JonH Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We have a 2010 RX 350 and we just upgraded to an iPhone 5. Is playing music through the system supposed to be as simple as plugging in the iPhone 5 via the USB port and selecting AUX through the sound system? When I tried that the display says Error 6. Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I don't see the iPhone listed on page 291 of your navigation manual as being compatible with a USB connection - only iPods of certain models. I think I see a statement about the iPhone not being compatible on a USB connection: http://drivers.lexus...A78A/pdf/07.pdf Have you tried a wireless audio (Bluetooth A2DP) connection? That's the only way I've been able to stream audio from our phones (iPhone and Droid) to the nav/audio system in our 2012 Prius. But I can plug a simple memory stick or SD card on an adapter into the Prius USB port and have the nav display and play all the audio content on them. I assume you could plug the audio-out (headphone jack) on your iPhone into the 3.5mm audio input jack in your RX .... I can do that with our phones in the Prius but there isn't any reason to do that since the wireless audio connection works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonH Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 You could be right. I just assumed that it was compatible since the Music component of the iPhone is (to me at least) an iPod. Not sure how to do the wireless bluetooth connection, but I'll see if I can figure that out. I don't have a NAV system. Also not sure if I have a 3.5mm audio input...never looked. You need to be a contortionist with a mirror to see where it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the photo in your owners manual, it looks like there is a 3.5mm aux-in next to the USB port: http://drivers.lexus...f/sec_03_02.pdf Pairing instructions can be viewed at https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/info/my-lexus/resources/bluetooth.do Select the "Step 4 - View Instructions" tab after inputting your vehicle and phone information.

JonH Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Got it working...not sure what was different from the first time I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Got it working...not sure what was different from the first time I tried. What does "Got it working" mean? Through the USB port? Through the aux-in? Wirelessly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
