Default Bluetooth Integration with Sony Ericcson s710a???

Anyone know if this phone can be mated with the bluetooth? I just ordered a 250/RWD/MT/NAV/LP/Spoiler this week, and was wondering if I'll have to get a new phone in order to integrate or if I can make this one work.

Generally, all SE phones work well with Lexus over BT. Generally...

I've got the s710a paired with my 250awd- so far no major problems. My only complaints are that the name isn't always displayed when someone is calling (can't figure out a pattern either), and that it takes a good 30-40 seconds after turning off the car while still on a call for the phone to realize it is no longer connected to the car and transfer the audio to the phone. Both of these could be issues with the car and not the s710a though. Just FYI I was able to send the whole phonebook to the car as well.

1. Caller ID is only displayed when the car is not moving. (My #1 pet-peeve).
2. That happens with any phone with Lexus BT in the 2IS. Hit the 'Transfer' button on the NAV screen before turning off the car. (This transfers the audio back to your handset).

Cheers,

Does this still happen even with the navi-hack?

The moving versus not moving thing will make you crazy. You also can't change routes or way points if you're moving. I would have thought a warning would have been sufficient rather then locking out these features. With them locked out you can't even let the passenger make updates for you unless you stop moving. I also thought it was weird that you don't have to be in park, just not moving. Another eccoterrorist safety feature.
