Bluetooth - and yet another thread... (phonebook transfer)
Ok, so now I am using Sprint as my carrier, with the Motorola Razr V3m - this phone is compatible with the LS-460 according to the Lexus website.
The bluetooth features include phone book transfer. Although the phone is paired with the car, when I press the transfer phone book button on the nav screen the phone gets disconnected.
What to do?

That's what happens with my t-mobile blackberry. Disconnects each time when trying to do the contacts/phone book transfer. I understand that this means the phone book transfer won't work. Hope you find a work-around or that someone else has a better response.
You might trying looking at the howardforums.com regarding your exact phone to see if there is any helpful detail there.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!.... After a lot of frustration I found out how to transfer the phone book.
1 - Press off-hook button on steering wheel to access phone menu
2 - Select "phone book"
3 - Select "transfer phone book" - your phone will disconnect - that's ok.
ON YOUR PHONE:
1 - Select "Contacts"
2 - Scroll to the first entry to transfer
3 - Select "Options" (your menu may vary, my phone is sprint razr)
4 - Select "Select Multiple" (your menu option might be different)
5 - Select all the entries you want to transfer
6 - Select "Send Contact"
7 - Select "Hands Free" (or whatever you called your car. In my case I named it Lexus LS-460)
All selected contacts will be transferred in less than 1 minute. (I had around 300 contacts)
The annoying part is to select all contacts on the phone one by one. My phone doesn't have a menu option called "select all".
Note: Even though the phone disconnects when you select "transfer phonebook" at the nav screen, it will connect again when you do the step 7 above.

Proper way to send all your contacts from a phone to any car is by using "send all contacts via bluetooth" (actual wording varies from manufacturer to manufacturer of course) command from your phone (not from a car) to receiving device that has to be HANDSFREE
It works all the time.

Also, when using non Verizon carriers, some phones only allow transfer of one contact at a time. An example is the Motorola V600 which I use with AT&T.
