iPhone Contact Transfer time
How long did it take for you to sync your phone book to the LS460? I have Cingular service and just got the iPhone. I set up the transfer and have waited for over 40 minutes and the screen still shows transferring. I have close to 500 contacts but did not think it would take that long.

I have over 750 contacts and it took me less than 1 minute to transfer them from Treo 700 to the phone book in the car. You may want to cancel this transfer and try again.
Good luck

iPhones bluetooth is crippled and can only connect to a headset. You can't connect iPhone with any other bluetooth device.
Sorry, you will not be able to transfer your contacts to your LS from your iPhone.

My iphone works fine in my IS350. The contacts won't transfer, but the display shows my battery life and the recpetion of the phone. I had an AT&T 8525 that did neither of these.

Exactly, any car bluetooth is recognized as headset by any phone and you can connect with it without problems. When it comes to transferring/sharing data iPhone's bluetooth doesn't have a profile for it (or its software disabled) so unfortunately it can't transfer contacts to your car or any other device.

Maybe a solution could be to get your phonebook on any other cell that has bluetooth and than do the transfer to your LS. After that just use your iPhone with your car.

In both cars, the auto's themselves automatically read the entire address books of out Blackberry's (8300) and my new iPhone. BMW's don't store the address - they just download the data on the fly when you start the car - very quick and works perfectly.
My wife's new IS 250 however is as you all have experienced - it does not support the BT protocol required to initiate the download on either the Blackberry or iPhone. So Lexus can actually address this by implementing whatever BT protocol BMW does, and it will read the addresses everytime you enter the vehicle (or one can hope that RIM and Apple add a address book send feature)
