Easiest stuff first, did you have an earlier iPhone and are you familiar with the Settings/Bluetooth/pairing procedure?
When did you last turn the iPhone 8 completely off and back on? Is the LS running but not moving?
Be glad you did not get the "X"!

I am pretty sure I followed the book correctly. I called Lexus and they walked me thru it could not make a connection. No I did not reset phone.

One thing I do not understand is the passkey as to where to input into the phone .

My iPhone X mates with my non ML nav factory dash unit. I tried to download the phones contacts and while it said it was transferring I stopped it after 5 minutes or so. Nothing happened. How long should it take?

Well I finally figured out where the passkey input goes, now it is connected.

Also I tried downloading phone contacts it went on forever,so I stopped it.
