I am re opening this thread. anyone else having issue with bluetooth?

 

I have an IPhone 4S and about once a month the car erases all my contacts and speed dials. Very frustrating and no one seems to know why.

 

FWIW, I have a 2013 RX450h with iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 and have no issues being described thus far in this thread. It's far better than the Bluetooth connection to the same phone in my previous RX400h. ...I should add though, my iPhone is the only one being used with the truck.

 

2012 RX350 with no issues still. One iPhone 4S on 5.1.1 and one 4 on 5.1.1/jailbroken.

Both connect/disconnect on demand without issues. Whichever one is in the car connects automagically every time. If both are present the most recently connected gets the nod.

 

I have 4s, just purchased RX 400h. I have successfully connected the Bluetooth to the car and am able to make/receive phone calls, but can't seem to transfer my phone directory. I can get as far as the Data Transfer screen, but the Overwrite/Add transfer method screen never comes up. Instead it automatically disconnects the BT connection. Any ideas?

 

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, this is going to be problematic for you in a RX400h which is for the most part 2006 technology (and has relatively early bluetooth support and therefore limits what is possible with more recent phones) under the covers. I had one until just this year and loved it, but my iPhone was not technically supported for all functions and let out a wild squeal every time I dialed using it through my truck. Try this site for more info http://lexus.com/lexus/mobilelink/ and specifics including what is supported depending on the exact MY, phone and if you have Nav or not.

Good luck!

 

Thx for the welcome and the link, I'll check it out. I do have nav. I heard there is possibly some sort of aftermarket connector/device that can be used so that the iPhone 4s can transfer, but haven't searched too deep yet. I've pretty much given up. Really don't have a need for 500 contacts in the car... My only complaint now is the ones I've manually added to 'one touch' only show the phone number- I don't see a way to attach a name. Seems like it should be simple, maybe again, not possible in a 2006!

 

Right. 2006 phone connectivity is much more limited than we'd expect for a current MY. My 2006 also would not show name consistently on 1-touch numbers. You'll also find that when you're driving, you can still use the 1-touch numbers, but they will look completely blank so I had to memorize which was which if I wanted to call while driving down the road -- Lexus has made things like that a bit better with current years showing them as "grayed out" items when they can't be selected while you're going over 2-3 (or whatever it is) MPH.

Good luck with your Bluetooth pursuit and enjoy that RX! Mine was really solid and excellent for me.

 

I have bluetooth issues too. i just live with them.
