I checked out proclip and it does not seem like an elegant solution. First the mount costs about $70 (clip and holder) and sits at this really odd place where I wouldn't want my GPS tracker (on iPhone) to be while I am driving. Attached is an image from ProClip's website showing the mount.

I've had proclip mounts for most of my past PDA phones and vehicles, but I am not a fan of their mounting choice for the Yaris either.

I recently switched to an iPhone for work and am really trying to figure out where to mount it in my Yaris. My last phone was a Windows Mobile phone with a built-in GPS, so I ran TomTom on it.

The iPhone google map thing is not enough for me, so I am trying to decide if I should wait for TomTom to "possibly" be released for the iPhone (TomTom has the product done, but they can't come to an agreeement with Apple on distribution), buy the Alpine HU with the integrated/removable TomTom, or just buy one of the latest gen TomTom units and carry it with me when I travel (I fly about once a month for work).

The iPhones mounting location for me would potentially be different for each of those options. I think that whereever I mount it, I will either re-route the aux jack or get the real iPod/iPhone interface for the HU.

Since I just use my ipod and iphone for music, I simply plug in a itrip and set it on the dash with anti slip mat. Easiest cleanest solution for simple music playback etc.

They have one that mounts on plastic dash piece surrounding the center AC vents. They list it under the sedan, but it does fit the LB. I have used one on my LB before.
