Searched the forum but couldn't find a definitive answer, so...

Anyone using a Palm Centrino (or Palm Treo 755p) with an '07 or '08 GS? According to the Lexus site, a Centrino (when using Sprint Wireless) is compatible with a GS Bluetooth. But with Verizon as my carrier, is there a reason why I shouldn't expect the same compatibility?

Thanks.

i have a treo 700p paried with an 07 GS430 with Sprint as my carrier. i couldn't pair the phone for awhile but then Palm put a firmware update on their website for my treo 700p and it specifically stated that if i did the update the phone would work with Lexus (denso) and BMW bluetooth systems. check palm's website out. i suggest checking to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your phone. you will have to select the appropriate carrier if there is an update available. but as far as the actual hardware, i don't think it matters if you are with sprint or verizon or whoever...i think it is just the phone and the BT in the car communicating that matters...might just have to update that phone. good luck.

i have a 755p that i use with my 08 but it's sprint.... however i doubt it makes a difference. should work

I would not expect the carrier to make any difference. The phone "manages" the connection with the carrier and not the car. The bluetooth only manages the connection between the phone and the car.

FWIW...I was able to bluetooth my new Palm Centrino (using Verizon) w/o a problem.

Hey guys - I just picked up my brand new 2007 (yes 2007). I was able to pair my 755p from Sprint very very easily and it has been working flawlessly. I wish the screenwould show the incoming caller so i dont have to ull the phone out of the pocket before deciding to answer!

I have not yet looked into downloading my phone book into the car...anyone have experience with that?

i have my verizon 755 paired, works fine. I dont know how to down load the entire phone book though I would love to hear!

I cannot link my Palm Centro with my GS.
Any ideas?

If you load your phone book it will show the incomming caller on the screen if they are in your book. I have my 755p paired no prob.

Palm Treo are a bit tricky, to make it compatible with the GS you do the connection as always. But if you notice it will just keep on searching for ever and not sync to one another. I noticed that once you have done all the steps and on the palm treo it will say done, make an outgoing phone call and that forces it to hook up to the car. Try that if the update does not work. And the palm treo will transfer over your phone book.
