Default Is anyone elses Bluetooth

dropping the bluetooth connection from the cell to the car after about 2 to 6 calls made. I have a 3rd generation Gs 430 and a 700p palm cell. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The bluetooth connection works fine thru the car for a few calls then my little bluetooth icon changes color and the connection drops. After this happens I can not connect back unless I turn the car off and then back on and it will then connect back for a few more calls before it drops again.

Sometimes the phones aren't compatible. I know my LG Venus isn't. It can still connect but it will randomly disconnect and re-connect. =/ You can try going through lexususa.com, and click the Bluetooth symbol somewhere. It will take you a screen where you can input your Model and year and phone model and it'll say if it's compatible.

As others have said, it's likely your phone. I have a LG-VX8300 through Verizon and have had zero problems.

have used a couple of phones not on the compatibility list that work fine. If you can, take a friend with a phone on a test drive and try the link with another phone. would agree with others, likely the phone.

I've never had to re-connect my GS460 bluetooth to my iPhone. Works flawlessly every time.

My Motorola Q, Razr v3 and Samsung Sync all work flawlessly, and the quality is actually quite good (both ends).
