are far from cell phone towers.
Attached is a Bury system 9 brochure. They have other products including the System 8 cradle system. The cradles are more available for phones popular in Europe but are available for many phones sold in the U.S.
