I bought my wife a VW Touareg 012 to sit up higher and 4wd for our winter snows. The Bluetooth is super clear and more than loud enough. How is the clarity on the 04-06 bluetooth equipped LS 430? My premium now has 180k on it the VW has 14k on it I would be lieing to say I like my LS better but I really don't like it any less even with the mileage difference and now that the suspension has settled a little its kind of like you guys who have lowered your cars.

I may just pick up a newer LS then and get Bluetooth as I drive 30k plus a year. Really want to put 300k on my Premium, is there any decent aftermarket bluetooth phone setups? I remember something called Parrot which looked pretty rinky dink.

In a recent post you said "Nav I can get from Garmin": https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ss-option.html

Does your Garmin not have Bluetooth? I was planning to install a Parrot MKi9100 in my 00 LS400 when I finally bought a smartphone and uninstalled my ancient Nokia phone kit a few months ago. The Bluetooth handsfree of my inexpensive Garmin 2495, however, turned out to be more than acceptable although it would be nice if it muted the radio like a hardwired phone kit or OEM Bluetooth.

I posted a photo of my bracket mounted Garmin in the above referenced thread. I hate using a portable GPS attached to a windshield and dealing with its power wire.

And there are always those sun visor mounted Bluetooth speakerphone kits ...
