Question 2005 ES330 Bluetooth issue

I just got my 2005 ES330 and it came equiped with a voice navigation system. Of the features listed is Bluetooth Technology. I asked the dealer how to use the Bluetooth as I could not find anything about it in the manual, and I was told to just sit in the car and try pairing the phone with the car. Well, I did that, and the phone indicated it did not locate a system.

Does anyone know how to activate the Bluetooth on this model, or where it is mentioned in the manuals (either the car manual or the navigation manual)? I would really appreicate some help.

Thanks in advance.

Is it the stock navi unit? I was unaware the 05's had Bluetooth, unless it is an aftermarket add on.

Everything is Stock. I noticed other models in 2005 came with Bluetooth, and the sticker that listed the features on this automobile did list Bluetooth, but like I said before, I could not find a reference to it in the manual. I purchased this through CarMax. I wonder if they made a mistake when they listed it?

I m pretty sure. there is no option of Bluetooth enable in ES330 05. And I completely agree with ramy comments. If you own a ES330 05. I have a latest DVD for Navigation release7.1. If you be interested send me a private msg at sheis786 at yahoo.
thanks
