gav_logan Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Hey all, what's the deal with these? Can they be activated? Are they on an analog network? Cheers - Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 they are probably analog, but that still works. I would assume you could get it going. Contact Lexus or the maker of the phone, ie: Nokia or whomever makes it. You may have to bring it (the car) to the phone store. Does it get power, light up, etc? steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gslx4s Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 The factory system is an anolog set-up only. The trouble is finding a service that only offers anolog signal. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Analog service is also very expensive, plus now that carriers aren't required to also provide analog coverage, the coverage area shrinks monthly. In my opinion its not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav_logan Posted May 31, 2003 Author Share Posted May 31, 2003 Nah, we phased out the analog network in Aus. Dang. Looks kinda cool tho B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 i dont think it should be too had to buy a new in car kit for your car and mobile phone that you currently have the main things you would be using still is the mounting location the speaker run throguh the audio system right door speaker and the mic plus the buttons on the steering wheel should not be too hard or expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamT Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 In New Zealand we still have an analogue network ( as well as GSM digital) I have recently acquired an ES 300 with the fitted car phone & find its great. I have set it up as a prepay system. My main mobile is a digital but when I'm in the car I simple divert all incoming calls to the car phone and make full use of the hands free system & steering wheel controls to receive calls. Costs me nothing extra. I I wish to make a call i simply use my hand held digital ( after pulling over - usually). It works a treat. Great range as the car mounted has a booster amp for much better coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Can anyone recommend a good handsfree speakerphone setup (not a headset or earbud etc.) for under $200.00 that can be mounted in the ES. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 first question or problem is whta phone do you have so you would be able to get a kit check with the manufacturer of your phone for a kit already made like nokia has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
