Anyone that has an Iphone--can it transfer the phone contacts into the 470 contact list? Ive clicked on the transfer and says waiting for transfer--but I cannot get the phone to send them.

No, the iPhone cannot transfer contacts via Bluetooth.

That sucks--The wifes BMW will suck the contacts right out of the I-phone and load them all in seconds into the phonebook, has to be the function setup of the Lexus interface

You are correct. Just bought a new '09 X5 and a new '09 GX470. The BMW had the contacts immediately. Can't do it on the Lexus.

I really appreciate that Lexus wants everything to be perfectly reliable as far as the electronics go, but this is almost 2009, the technology is there. BMW and Audi are light years ahead of Lexus on the technology side.

We had 2 GX's and I would have replaced them with 2 GX's if that stuff was there. Since my wife doesn't care about the technology, she wanted another GX. But I had to go with something that had my gadgets.

I love being able to use all of my iPhone's capabilities, the satellite radio interface, the iPod usability, and being able to enter addresses on the nav while driving (by the passenger, safely of course).

Really...hmmmm

NexVision

Or HTC or crackberry --- Iphone is garbage. Get a real phone..

So nobody has gotten the Iphone to transfer contacts into the Lexus Nav?

scottcohen

Correct. I have the same problem. iPhone works great with my 2009 GS350 for calls, but contacts do not get transferred.

So if you have a blackberry with bluetooth can you do it? and how?
I can receive and make calls but did not know how to transfer the phone book

It is an iPhone issue, not Lexus. I gave up my Blackberry for iPhone. I can live with it. Iphone's are so much more fun. Do you real need 1000 contacts in your car. Just voice dial on the phone itself. Easy! Also, I'd much rather have a Lexus than a BMW or Audi!!!

Lexus 4 ME

Lexus Nav. compatible with BlackjackII, and Motorolla Q9, AND many more. For complete list you can visit lexus website, but not the Iphone.

Why not just buy a throw-away phone (or find one laying around the house), add your contacts, and be done with it? I realize it's not perfect, but it's a start.

The iPhone is not crap, it is still the best all around phone that started the mainstream touchscreen cell phone revolution. But enough on that. Shame on Lexus for not automatically detecting the contacts like BMW does. Even if the iPhone could transfer contacts manually, shame on Lexus for making have to be one at a time. However, an upcoming release of iBluetooth for a jailbroken iPhone should add this functionality. It already added A2DP music streaming and file transfer.
