Bluetooth - incoming call question?
I have a 2006 GS300 with NAV and ML, and a LG Versa phone. Here's my problem...when a call comes in it does not ring just the NAV goes from MAP/Audio to Phone but stays quiet. I have tries all settings in my phone and have been to Lexus and they coudl not fix it. It does not matter if I have my phone's ringer on vibrate or volume up ringer.
I have just had my car at the dealer in the last few weeks getting a few things done and they gave me a RX350 and a IS250 to drive. On both cars when an incomming call comes in it turned off whatever was on in the NAV/Audio and it starts to ring unlike my GS.
Any ideas or thoughts?

I just paired my phone with an 06 GS w/nav-lev and when the call came in, the audio cut off, the display showed an incoming call and my phone did its vibe/ring. You may want to have someone else pair their phone and see if reacts like yours.
try a 2007-2009 gs with gen5 system. if they ring, that means it's gen4 problem (your nav)
i know on a lot of gen4 system (ls430, sc430), when there is a call, it doesn't ring somehow
your loaners are all either gen5 or gen6 (2010) systems. try it on a gen5 gs and you will know for sure

It rings on a gen5 or gen6 as was evident on the 2010 loaners I drove. So it is a gen4 thing, huh?!?!?
It's just strange how when the nav/audio cuts off there is no noise or anything and for a few seconds I'm like what the heck just happened or is going on here until I realize I have an incomming call.

I have a 2006 GS with standard sound system (no ML, no NAV). With my Crackberry, the car's audio cuts out and it only lights up on the screen as Incoming Call. No ring. My old Samsung I think would ring (don't remember).

phone can definitely be a factor, but i still believe generation of nav is a problem too. especially gen 4, it was the first generation with bluetooth i believe, it was quite buggy when they started (i had 05 sc430 with gen4 nav). gen 5 was greatly improved
like i said, the easiest way is to test your phone on a 07+ gs with gen5, if it works fine, then that means for your particular phone, it's the gen4 that's causing the problem
i have seen a lot of my clients with gen4 nav (other lexus) and a lot of them complain about this issue
