Just wondering if Lexus offers an integrated phone for the ES350.
An integrated phone usually has far more power and an external antenna, which means far fewer lost calls and dropouts in rural and even urban areas.
Does Lexus still ofter an integrated phone? What carrier is compatable with.
Thanks

I don't believe there's a Lexus branded factory installed phone option for the ES. But check with the local dealer. I'm sure they install aftermarket phones that are made to fit in the car.

The Blutooth connection is so seamless and invisible that I almost forgot that my ES doesn't have a built-in phone.

I think Lexus dropped that option several years ago. In fact I'm not even sure you can find a company that still offers a phone that can be mounted in the car. I used to prefer these as they had I think 3 Watts of power vs. .6 Watts or something for a handheld plus the better antenna. I made the change reluctantly but without choice and at least for my driving the handheld works fine and I don't have to maintain a separate number for the car.

Porsche still has that option I believe.
