I have just bought a 2015 is300h Advance which I love but the infotainment system is very counter intuitive and cumbersome to say the least, so I am looking for a similar solution. I have tried at length to get mirrorlink to work from my android phone but no joy...
I have bought a heater vent mount for my phone from Halfords for 12 quid and use google maps and music over bluetooth which works fine.
Google works well, I just say "ok google, navigate to... " and up comes the map screen with the route, so much easier than messing with the menu system and putting in a postcode! Plus my maps are out of 3 years out of date and i don't want to fork out whatever the dealer wants to charge for an update when google is always up to date.
I would like to find a more elegant solution though... but not for £350!
Interested to find out how other people work with the Nav/info being as cumbersome as it is?
