Verizon BlueTooth: NO phonebook transfer?!?
Can anyone out there clarify this for me? We have no problem getting our phones to pair with the car and they work perfectly for calling. However, we can't get our phonebooks to transfer from the phone to the car. Our salesman told us that Verizon phones do NOT permit this...

The salesman is correct that the VZW phone will not upload via bluetooth the entire phonebook from the phone. Manual input is needed into the LS phonebook but it actually goes pretty quick and works like a champ when you have what you need in the LS's phonebook. Be sure to record a voice tag for the ones you call most frequently so you can dial by name via the voice recognition system.

Recently verizon has released a firmware update. Supossedly it allows BT connectivity on the treo 650, but I updated it, and it stile DOESN'T work!!! Man, Verizon needs to do something about this. Actually, it is worse now. My treo doesn't recognize the Lexus anymore. Very frustrating. If anyone gets it to work, please advise. Thanks.

Whn you go throgh the process to pair the Treo with the Lexus it will probably hang up at some point as if the car and the phone do not see each other. When that happens and while the Nav screen is still showing a problem connecting, dial a phone number on the Treo handset and push send. The call should go through the car system and speakers and the Treo should pair automatically after that.

As others have stated, VZW cripples BT on most of their phones. A common gripe on howardforums.com from customers.
Might want to check out the Lexus BT site as well: http://lexus.com/models/LS/accessori...l?s_ocid=30033 Link posted already I see, so it's redundant
