Purchase a aftermarket Bluetooth DP radio. This does away with mounting brackets or attachments. Keep the elegance of your LS; you will appreciate it later.

Surprised I don't see any mention of ProClip mounts in this thread. I have one on my 370z and picked up one for the LS a few months ago. Its a little pricey but IMO its money well spent. Perfect position and super solid.

Default Smart Phone holder

Anybody else place their smart phone here? Seems like the perfect spot since it just fits down in the spot and never slides around. Who would of thunk back in the early 2000's when they made this model this would be a perfect spot.

Works even better if you have the ash tray delete box

That is my MP3 converter. I play music from my smart phone to the radio. It is wireless and picks up fairly well.

I use my Galaxy all the time for nav (even though my car has nav). And it fits nicely in front of the tranny shift. It doesn't fit in our other two cars so it's always a hassle with them. I need it not so much for navigating, but for seeing which route is best commuting on any given day...

It's an
NFC NFC
tag. You can program it from your phone to do whatever you want. I have that one set to force-connect to the car's Bluetooth radio.

I've been using that spot for the past five years in my LS. It's a good spot.

Here is the one I am using for the '01 LS with the FM transmitter ..... Less than $20.... Similar products with just the charging ports... Waze and Pandora work well together on the iPhone. Had to remove the silicone gripping pads after I started using the Otterbox case...
