Nope.... none of the GS's have this option, so this feature doesn't exist.

This thread is over 2 years old. Has Lexus made a change to this? Is there a firmware upgrade for it now?

My buddy got an aftermarket add on (Dice I think) for his 06 LX 470 and it connects into the factory stereo/NAV and works perfectly.

"Play music stored on your BlackBerry smartphone wirelessly through your stereo system with the BlackBerry Remote Stereo Gateway. To wirelessly transmit your music, simply connect the BlackBerry Gateway using the accompanying 3.5mm stereo cable or RCA auxiliary cable to your stereo system, turn on the gateway, pair your smartphone, and that's it!"

Oh yea sorry, you need some type or aux input to use the gateway! I'm using the " JL cleansweep" for my aux integration for my car cuz I have a system in my car. But there are a bunch of aux intergrations for the gs300 that u can use and then plug the gateway to that unit

personally I think iPod Integration Kit is better than Bluetooth, or if you wanta be cheap use the iCarplay Cassette Adaptor. With Bluetooth audio, you have to use the device to change your music vs using the touch screen interface.
