Replying to: katzjamr (Jan 24, 2006 2:34 pm) The screen is not blank, although I can turn it off with the voice command. It will show any of the screens that correspond to the buttons below, but will not respond to touch. I brought it to the dealer and they are trying to figure out what to do. Sounds like a major fix is required.   Very disappointing for a vehicle with just 3,500 miles.

Replying to: dadcat (Dec 23, 2005 5:36 pm) If you look into the Navigation Quick Guide you will find some of the Voice Commands that the system will recognize. In regards to HOME try using "GO HOME" for a higher success rate. Lastly, I always recommend rolling up the windows and quieting the interior before making a command.

Replying to: navguy (Mar 29, 2006 3:32 pm) Saying "Go Home" works poorly too. It often puts up the icons for Golf Courses when I say that, except under perfectly quiet conditions (car stopped, engine and climate control off). The voice recognition system is just not reliable under any other conditions.
#20 of 56 Phone directory transfer by dsilver2 May 06, 2006 (12:56 pm)
Has anyone been successful in trasfering the phone directory from a Motorola bluetooth phone to the car?   Thank you, Replies to this message: stevelx400h (May 21, 2006 4:26 pm) stevelx400h (May 21, 2006 5:23 pm) dsilver2 (May 21, 2006 6:20 pm)
#21 of 56 Modifying software by stevelx400h May 21, 2006 (4:26 pm)
Replying to: dsilver2 (May 06, 2006 12:56 pm) I heard that I can modify the software in my RX400h so that I can dial out on the phone and enter an address in the Nav system while the car is moving. How do I do this?

Replying to: dsilver2 (May 06, 2006 12:56 pm) Page 123 of the 2006 Lexus Nav system manual explains how to do this. The problem is that it says you can transfer the address BOOK, but with my Moto RAZR I can only transfer one phone number at a time. Replies to this message: dsilver2 (May 21, 2006 6:20 pm)

Replying to: stevelx400h (May 21, 2006 5:23 pm) Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what I found, I had no problem bonding my Moto RAZR with the car but I had to transfer one phone number at a time which is a tedious process. I also have a BMW 530xi, which automatically bonded and transfered the whole phone directory which took less than 2 minutes.
#24 of 56 Motorola SLVR compatibility by vdoc Aug 15, 2006 (6:37 pm)
Having learned from this forum that you can't transfer phone numbers from a Verizon phone to the embedded Bluetooth, I switched to Cingular and traded my Razr V3c for a SLVR L6. The SLVR L6 was not listed in the Lexus Bluetooth compatibility chart but when I called Lexus, the person I spoke with said that one of the people who worked in the department had a new SLVR phone and it worked fine. I also called Motorola beforehand to ask if there was any technical difference between the Razr and the SLVR and was told by Motorola they were the same. Problem is, when I place a call in my car and dial from the handset (can't use the Lexus touchpad when you're moving...)the call connects several seconds before you can hear the party through the handsfree speaker or they can here you. Unless the party is patient, it often results in them hanging up on you. After several calls and emails to Motorola support plus a letter to Motorola customer relations that went unanswered, I finally took the phone to a 3rd level Motorola service center in town. The technician told me right away that this was a problem with the SLVR L6 and L7 that had something to do with the Bluetooth antenna in the Lexus, BMW, and one other luxury car. Apparently whomever I talked to at Motorola before I bought the phone was wrong when they said that the Razr and the SLVR were the same phone. Unless someone's figured out a way to dial out on the navi touchpad while you're moving, I guess I'm stuck with the problem until Motorola addresses it (or not).
#25 of 56 BlueTooth problem by maxamigo Sep 05, 2005 (9:38 pm)
I have tremendous difficulty with Nextel-605 and the Rx400h, operation wise. The car just would not let me answer calls unless I am at a red light. And when the phone rings, I just can't stop quickly enough to answer it before it goes to voice mail.   Does anyone know of a way to override this restriction????   Oddly enough, it lets me make calls while the vehicle is rolling, provided that I store the number in 1-touch mode.
