patt Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 I'm looking for a phone that will be compatible with my RX400H bluetooth. My coverage has to be with T-Mobile and the lexus.letstalk.com site doesn't list any T-Mobile phones as compatible. Any experience with the Motorola A630 and Lexus Bluetooth. That seems to be the smallest Bluetooth phone from T-Mobile.

My coverage has to be with T-Mobile and the lexus.letstalk.com site doesn't list any T-Mobile phones as compatible.Any experience with the Motorola A630 and Lexus Bluetooth. That seems to be the smallest Bluetooth phone from T-Mobile. ← T-Mobile has a couple of BT Nokia and Motorola models that will work. I sell Lexus vehicles via the Internet and am the proud owner of a ThunderCloud RX 330 with Nav & Bluetooth. As a current Treo 600 (T-Mobile) Smartphone user, I anticipate the arrival of a the new Treo 650, but I'm not holding my breath. After much research and trial and error, I have two solutions in one for a number of those out there seeking to upload their entire phonebook(s) into the Hands Free Link in a Lexus. Sony Ericsson T610, T616, T630 (Unlocked), T637 (Cingular) or T68i (discontinued)! 1) Transfer your entire phonebook from your current BT or conventional cell phone to a desktop (laptop?) PIM or database app for editing. 2) Edit out all phone numbers EXCEPT the one(1) that is most critical for reaching that contact. The Lexus HFL will accept only one(1) phone number per contact record. If you leave multiple numbers in each record, the system will probably grab the wrong one or none at all. If you have another number that is important to have in the vehicle's phonebook, create a separate record with that unique number. Ie., John-Cell: 555-123-456 vs John-Home: 555-654-321. 3) Upload the newly edited phonebook database to your bought, borrowed or stolen :) Sony Ericsson BT phone (above) via Bluetooth dongle, Infra-Red (IR) or data cable. 4) Set up the phone and car to pair. Then transfer the entire phonebook in one fell swoop. If you do not have instructions to assist you with the pairing procedure, try: http://lexus.letstalk.com/bluetooth/lexus/t637_bt.pdf You can add new individual contacts one at a time with your Motorola, Nokia, Treo or Siemans phone later. Never, ever select "Overwrite" on the Lexus setup screen or you'll wipe out the phonebook you just created. Now you can add your new phone and have the multi-contact database to dial from on-screen. If you buy the Sony Ericsson, keep it as a backup. Good Luck, ContactPro
