Bluetooth In 99 Gs300

[GSspeed]

does anyone know how or where to get the bluetooth option for the GS so that a bluetooth cellular phone can be used wirelessly in the car,

also, has anyone seen a mount that comes out the side of the radio so that no drilling is required to mount a phone cradle in the car..

it kinda looks like one of those GPS mounts that comes out the side of the radio

thanks

The best solution I have found for a car mount is the cup holder to cell phone cradle adapter. I have one for my PDA (to use GPS via the Pocket PC) and it mounts perfectly from the cupholder. It can be a little cumbersome, but a better solution than drilling holes in the dashboard.

I'd doubt it would be feasible from a cost or technical standpoint to retrofit a Lexus Bluetooth interface. There are other Bluetooth kits from Nokia, the CK Parrot, which might work for you although they are not at sophisticated as the Lexus Bluetooth which a lot of people seem to be complaining about anyway.

Regarding the bracket, a very similar bracket was used by a Cingular installer in both our 90 LS and 98 Camry to position our Nokia handsets to the right of the radio. I think we were charged about $15 each for it. Two approximately 3/8 inch self tapping screws were used and they were so short that there was no worry about coming though the visible side of the console. Bolting the radio/ventilation unit back into place also contributed to holding the bracket firmly in place. One thing I have noticed about the "no-drilling" brackets is that they are made to mount where the designer thought the handset should be positioned. I've seen some that, when mounted as designed, blocked the air flow from a vent. I didn't particular care for where the installer mounted the bracket in my LS and it took only a few minutes to pop out the radio and reposition the bracket exactly where I wanted it.

Sometimes I think we need a separate forum category for phones!

Actually thats worth thinking about lol...

[GSspeed]

then we'll be a multi discusion forum, everything from cars, to phones, sounds good hehehehe

as far as the mounts go anyone have pictures or companies where they would sell them, the guy in europe is for XM radio, i just want a little stub for a phone mount..

The "VSM Legend Series" bracket at http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/ looks interesting.

Panavise brackets can be seen at http://www.panavise.com/

You might try calling a phone installer in your area. I had a choice of several bracket styles from installers in the Kansas City area.

I'm a little new to this forum. Has anyone discussed how the built in phone is wired in a 99 gs400? I would like to hook my phone into that wiring. Schematic anyone?

Thanks

welcome to LOC, BEEZER

as far as the special wire diagram, i have not found any diagrams, but i did find a bluetooth plug in cigarete lighter, for about $120.00, on ebay but thats about it, like 1990LS400 said, they tend to be a pain to install and use, according to him so ihave not experienced it my self but if thats the case then i would rather not get it.
