Nokia bluetooth by rocketdan
Jul 01, 2006 (2:24 pm)

I just picked up my ES350 today (so far everything is GREAT) and tried to connect my old Nokia 3650 Cingular phone. I have been holding off replacing it til I saw what worked with the car, but it is bluetooth compatible and I have linked it to several computers so I thought I'd try it. The phone indicates it has paired with the car, but the car display never acknowleges that. It still shows no phone connected and it is still trying to connect. Has anyone tried and been successful with this model?

In case it helps, a similar thing happened with me and my '05 Lexus LS430. Although it didn't appear to work and I kept re-pairing them over and over again, I finally just went ahead and made a call from the phone, and lo and behold, it worked and has worked from then on. Made me feel very silly.
 
Apparently some of these systems needs an actual call to be made to complete the process. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I never would have thought of that! I'll give it a try tonight. I did very easily connect a friends Razr (Cingular) today and made a call just to ensure the system is working.

Treo problem by mmoss1

When I picked up my 350 a few days ago the dealer told me they had "problems" hooking up the Treo through Bluetooth. We hooked it up at the time and it worked perfectly for several days. Now it is not working, and I cannot get it to work.
 
The phone is showing that it connects, but the car is clearly telling me "mobile phone not connected".
 
Has anyone else fixed this problem?

Try these:
 
1. Make sure the transmitter is not being blocked by your phone case. Remove the phone from any case you have it in and see if that works.
 
2. Try a reset of the phone; that sometimes clears up problems. Use the stylus to press in the hole on the back of the phone under the battery cover on the left side.
 
3. From the main phone screen, click on the top left corner to show the menu, choose "Options">"Phone Preferences", then try turning on or off "Enable Voice Privacy" and see which way works better.
 
Let us know if any of these help.

Well, it was a good try but unfortunately the Nokia 3650 still doesn't work. I wrote to Nokia, and they simply said the phone supports the Bluetooth handfree protocol and I should check with Lexus. Everyone supports the protocol, but apparently there is enough variability in the standards that many don't quite work!

Calls hang up with Call Waiting by dp5
Jul 11, 2006 (11:06 am)

I have a Motorola RAZR paired with my new ES 350. Whenever I am speaking on my phone, I'll frequently get a second call on call waiting. If I don't answer the new call, both calls disconnect when the 2nd call rolls over to voicemail. If I do answer the 2nd call, both calls hang up when the 1st call disconnects.
 
Others don't seem to be having the trouble so I am sure that it is a setting on my phone but I can't find anything. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Does your phone work with your car? by donegal

Check the car you're looking at to see if it works with your phone or enter your phone to see which cars support it.

Thanks for the link. My phone is a Motorola Razr V3 and it is supposed to be compatible.
 
However, whenever I am using the bluetooth and recieve a 2nd call on call waiting, both lines disconnect when either caller hangs up. Yesterday, I took my phone to the store I bought it from and was told that this was a software issue and they needed to load a different operating system on my phone. They asked me to call Lexus to learn which operating system works with the Lexus. I spent almost 2 hours being bounced around between Lexus, the Lexus bluetooth specialists and Motorola. Finally, a Lexus customer service representative told me that the Lexus bluetooth does not support call waiting and that I needed to disable call waiting on my cell phone when making a call to keep from having call waiting disconnect the original call. She said that this is true for all Lexus vehicles and all phones.
 
I'd like to know if all other ES 350 owners experience this problem or if I got some misinformation. Please post and let me know if a second cell phone call makes your phone disconnect when using bluetooth.
