Smile Audiobooks via bluetooth for 2010 IS 250

Hi All,

I'm new to the Lexus family so go easy on me. (LOL) I just bought the 2010 IS 250 Black Sapphire Pearl with most of the bells and whistles.

Anyway, I have downloaded my contacts from my Evo and have been using the phone with no problems. However, I am having difficulty playing my audiobooks (no sound). Is there an additional cord/adapter I need to purchase?

Thanks for your time and I apologize if this has been posted and answered elsewhere.

i beleive in order to play any other sound besides calls, through the speakers of the car you need an av cable that plugs in your 3.5mm jack on the phone and in the same output that is located in the glove compartment of the car. i might be wrong tho.

Thanks for the quick reply MashinA. I'm going to Target this afternoon to see if I can purchase an AV cable.

That was not needed. You can most definatly Bluetooth it to your stereo without cables of any kind. That was one of the cool new upgrades to the 2010's You just need to sync up your BT device with the stereo.

Need more help? There should be a technology specialist at your Lexus dealer that will help you get it going for free!

I've got an iPod touch, I listen to podcasts (and my mp3 collection) on bluetooth audio all the time... one of the best features of the car IMO, sound quality is awesome.

Just keep in mind the BTA connection is usually different than the phone itself (guess that depends on the phone implementation). I'm not sure about that part because obviously my iPod is not a phone, so I have two devices (phone + ipod) connected to the car separately.
