Did you know that the Lexus website has a list of phones that are compatible with the ES350? There's an icon that says "Is your Bluetooth phone compatible? Find out here."

It is my understanding that any Bluetooth device will work (pair) with any other Bluetooth device.

Your understanding would be incorrect. See Post #2. I was never successful in getting my Nokia 3650 to pair with the ES. Nor was my dealer. Nokia only replied that the phone supports the handsfree protocol. The Bluetooth standard has evolved, and older models of Bluetooth compatible phones may not pair at all. Even newer phones only support some functions. The Motorola T-Mobile Razr I picked up pairs beautifully, although it doesn't do group mailbox transfers. Before buying anything, I would borrow one and check it out thoroughly if it isn't on the list linked from the Lexus site.

Just started looking for solutions to the same problem. I had a Motorola V551 when I bought an 06 GS and it worked fine. Even the call waiting worked fine. I bought a Razor within the last 3 months and it works with the exception that the call waiting feature works just as you described. Since call waiting was working with the V551, the statement given that Lexus bluetooth is not supported is confusing. If you have had any luck, please let me know.

No luck yet. One Lexus technician told me that the only RAZR he had ever seen that worked w/ the call waiting was an "unlocked European phone". When I told him that this was the phone I had, he said that I could probably get mine to work by changing the operating software but he didn't know which version to suggest. He is supposedly keeping his eyes out for additional info. I'll certainly post if I learn something useful. Please do the same.

Thanks for the info. I guess in the meantime I'll have the V551 repaired?

I have a Sony Ericsson/Cingular W600i cell phone that worked perfectly until I had the Navagation System replaced because of the Voice Recognition problem. Now it will not re-connect. Any suggestions? Anyone else with this problem? Who can I blame?

Don't know about your dealership, but mine had a new car sales customer rep who briefed me for about an hour on everything about the car and even programmed her phone # into my system so that I could instantly call her for clarification of problems working the system. Do you have a similar person "assigned" to your sale? If so, why not give them a call (or visit) to determine the connection issue(s). I've had occasion to call twice and visit once and gotten all my questions and issues answered and/or fixed.

Thanks zekeman1. I'm going to give it another try today and if I still have problems I'll try the dealer tomorrow. So far the dealer in Annapolis has given me great service.

Verizon phone works

I registered my son's Verizon Samsung phone today with the Bluetooth. The hardest part was doing the setup on the phone so that it would connect via Bluetooth. Once I figured that out, connection was easy and has worked everytime he's been in the car. As reported by others, the phonebook doesn't transfer with a Verizon phone.
