HELP,
Need advise on what PDA or POCKET PC type phone will work great with the 2005 GX470 nav unit. Anyone out there that has had luck with one of these phone types? If so, please list the phone type & the carrier that has your phone. Thanks :cries:
Just purchased a V551 phone to work with the GX. Could not find a PDA style phone that would mate well with the Hands Free system in the GX. It seems that all the PDA style phones I tryed, would either be recognized by the Lexus Bluetooth system & not transfer any phone book entries OR not be recognized at all by the cars Bluetooth. So, for Now- CINGULAR-Motorola V551 Bluetooth Flip Phone will have to suffice till the Bluetooth Market stabilizes and becomes more user friendly. The V551 Phone
1- Will mate with the GX-470 (2005) Bluetooth Nav unit
2- You can send & receive calls through the Nav unit & cars speakers.
3- You can transfer 1-phone book entry at a time (still playing with this)
4- Haven't figured out yet if the Nav unit allows inputing stored phone numbers MANUALLY- I dont think this is a option? If someone has more info on inputing a phone number MANUALLY & STORING IT, would sure like to know how!!!!

! piece of ADVICE- If considering a bluetooth phone-
Take the car to the Cell Phone place, and have the salesmen bring a SECOND phone with him to the car along with the phone your thinking of buying. He'll use his second phone to test receiving & sending calls from the New Phone through the Cars Bluetooth. Also have him input some phone numbers in the phone you want to buy & see if it will transfer the phone numbers to the cars Nav unit. I drove numerous salesmen crazy I'm sure, but when I got home I knew what I was getting!!!!
