There is a lengthy thread in the SC430 section on ClubLexus about a Parrot MKi9100 install. It's probably from a couple of years ago but you can find it by searching that section for "Parrot".
A lot of people hide the Parrot display in the ashtray but I think it would be more useful if it was higher up. I have long planned to install a Parrot MKi9100 in my 2000 LS400 but my old phone and kit hasn't given up yet. When I do install the Parrot, I will mount the display on the left side of the instrument cluster just below the fuel guage so I won't have to take my eyes off the road as much.
If you have any mechanical skill (and time), consider doing the install yourself with an interface harness from Parrot. It's probably a "7" on a 1 to 10 scale of difficulty. I have had very poor luck with "professional" phone kit installers and ended up repositioning most of the components in two cars.
Search this forum for "Parrot" and you will find other threads.
I have this exact system in my 04 and works very, very well. I put the display inside my dash binacle, as far to the right as it will go. I can see both digital displays beneath the gauges with this set up. I mounted the remote to the left of the window shade button on the console. Just remember to slide the remote of it's little bracket before letting guy's wash your car. The selector knob comes off easily and you have to order a new one from Parrot if you can't find it. Personal experience from several misadventures at the car wash. The sound is great as well as the voice recognition, I would just recommend spending the extra money to get a LS430 specific harness to secure a solid, clean connection.
