For the life of me, (and the owners manual is even less than vague), I
can't figure out how to transfer my phone numbers from my cell phone
to my address book in my RX400h. The synchronization doesn't seem to
work. Is this something that only the dealer can do?

And, since the only way to set up speed dial it seems, is to xfer my
address book, I can't set up speed dial either.

Has anyone ever successfully done this and if so, how?

tks

Some phones (mine included, from Verizon) won't work with the Bluetooth
technology in a Lexus. I've discussed this several times with Verizon. They
admit it won't work because of some design they did on purpose, but are
never able to tell me why they did it...very frustrating.

that's what I feared. After doing some research, I think the fastest
and easiest way to transfer the address book (since there's not even a
way to manually enter them in), is to just buy an old, used phone off
ebay or craigslist from another carrier that has bluetooth and address
book transfer capability. Then, enter in the phone numbers I want,
sync up with my car and transfer the numbers over. Fortunately, I
won't even have to subscribe to the other carrier to do this.

Verizon has a notorious reputation for crippling their phones. If it
weren't for their coverage, I would of left them a long time ago.

I think the combination of Verizon and Lexus is what does it. A
friend with a BMW has no problems with his Verizon phone.

I bought an old Siemens S56 on eBay for $9 and use it just as a tool to
load/update my phonebook to my Lexus. A cheap and easy-to-use tool.
