I am able to PAIR my Motorola Droid cell phone with my 2004 LS430 UL ... with no issues.
Now I am trying to upload just a portion of my phone book - so I can take advantage of my 1-Touch Dial feature. As much as I would like to have my entire phone book in the car... I will settle with the (18) contacts I want to have as 1-Touch dial entries.
Interestingly enough - the phonebook entries from my prior phone (TREO) are still listed in the phonebook... and will work, now that I have switched and paired to the Droid. But... I have some NEW phonebook entries that I want / need on the 1 Touch dialing.
I downloaded Bluetooth File Transfer from the app store ... and created a CSV File which I was able to save on the Droid. The CSV File has (2) columns:
CONTACT , PHONE NUMBER
John Smith, 3301234567
I can initiate the File Transfer by going into Information, Phone, Settings... I can see the connection, and it begins to transfer ... but then I get the message "Transfer Failed".
So - now I am stuck.
Do I need to create a different CSV format??
Does the file need to be saved in a different file type??
Is there any other way of doing this??
I am pretty confident that there is no way to simply MANUALLY ENTER the Contacts and Phone Numbers (which is seriously insane, but I digress.)

Although I don't have an answer for you, I feel your pain.
I couldn't upload anything with an iPhone. I had to upload individual contacts with my Motorola Razor. Spent about an hour and half in the car doing this.
Fortunately, I knew that I only had to do this once. Knowing I need to add one contact every now and then isn't going to kill me.

Is the Navigation for LS430 the same as the IS250? I also own a Droid and was successful at transferring all of my contacts to the phonebook using the Bluetooth File Transfer from the app store. I'm not sure what a CVS file is but, all I did was export my contacts to the SD card and then used the app to transfer it over to the phonebook. The contacts file should be listed as a VCF file.

Then used the Bluetooth file transfer app to connect to the Lexus. The transfer showed 30 files uploading ..but all 400 contacts were transferred.
Worked great
