I have a 2006 LS 430. My problem is with the transfer of phonebook material from an IPHONE 6. I had no trouble with an IPHONE 5 or a Blackberry but the IPHONE 6 cannot transfer the numbers. When will this be corrected?

You have to get your contacts to an Android and then to the car via a Bluetooth transfer app. Before 2010, this is the only way.

Appears the phone book will only hold a thousand numbers, also it does not display the name of an incoming call, just the number. Any suggestions please?

This still works. Get the program made by medieval. There are multiples named the same thing. When you go to menu then choose more and then contacts my 2008 liked when I closed single entry. It loaded 733 contacts in about 2 min. Thanks for this info!
