Bluetooth Integration on the 4G
Those of you who have read or applied to my post (Why am I not as EXCITED as you!!?? ) already understand my uneasiness when it comes to my new 4G.
However as most of you predicted, I like the car more and more each day. With that said, the uneasiness I feel also seems to fade more and more each day. I am not in LOVE yet, but I am making progress.
As I drive the car I am discovering more and more things to like. Yesterday I discovered how tightly integrated Bluetooth is in the 4G. It is truly on another level and unlike anything I've owned in the past. Using the controls on the steering wheel or dash, I can skip forward or backwards on almost every music source on my phone. I tried Pandora (yeah i know there's an app for that ), Slacker Radio, LastFM, and a few other streaming sources. I also tried it with files stored directly on my phone and it all works!
Why is this a big deal? With other cars/suvs I've owned, I could only skip forward and backward directly from the phone. For example, if I was streaming Slacker Radio and wanted to advance to the next track, I had to wake up my phone, swipe to unlock, enter my pass code, go to the Slacker Radio application, and then advance the track. HUGE inconvenience and certainly not the safest!
The only car/suv i've owned that came close to the 4G was a 2010 Acura MDX. I could skip forward or backwards using the controls on the steering wheel or dash but ONLY when streaming music files stored directly on the phone. Streaming music services such as Slacker Radio, Pandora, LastFM, etc was a no-go.
Not bad Lexus....not bad!

Did you get to adjust your mouse input sensitivity?
