I have been reading all the Treo forums and this forum with little hope I would get my Treo to work with my IS350. It did not work with my wife's 2005 GX470 either.

Well, I bumped into a firmware update for my Treo 650 (Cingular). Please be very careful that you only use the correct updater for your specific Treo. I found mine here:

http://www.palm.com/us/support/downl.../cingular.html

One of the items fixed in the list is:

- Optimizes Bluetooth performance for some Motorola headsets and other car kits.

It also had this from an earlier update I already had installed on my Treo:

- Carkit Update for Treo 650 (Bluetooth carkit drivers).

Anyway, after installing the update, I went out to my car, started the car, and my Treo asked for the pairing password! I typed it in and they connected immediately! I was able to make and recieve calls through the car with no problem. I'm hoping that it continues to work this way - it was fine for an hour on the way home.

One warning; make sure to read this page here:

http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/W...ase=obj(25000)

This lists certain applications that cause trouble with the firmware updater. I had Butler installed and running, and when it got halfway through the update, the Treo was locked in an infinite reboot, and reboot, etc. until I did a hard system reset and erased all data on the Treo. Not to worry because I had already done a backup before the whole process. So after restoring all my data and getting back to the way it was in the beginning, I disabled Butler, and ran the updater a second time successfully.

I actually got my aftermarket Chinese-spec Motorola phone to pair up perfectly. Weird huh?

my treo 650 is weird. It worked fine the first 2 weeks i had the car, but since then I haven't been able to make it work. I've given up trying...

I've had no problem since pairing up my Treo 650 w/my IS350. Of course I can't download my contact list (or don't know how to), but for phone functionality, everytime I fire up the car, the NAV screen displays 'Bluetooth Connection Succcessful", and I send and receive calls just fine.

Got my Sprint Treo 650 working via bluetooth right away. But, I too had trouble with downloading contacts until I found this on the Treo Central site:

http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...d.php?t=100266

Even though the instructions are for an RX-330, the procedure works just fine for my IS350.

One note: The Treo Central page states you can only have one phone number per contact, however, my car allows two per contact. If a contact has three numbers, it creates a new entry for the person. So, if you have a person with three phone numbers, there will be two names listed in the Lexus phone book — one with two numbers and one with one number.

Good luck!

Thank you so much!

Mine worked right away...though it is slower to sync up than my blackberry 7520. Also, for some reason I cannot see the number that is calling me, whereas with the blackberry I can. The Treo takes longer to ring as well, it takes a couple of rings for the rings to be heard via the speaker. The Blackberry rings right away.

I wish both units could sync up at the same time, it is only one at a time. I have to choose wich one to sync up, kinda sucks.

That's good, great find

A TON of people need this from what I've read. Maybe post this in the GS forum as well because I know there are a lot of Treo users in that forum that have problems with it as well.
