Default Bluetooth changing security code question

2011 LS 460 with Nav

I have programmed abut 60 numbers into my car.

The Bluetooth seems to be working just fine, however everyday when i leave work my phone s not recognized because it has recognized another phone. OnceI re-establish my phone it works fine.

I am wondering if the generic Bluetooth security code that Lexus has is allowing other phones to link to my car and then my phone disconnects.My parking lot has quite a few Lexus

I want to change the security code but wonder if I do this if I might lose my contacts I have entered

Has anyone changed their code successfully on their phone and if so how did you get the phone to re-link

You just need to go in and delete all other phones, the system doesn't pair to phones just using the pin, the pin is just a way of establishing that you are adding your device at the time of setup.
