Have you discovered that this is true? Does anyone know if the fix needs to be made by Apple or Lexus?

Thank You

It works just fine. If you dial from the handset or from the car system, it places the call. If you dial from the handset, though, the person on the other end won't hear you for a moment or two while the system switches. Bottom line, it works pretty well. First time you dial from the car every day, though, it makes the BUZZ that we have grown to hate, which gets less and less as you make other calls.

I had a blackberry before the iphone, and transferred the phone book from Outlook to the Berry to the car. That phone book still works for the iPhone! Am wondering if I can transfer data directly from my laptop to the car, or if i need to borrow a Berry and go through the transfer steps to get the updates on the phonebook into the car.
