Sups Rock....

Denso is actually an Toyota owned supplier, spinned off in 50's so it can work with other companies as well (as Ford tried with Visteon). It makes most of higher tech equipment sold in Toyota/Lexus's, such as SatNav, hybrid components and much, much more. In fact, more you look around, more "Denso" you will see.

It was also named GM's supplier of the year, good ol Toyota, eh? :-).

Just a comment on the V710 from Verizon, while I am annoyed that it doesn't support all of the functions on my Lexus, it does support all of the functions on my BMW. Perhaps Lexus may also be at fault for the incompatibility.

I have a nokia 6820 & a sony/erriccson t637 and the both work great in my '04 LS430 & the '05 RX330.

I see that Verizon now has the Motorola E815 (bluetooth) available ... Has anyone tried this in the RX330? That is, can we download the phone book?

I assume the Navigation and Blue Tooth are the same in the 400h. Before getting the car I researched which phones and service work best with the Lexus and then selected Cingular. I I have a Razr and my son has a motorola 551 which work great. However, I did have to put the address book entries in one at a time from the Razr.

This seems to be the topic of the day on every Lexus forum on the internet.
Based on what I have read, Cingular subscribers have been very successful using their bluetooth phones in the 400h. There have been specific references to the Treo 650 working well as long as you have the V1.08 software on your phone.
Other providers' phones will work but in most cases your phonebook has to be transferred manually to the Lexus system.
I assume the system in the RX330 is the same as the 400h.

WDNL

No hope on the Verizon! So ... can't download the phonebook and the phone doesn't ring thru the car speaker ... rats!!! BUT, does anyone know how you could add any phonebook entry without downloading? I can't see where you can add incoming or outgoing calls into the phone book ... or tor that matter, I can't see where you can add phone book entries anywhere, except via the phonebook download which doesn't work ....

Anyone? Anyone?

thank you ....

I am looking for some direction on how to connect the E815 phone to the bluetooth system in my RX330. Can it be done? Service is with Verizon.
Thanks

annetteha

Can you tell me how you got the E815 to connect to the bluetooth in your RX330?
Thanks

I recently picked up my RX330 and immediately paired it with my Motorola V600 on the Cingular network. Frankly, I didn't have any doubts that it would work, primarily because I've been using the same phone in my Acura TL. since November 2003.

One very nice feature that is not well documented in the Lexus manuals is that you can transfer phone entries to your car, e.g., if I have an entry for John Smith in my phone, I can SEND it across to my RX330. This creates an entry in my RX330 Telephone Book for John Smith.

Yes but what sucks is that you cannot manually create a phonebook entry in the RX. You either have to call someone manually then add them to your list from the recently called list, or beam them across from the phone - unless there is some hidden feature I can't find somewhere. Also, you cannot edit the number, name, or anything at all onmce it gets in there. It always beams across the CELL or HOME or whatever category name at the start of every entry from my phone as well, so all my phonebook entries are truncated until you actually select them. Would be nice to be able to edit that out of the entry but there is no edit function. It does work seamlessly with my V635 however and sounds very clear.

I completely agree with your analysis and assessment. The RX330 Bluetooth implementation is primitive, at best, and its inadequacies are mirrored in the Navigation implementation as well. As I mentioned in my prior append, my other car is an Acura TL and it's a step down to my RX330 Navigation/Bluetooth. When I drive my TL, I can talk to the climate control system, talk to the radio, talk to the phone interface, dial and receive calls, all without ever taking my hands off the steering wheel. I don't remember exactly, but I think there are 245 verbal commands available from the driver's "console," thus you can focus on your driving without having to look over at the dashboard.

Hmm you might have overlooked the radio commands. You can switch from CD to AM to FM, change tracks, change discs etc even turn it on or off.

SteveRX330

Perhaps I did. Thanks for pointing it out; I'll take another look tonight. In the meantime, here are some of the TL commands I compiled into a jip sheet and tucked away in my driver's door for easy reference. I enclose them here as an example of the richness of the TL's functionality. This is what I would have expected from Lexus. I love my Lexus, but sometimes you crave features in another.
