My 07 GX470 is awesome in many ways, but the factory bluetooth IS NOT one of them. I get much better performance out of my 09LS460 bluetooth. Flawless actually. I often have people tell em it cuts off, and skips, or has long pauses where they cannot hear me, and I end up having to go phone to ear to finish a conversation, which defeats the purpose of the feature.

Ideas on a fix for this? Upgrade available? Retrofit?

thank you in advance...

Someone correct me (no Bluetooth on a 2004..), but I believe the microphone is in the sunglass holder. If so, opening/closing that over the years may have stressed the wires to it.

I have a 2006 Lexus GS300 with factory Bluetooth and all the latest apple iOS updates pretty much rendered that Bluetooth useless. I reached out to Lexus but these units are not made for updates. I installed the USA SPEC BT45-TOY in the GS300 and disconnected the factory Bluetooth. I now have a perfect connection and Bluetooth streaming, I can even use my steering wheel controls. I did the same with my 2004 GX470 and love it in both vehicles. The only drawback if you want to call it that is that there was no way to use the factory mic so I have a small mic in the drivers side upper hand upper corner of the windshield away from my view. I had a local shop install it but you can pick them up for about $150 on Amazon. Good luck!
