2005 Lexus SC430 0 new owner question
Hi guys,
Just bought a 2005 Lexus sc430 after poking around looking for a convertible, looked at Mercedes, BMW and 350z and settled with the Lex. paid a pretty penny for it so i'm not looking to put much more into it, runs great. looks great with 65,000 miles. I hate the wheels, the disc type but do not want to spend 2 g's on rims, thoughts on those twist caps? Also, whats the best option with the bluetooth conversion, I have nav and 6 disc changer, there seems to be a few kits out there but a bit confusing, i wan the best one, the OEM blue tooth seems quirky and sound horrible, I would like to use phone, play music from iPhone. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the club. The cheapest way to go Bluetooth is to buy a cassette Bluetooth adapter. You can find it on EBay or Amazon. Or if you want to spend some $$$.., like many members here, replace the OEM radio with the Pioneer or Kenwood or alike.

When replacing the wheel covers, put a little grease on the screws to prevent them from seizing up from galling in the aluminum threads in the wheels.
I had a few that were VERY hard to remove.

HOWEVER, if you want to access the video screen for things like dvd viewing, there is another adapter, not made by grom, that is very popular.

Do you remember where you got the twist caps from?

The 2005 came with blue tooth if your having issues with it you can go into the special hidden menu and adjust your blue tooth settings mic volume and other features , You also can run diagnostics for other things . In order to get to the special menu there are a series of finger presses you do I think its in the display menu . Do a search and a I am sure you will find the instructions to do that. Also in that menu you can override the navigation so once your moving you still will be able to input directions etc. When you turn the car off you have to go into that menu again and do the same thing if you like the override feature. search navigation override as well

The Bluetooth in your car just for the phone. If you want the music, you must go with other methods.
