I bought the Proclip Center Dash Mount and the MagicMount Charge Elite Wireless Phone Holder (which is technically by Scosche but I bought it through ProClip). These two combo is kind of pricey being $35 + $70 full price respectively. But if you time it right or sign up for their first purchase discount code, you may be able to get around 15% off like I did. Comparatively, I think they're similar price to a RAM mount system or Peak design that offers similar features.
Here are my initial thoughts and impressions:
ProClips system is a two piece system. You gotta buy the mount that's made specifically for your vehicle because their mounts utilizes specific dashboard plastic that the mount can attach to. And the phone holder itself, which various based on phone, size, wireless charging capability, etc. My phone charge is Qi-2, fast charging, and comes with a cigarette adapter and some cable management (but I didn't use them).
There isn't a lot of empty plastic area on the dashboard to attach a phone mount to in this car. I bought this one specifically because it mounts to the exact area I want my phone to mount in and doesn't attached to the actual vent blade itself. It basically wedges itself into the top and bottom grooves that's on the inside edge and hold it into place. And it fits surprising well and very solid with no movement. You can view their official installation video to get a better idea.
Then you just attached your phone holder to the mount itself. Mine has a ball socket system so it's adjustable. Again it's very solid once tighten. It has a built in cable and cable management that you can wrap around the mount itself to adjust the length to nice and tidy. I tucked my cable into a gap that's underneath the A/C controls. Very convenient gap, thanks Toyota.
Overall it's a solid mount, wireless charging works great, and is very tidy. Only complaint so far is that it obviously takes up half of the vent but I'm still able to control the blades based on where I put the mount. Also, depending on where you put it and how big your phone is, it may be very close to the shift lever. I pulled mine away to take the pics so it doesn't show this.
Yes I have the build in wireless charger. No I don't like using it. I think it sucks.

Does it not charge the phone or charge slow or what? I personally don't like where it's positioned so when my truck finally comes in I'll likely go with a solution like yours, but I'm just curious.
