It 'should' be.. I have a buddy with one and when i get a chance, I will try to test it out for you. Hopefully sometime this weekend.

I am trying my best not to get an iphone, but damn they are awesome. I used to work at the 3rd largest mobile carrier in the US and it would more than double my monthly bill, not to mention I would have to use ATT.


Found this website

http://lexusbluetooth.letstalk.com

according to it the iphone is NOT listed. I believe the major gripe is the lack of phonebook transfer which is a device limitation, but it should work for calls

It takes about 5 minutes to hack/jailbreak the iphone. I bought my wife one online directly from Apple. I used a software called iLiberty. Just load it, click a button on the screen and it does the rest. Now you can use it with Tmobile. Get the $5.99 tzone and you now have unlimited web access anywhere.

I've got an iPhone and a 2004 LS430. Works okay, but there are little quirks. For example, it does not send ringtones through the car's speakers like my Nokia E61 did. Also, I sometimes get feedback loops when doing some outgoing calls. Otherwise, it works well on the sound quality/consistency of connection fronts.

Mine iphone work fine with my 2004 LS 430 Bluetooth, only issue I have is the iphone is sensitive to humans if too close to your body (ie.. in your pocket) the connection is full of static, and secondly I get a annoying tone when initiating a call, but its fine after that.

Default iphone connection

On your iphone, you should have successfully pair the iphone and your car together. Having it done once, all you have to do is to go to General in iphone and turn the blue tooth on. By doing so, iphone will always be automatically paired to the car when you turn on the ignition.

I have Audi Q7. My iphone can pair to such vehicle automatically. I also pair to the blue tooth headphone and many other devices. My wife has a Samsung blackjack, which does the same thing. We never turn our blue tooth on the phones off. Hope this help. I don't have LS, and I'm often on the ES300 forum.

Has anyone figured out how to get rid of that annoying tone when initiating a call? Does the iPhone 2.0 fix this?

Big news! With iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS, the "static feedback" sound when placing a call has finally disappeared! If you haven't updated yet, do so as soon as you can, and you'll be happy with the results!

Also with iOS4, the ringtone is played through the front left speaker.
