Bluetooth Incompatibility

[GGinPA]

We recently got new smart phones (Verizon Motorola Moto X android phones) and discovered that they do not work with bluetooth in our 2006 RX400h. We talked to Verizon, Toyota, and Motorola and gotten nowhere. Lexus gave us a list of compatible phones, all of which are no longer available. We have one suggestion which was to get a specialty shop to upgrade the bluetooth/GPS system, but we can't find such a place.

Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions out there?

We have a 09 RX350 and my wife's Droid Mini works! ( only 2-3 years old) . I have the MotoX will see if it connects.

I would think they are backward compatible

Our Windows phones (currently, HTC 8X) work, perfectly with our 06 RX400h. I recall that we paid a bit extra for this service that updates the list of compatible phones, each year. We haven't had to use this service in quite a few years, since we have never had a problem with our last two generations of HTC phones.

GGinPA, Any chance you figured this out?

I too own a 2006 RX400h and just bought a LG L34C Optimus Fuel Android Smartphone with Android 4.4 (KitKat) OS. The phone connected and it worked as far as linking and dialng out thru my carphone system, but there was no audio. Then I noticed I heard a phone ringing on the LG phone beside me. I later looked at my phone settings and it was set to"use phone for audio". So, I deselected that but didn't get a connection today.

Thanks in advance people

Haven't been able to pair my iPhone with my IS. Worked fine with my previous phone. Tried a few times and everything spins forever. I just use the speaker on the phone.

I got mine working now. First when I paired the car and phone (LG L34C Optimus Fuel Android Smartphone with Android 4.4 (KitKat) OS) there was no audio on the carphone, but the call conected and I heard it on the phone next to me. Here's how I got it to work again and work properly,

- Delete the "L34C" CELLPHONE from the carphone menu under PAIRED PHONES.

- Open Bluetooth Icon on CELLPHONE & delete "BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE" on the cellphones menu of bluetooth devices.

- Turn off car completely.

- Start pairing again (to do this select add phone from carphone menu and the 4 digit code will appear. Tap BLUETOOTH HANDS FREE in cells list of devices to begin pairing process. Enter the carphones 4 digit code into the phone after it's recognized as a "bluetooth device located" and listed on the menu). It took me two times repeating the whole process before it worked out. So be patient, you are not the problem.

Had some time airport waiting so I figured it out. I had my previous phone and iPad synced. Deleted both of the and it worked. Apparently you can have only one device paired.
