I recently got a new iPhone 7 plus and I'm trying to connect it to my Lexus IS 250 (2008) but the phone is not finding the car's signal. Do you know how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Do you have the stock system? I though 2008's don't have bluetooth

They have phone bluetooth functionality, but not A2DP support for music playback if OP has the nav system (If it counts at all, I have no issues connecting my 7 Plus to my 08). AFAIK, the non-nav does not have BT at all for this year.

Assuming you do have the nav, you are doing the pair function on the nav, right?

I have a navigation system. I recently bought an iphone7 and I can't set it up in my car for Bluetooth.

The bluetooth is totally working fine for phone call and ofcourse not music streaming

This just happened to me with my new to me IS. Phone worked but no streaming music.
The issue was I had to delete the phone associated with the previous owner before adding mine.
I believe it was:
Setup - Manage phones - Delete Phones
delete all phones including yours then re-add it
note: i also read online ppl having luck with resetting their iphone (but i didn't want to lose my settings)
settings - general - reset

A 2008 IS does not support music streaming, only voice calls.

I have a 2102 IS and an Iphone 7 and having the same issue. Phone over Bluetooth works fine but if I want to play my podcasts through the speaker my Bluetooth Audio will not connect.

I'm assuming your IS came with the blue tooth to connect the phone and you were able to connect your previous. If so, I would delete all phones that the car has had linked previously. It's possible there are too many phones. I believe there is limited around six or eight devices. If they phone doesn't connect, you can try rebooting your phone or resetting it. You can also try clearing all the settings in the car's settings.

If you're talking about the streaming audio via blue tooth in your car, that feature wasn't implemented till 2009 or 2010. You'll need to get an adapter AD2P for it. There are plenty of posts on various options that will fit your budget and wants.

go in and delete the old devices and re pair the phone back to the car. it should fix it

If you want to play music via your Bluetooth, you would have to pair your phone under radio mode as well. Basically, you would need to pair your phone for phone call and audio playback
