So I currently have a 2006 Lexus GS430 and was wondering if the 2007 model gs350 came equipped with streaming music through bluetooth?

A 2007 LS should have the hard drive system that will let you load the music onto the car's HD and play it from there. Bluetooth streaming didn't become standard until 2010 across the entire lineup of cars, the same year they started adding USB ports to the AUX inputs.

Thanks guys I just bought an fm transmitter. Fm signal is typically strong for me. It is strange I will be streaming Sirius xm via data and then transmitting to the car via fm lol.

Haha omg i tried doing this too! I thought if i connected my phone through bluetooth then i could play music! nope just connected it to pick up phone calls... If anything just use an FM transmitter! I noticed if i try to charge my phone at the same time it'll create a high pitch frequency

I put something like this in the armrest of my '07 LS, it went straight into the aux port:

Amazon.com : EZMAX® HIFI Car Bluetooth Music Receiver Wireless Audio Adapter Hand-free Calling Cigarette Lighter USB Car Charger : Car Electronics Amazon.com : EZMAX® HIFI Car Bluetooth Music Receiver Wireless Audio Adapter Hand-free Calling Cigarette Lighter USB Car Charger : Car Electronics



The phone sync'd to it at startup and it wasn't visible (armrest), so it worked pretty well.

When I was shopping for GS460's the navi upgrade to add bluetooth streaming was part of the reason why I wanted a '10+.

I have an 2011 with nav I can play music via bluetooth in my GS350 with both of my android and iphone devices. U need to register ur phone with ur GS form the setup menu first and also pair ur phone the usual way, its may work for u since i have an 2011 model it may be difference.
I first didnt know my GS can play music from my phone thru bluetooth. I searched this forum and found some helpful posts and thats how i got my to work.

GL thought

I have one of these....


Amazon.com : Monster RadioPlay 300 Universal Full Spectrum FM Transmitter MBL-FM XMTR300 : MP3 Players & Accessories Amazon.com : Monster RadioPlay 300 Universal Full Spectrum FM Transmitter MBL-FM XMTR300 : MP3 Players & Accessories

it works pretty well... I get a high pitch noise when i charge my phone at the same time.... finding a channel will probably be the hardest part... on the plus side probably drains less battery than using bluetooth
