Iphone- Blutooth controls?

Thank you for posting the "secret menu". I checked my nav version, and it is indeed 3357. My RX350 build was 6/2010.
I haven't tried the USB method with my IPod yet since I had such a hard time trying to connect it. I have been using the Aux method for the IPod. I had read about folks having a hard time with their menus, playlists, etc so I didn't pursue getting the USB in.
Thanks to the helpful advice for checking the nav version, I think I will attempt the USB method again since I believe it will work for me. Fingers crossed. Now if only I can get to the outlets easily.

In my dealer's show lot, the cars with the 357 version also included a USB and a 12 volt extension cables that were plugged in in the deep console and up to the armrest. These cables were not in my 350 version. The cables make hook-up easier. Although I bet Radio Shack has them.

No, I don't play soccer!
I'll have to check what nav version I have over the weekend. Maybe the iPod issue can be resolved once and for all.
Regarding the extensions, I had posted TSB information on them back in July:

The dealer hasn't contacted me yet to say they're in but one of the parts guys saw them so he knows they exist. To me it's not a priority so I'll wait until my next service appointment later this year. The USB cord from Apple has been working fine.

Thank you!!!
I finally connected the USB (and the console did have the extensions!). It is awesome. I can't wait to drive to work tomorrow and have my tunes, books and podcasts available on screen. It's made my decision not to renew the sat. radio come true.
I cannot tell you how invaluable this forum has been for a newbie like me. I've been reading all the posts from the last year (on September 2009 now), and learning so much. The pointers, and even the complaints help greatly.
It was especially helpful to have the pictures and instructions to go to the menu to find out my nav. version.
Thank you to the forum members for your tips and pointers.

Wait, let me see if I understand this. I should be able to take our 2010 RX350 w/navigation into the local dealer along with this TSB and get the iPhone integration issues resolved? Please tell me that's the case because my wife (the RX is hers) feels that the iPhone integration is pretty worthless in its current state.

Just re-read the thread and now I think I get it...so the difference seems to be in the version of the nav firmware. With 350 the scrolling issue exists and with 357 it's fixed. Is that correct? I'd misread and thought folks were saying there was a TSB to fix the issue, but I see now that the TSB is for something else.
So can I just tell my Lexus service rep about the issues and have them verify that I'm on the "broken" version of the firmware, then try to get them to upgrade the firmware to fix things?

iOS 4.1 is out and it enables AVRCP
Now you can skip tracks via Bluetooth with your steering wheel controls. Still no artist info on the screen, but this is better than it was yesterday...

iPod Touch via Bluetooth, on a Nav-equipped RX
For my situation - Canadian-market RX 350 with nav, build date 2010 April, iPod Touch connected via Bluetooth, iOS 4.1 - all I get is a "play" icon and a "pause" icon on the screen when connected via Bluetooth. No track listing, no artist, no "next track", etc.
I haven't checked the firmware version of my nav system (3350 vs 3357), but I "assume" that my problem is that I have 3350?
I'm confused, and disappointed I can't get this to work.

I confess this message thread has been difficult for me to follow - iPhone vs iPod Touch, Bluetooth vs. USB, nav vs non-nav, etc., and every permutation and combination thereof.

Upgrading your iPhone or iPod to iOS 4.1 will (finally) give it AVRCP capability. This means you can skip tracks with your steering wheel or dashboard buttons. Only play and pause show on the screen still.

(Hint: Your serial number would begin with the letter "J".)
