Blue Tooth & 2005 SC430
Hi all, I'm new to this group and also new to a 2005 SC430 which I love.
I have a question. I have th e2005 with the navigation system. I believe I read a post here that the 2005s have bluetooth. Is this true.? When I purchasde my car last week, the dealer said that only the LS400 has the bluetooth. Those of you who have the 2005, do you have the blue tooth capability.

The 2005 SC430 has BT, but not all devices will work. Lexus requires that OBEX is working in the device that needs to connect. Unfortunately some devices have it disabled. One example is the Verizon V710 phone. The phone will link and work with the exception of exchanging the phonebook. There are workarounds for this so it pays to experiment. I have the V710 and the 2005 SC430 and I found how to get the phone book uploaded....messy, but it can be done.

BT Campatability!
The 2004 LS430 and LX470 have bluetooth. In 2005 the RX330, SC430, LS430, GX470 and LX470 have bluetooth, IS300 GS 300/430 and ES330 do not in 2005. In 2006 the IS250/350, GS300/430, RX330/400h, SC430, LS430 GX470, and LX470, the ES330 is the only 2006 that does nto have bluetooth. All of these cars have bluetooth only with the navigation system with the exception of the 2006 GS300/430, it is standard on that car.

Thank you all for your replies. I found it very informative. This guy was some salesman. I have owned previous lexus and I have 2 relatives who also own the Lexus. I received my 2 master keys and a valet key. When I had purchased my previous lexus I received a small plate with the number for the Key, should I need a new key. The 2 people who I know also received the key plate #. I contacted the salesperson and his reply was that "we don't always get the plate". . Is there anyone out there who didn't get that "key plate" with the number of the key .
Thanks again to all.

Key Plate
The key code number should also be on that black credit card looking key that comes with the car. Or go to the lexus dealer in the service dept and ask them to look it up by the vin number and order you a new one.

Like I said, messy but it works. Spending the $35 bucks was a reasonable investment considering all the frustration and time I wasted realizing there was no way to upload the data directly from the V710. Thanks Verizon for crippling the phone, the class action against you has gone national, can you hear us now?
If you live in the SF Bay Area, I can let you borrow the T68i. I also found that I could upload the phone numbers from a Palm T3 to the T68i and then to the SC. But Unfortunately I was not able to link the T3 directly to the SC.
