Yes I get that buzz too.

Anybody?

You could try putting your SIM in a non iPhone and transfer the contacts from it. Once they are in the car's address book they will work with the iPhone. You have to do this one by one on most phones, but there are some Sony Erickson's that will allow you to transfer the entire address book.

It is possible that this won't work if the data is on the SIM and not on the phone. Possibly other people would know the answer to this. I have not needed to do this since I already had my contacts on the car from my Razr.

I used a RAZR bluetooth for years with the same system and never experienced that.

Anybody?

I own a 2006 Lexus GS 430 and I too experience that high pitched buzz. Quite annoying if you ask me. Not everytime, but more than half of the time. Any solutions?

In my RX400h the phone rings you don't hear it through the system. However, in my 2008 Lexus IS you hear it through the system and I haven't had the issue with the high pitched sound.

I just bought a Lexus RX350 which has the capability to upload my phone contact list via bluetooth. It recognizes the iphone but askes for me to trasmit the requested data and I don't know how to transmit it from the iphone.

Does anyone know?

Thanks,
Tom

See the post a few before yours from iFunk and my reply about how you can upload contacts. Basically, you can't from the iPhone.

I have 2004 LX 470
OLD PHONE
SonyEricsson K850i
Worked fine if dialed from car screen, but when dialing from phone there was no dialing tone, and I couldn't hear the first few seconds after the person I was calling answered. But all in all it worked fine.

NEW PHONE
iPhone 3G
I can't get the iPhone 3G to work on the LX470 at all!!!
Any help would be appreciated.

I just got it to work. Follow these steps:

On iPhone:
1) Go to Settings
2) Go to Reset
3) Select "Reset All Setting" (Make sure you save passwords. Data is safe.

On Car:
Select "Info"
Select "Phone"
Select "Bluetooth"
Delete all previous pairings

Once iPhone reboots, turn on Bluetooth.

Pair as usual

It worked for me.
