Hello Lexus friends,
Does anybody has any experiences with this brand in their LS430?
http://www.kudausa.com/lexus-ls-430-...lack-a441.html
I saw another topic with another telephone holder and that really damaged the dash. I want something that is 100% safe. Ill be planning to keep my 430 forever so I am really picky with ugly little details.
Hope anyone can say something about this brand. If you know any other good alternatives please let me know! I coudnt find anything else.
Many thanks!

Link is broken indeed. I just found out. Last time I checked it worked.
Its seems that this is a German company. Kuda
Anyone?

The answer for me is No....I haven't seen something that big since the mid-80's. I'm not sure anything short of a brick phone would even fit.
I've struggled to find a good phone holder for the LS that's not stuck on the windshield but honestly this doesn't look like a viable option IMO.

Well I hope the fitment and details are nice on the mount. They do deliver it with real leather for 5 euro's extra.

I had this installed along with phone holder from ProClip USA, or you can use any phone holder of your choice, it's very simple to installed and it's just right position.

Do you have any pictures of what you finally ended up with?
I'm assuming you have to take out the CD player and it mounts to the side of that? Was here already a whole it screwed into or did you have to make a hole?
I set that on my watch list, I just might have to give that one a try especially if I can find a way to permanently mount one of my existing mounts to it.

Nice, I like that. That's the area I like to put mine in but the suction cup ones usually fall off and then I had a gravity holding style which worked somewhat okay until I bought a larger style phone that was to big for the holder to keep in place. I would turn a corner and it would go flying across the seat.

When I meant remove the CD player I didn't mean permanently but I get what you're saying. You have to pull the CD player out (which is what I meant) and then use one of the mounting points for the wood face plate to mount it, something along those lines.
Think I might have to order one of these. That looks just like what I need.

Ordered, we'll see how it goes and hopefully I'll finally get a holder that will work. I'm going to see if I can mount one of the current car mounts I have and if not I might have to break down for a proclip.

I prefer a "minimalist" solution, and have actually been very happy with these small, inexpensive magnetic vent-mounted holders for my Apple IPhone X:
I was initially somewhat apprehensive about mounting anything to my vent, but gave it a shot (at $5 per mount, it was worth a try) and have been very happy with how it looks and how it holds my IPhone securely with minimal fuss. I put a small metal plate (included for the $5) between my phone and its case, and stuck the small, discrete round magnet thingy on the vent to the left of my steering wheel (near the door). I did shut off the air stream to that vent (so as to not blast my phone with warm air in the winter). It's super simple to just pop my phone onto the magnetic mount when I get in and pop it out when I get out, and so far, the phone hasn't jiggled loose (my air ride suspension helps in that regard). Note that I have a 2010 LS460L, not a LS430, but I have used this same mount in my other cars/trucks and it has worked great in each.
