First time poster, so please go easy on me.

Windows Phone:
Does the ES 350 pair up well with Windows Phone 8.1 (Lumia 920) ? Has anyone used Windows Phone Bluetooth to pair with the car and have had any issues?

Display:
Does the display next to the odometer show the "next turn" (right/left) from the Navigation route? Say the navigation says "take a right turn in 300 yards"; does the display near odometer show a right arrow?

Hope the questions are clear

 

windows phone works well via Bluetooth and you can even load up the contact pics.
music also streams well.
However there is no enform app support.

 

Thanks bootman.

How about the display ? I saw in Toyota Avalon that it shows the "next" direction arrow.

 

Negative, on the display by the odometer. Just on the nav.

 

Ah.... Thanks Mike.. disappointing that they couldn't add this feature in a $40K vehicle.

 

You'll notice that the nav is much higher in the ES, vs. the Avalon. Not seeing the dash arrow display as a necessary feature on the ES, due to this.

 

The next turn arrow along with the distance to the next turn is displayed on the navigation screen on the ES.

 

At times, the nav screen display is too hard to look at during busy traffic. It would be much better if the oddo screen shows the next arrow, IMHO.
