I use bluetooth with my 3G iphone often (long commute) and never have heard a buzzing. hmm.
However, when I started, I had several peeps claiming they couldn't hear me so to improve sound quality, I messed around with the "Bluetooth transmit and receive volumes".... no more complaints. I'm out of town, so I can't look where I wound up setting them, but I can look when I return home in a couple weeks if you are still interested.
Several posts discuss how to get to the adjustment menu. Eg. just search for post titled:
"Another interesting Service menu found! (adjust bluetooth sensitivity)"
(sorry, I don't know how to link up other posts)

once on the page select, Phones, SmartPhones and then IPhones and it will walk you through the rest.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Nope. The Lexus line REALLY lags other brands when it comes to electronics. It's really disappointing. I'll likely be in the market for a new GS class vehicle next year and this issue annoys me so much that for the first time I will be seriously considering non Toyota/Lexus cars. I mean, why should we have to put up with these limitations?

And we still have all the limitations on using the GPS when moving, etc... that other brands don't have. Lexus COULD do a much better job here, but they aren't.
