Default Bluetooth question

my bluetooth works fine on my LS but i can't load my phonebook from my iphone 6 to get contacts in thr GPS unit. Is there a way to manually add a few contacts so you can press a button and SAY "call Alexis or mike etc?" On my acura TL you could manually load contacts and it saves the phone number with the name you say. Is this not possible on the LS430?? I find it hard to believe you cannot do this simple task on a $65,000 car. I looked in the manual, online etc but i got no answers. Can you manually save contacts or no?????

Apple iPhone won't upload contacts. I had to use an old Motorola RAZR phone to upload contacts. There are a few (old) existing threads on the topic.

I used an app call "Bluetooth file transfer" on my Android phone and it works. I do not know does it available for iOS devices. It took me a while to figure it out, someone in this forum posted a DIY do a search for it.
