I heard something about lexus having bluetooth in their cars so it synchonizes with your bluetooth cellphone. Does anybody know if this is true, and if so, how can I set it up? Thanks

it's available on 2006 models, not sure about earlier models. if you go to your navigation telephone set up menu, find the 5 digit code and put it in your cellphone then you are set to go. lexus bluetooth system will locate your bluetooth cellphone whenever it's within 15 ft of the car or so.

What this means to us is that there is only a handful of cell phones that are fully compatible with the SC430! If you have one of the others, be prepared for reduced functionality or it may not work at all! I have a Motorola V710. It kinda works. The "handshake" seems to work between phone and car, however, the receiving end of the call hears terrible echoes and distrorted audio. My Lexus dealer in Reno, Nevada assures me that this is because my phone is not compatible. I haven't yet tried a phone that is on the approved list.
Here is a link to look for yourself. As I understand it, Lexus pays a service to test every new cell phone model and authorize which is actually compatible.

If you do have the correct cellphone, you will then need to figure out how that particular cellphone can be programmed to talk to your car. The car and the phone have to literally do a "handshake". It's not that difficult, but you need your cellphone manual.
I sure hope someone can prove me wrong on this. I really don't want to mess with new phones for me and my wife! (I don't recall reading about this limitation in the Lexus sales material!)

Good luck.

Wait so do you need to have the Lexus Navigation system with the screen to have bluetooth? My 2005 did not come with a dvd/navigation screen. I see the three buttons with the speakers right by my rear veiw mirror. What do I do to get the bluetooth to work? I just got the Nextel I870 bluetooth phone.
