Ipod and BlueTooth Connection

I'm thinking of buying an Ipod just for the 450h to load with music. I've always said I didn't need one and would never get one but now I'm thinking there may be an application.

Does anyone with a 2010 RX have some experience they could share re: is it BlueTooth compatible with a Blue Tooth ipod? And if so, can you get inside the folders to see what music is there to select from or do you just have to play a folder like a memory stick. I tried the stick and occasionally it want's to skip as in record skip. There are some sales going on today so if anybody has some info to share, I appreciate it.

Thx in advance

I use an iphone and Bluetooth to play music through the car speakers. I control it on the iphone with the ipod application. It works in sync with the phone just as if I was using the satellite radio.

I'm still evaluating my 1gig Memory stick. It actually holds quite a bit and seems now to be working fine. And I have a 4gig around here somewhere.

Only issue is getting it in and out of the port. I'll bet a dollar to a donught (geez, their just about the same price now) Lexus will have that port on the dash by next year.

or get a usb extension cord that you can just leave in the port and thread out through the little hole. Apple has one of those, I'm sure there are others.

I just purchased at Wall Mart a Retractable USB 2.0 kit. Plug one end into the USB port in the console. The cable/cord is actually on a small retracting gizmo that works on both ends. Memory stick, Ipod or what have you can plug into the other end. It comes with 4 adapters to plug into just about anything. The best part is the price $15. Works great. It's under the Phillips brand name.

My in-plug is now in the console and reachable.
