I have a GX470 bluetooth question.

When you are on bluetooth through the GX NAV system and get a call
it goes in the speaker phone mode.

Unless you come to a complete stop your can not "Transfer" the call
to the phone headset.

I guess they do this to encourage people to use hands-free.

But this is a pain if you have clients or friends riding in your car
and you get a personal call because everyone in the car can hear
it, unless you come to a complete stop and then hit "transfer".

Yes I know you can disable the bluetooth function when others
get in your vehicle, but that's also a pain.

My question...is there a way to disable....via a code....via programming
...ect the "come to a complete stop" to enable the transfer button?

Thanks for any input.

Found this on another site. Anyone ever try this to solve the problem?

"The only way i know is as follows, there should be a wire going to the hand brake all you have to do is ground it so the unit thinks that the hand brake is on all the time i did this with an aftermarket unit i put in my GS430 sport"

Go into your phone and disconnect from hands free that way--on my I-Phone I can do this in 2 steps, only takes seconds and Im not hooked up anymore

Booyah....thanks....I may try that until I can find the solution....I also emailed this e-Bay seller to see if he knows anything for the 2009 GX.

itsZep, do you know how hard (or easy) this is to install?? For $26 it's a steal if it works.

Get the Nav override kit. All you do is push a button (all functions work as though you are parked), then push transfer on nav screen and the call moves to handset,
see my post in LX570:

Prestigious Society sells a Lexus DVD/Nav Override kit for the LS & LX - (maybe for all the cars in the line) I have used it in only the LS & LX. This Kit gives you all the functionality when moving as is available when the car is parked--DVD, phone, destination, etc. Priced in the low $300.'s, installed in back of the NAV unit with a trigger or toggle switch to the dash. Works great! Other posters on this thread have purchased it also and there is much about this unit on LS board.

James....no I don't know much about it. I e-mailed the guy on e-Bay and he has not responded yet.

I guess this is the unit Sid is speaking about. I called them and there was no answer. Thanks Sid.....I will look into it further.

This is not the Ebay rip-off! These guys have a web site and are a Club Lexus "Sponsor". This really works.
