I understand what you're saying but my phone is the only one that has ever been connected to the car. The car still has my phone in the listing but the bluetooth connection for some reason doesn't work sometimes when the car is started. The phone has to be re-paired and the contacts re-loaded every time it happens. The issue is sporadic with my car and, from what I gather, does not happen witih every LS.
Hopefully Lexus will have an answer, and I'd like to be able to clue my service people into this.

Easy answer: not with the iPhone. I have a 4s and it connects fine with my 2009. But it will not transfer contacts. Don’t waste any more time trying. I tried everything. Everything. I had way too many contacts to enter them by hand. So I asked my IT guy for an old, discarded android phone (no service). He had a Galaxy 4s with a cracked screen lying around. I sync'd it to my laptops Outlook contacts and then transferred them to the LS by paring the Galaxy. I still had to download the Blue Tooth File Transfer AP for the android and use it to transfer the contacts file, but it worked. I then deleted the Galaxy phone from the LS’s phone list. Now my iPhone 4s pairs and I can use the car to dial the numbers in it. New contacts will have to be entered manually.
The hoops I had to jump thru were ridiculous. Sad for a car with so much technology.
