Default iPhone won't play music through Stereo

Hi Gang,
I'm test-driving a 2010 LS460 and I love the car but I can't get my iPhone to pay through the stereo.
The calls and contacts work but I can't figure out how the music play from the phone.

Man wish I could be of help, but having the 08, I do not have that luxury. If you're test driving it, perhaps the owner can walk you through the process.

I believe it actually makes 2 connections to your phone: one for streaming media and one for calls. Go into the Audio settings and try to connect it through there.

213374U is correct. 2010 to 2013 Lexus added Audio to the Bluetooth but you pair it separately.
Tap the Set Up button and next to "Phone" is "Audio" While the settings screen is visible on your
phone, tap the Audio button in the car. Select register and the two will pair.

Note: you may pair up to four (4) phones but only two (2) audio devices. Your phone will be one of each.

You may use the second slot for either another phone or an iPad/iPod.
While you can not use BT for two phones at a time you can switch on the move to have the second
device play audio content while the driver's phone is still taking/making calls!

2014 and newer Lexi will now automatically pair and transfer phone books and set up the audio with
the initial pairing. They will also automatically update the phone book with each engine start, The
2010 - 2013's require that you refresh the phonebook when you add or delete listings.

Is it the 2014 model year that the auto-pairing was introduced or the 2013? (I thought the 2013 and 2014 were pretty much identical).

Thanks,

It's all working. And I bought the car.
