I'm having the same trouble with my GS430 and Blackberry....but I can't even figure out which key to push to send a single phone entry. Can anyone give me the blackberry keystroke sequence?

What's the contact information for the guy in SoCal that does this for $150?

My Verizon-powered Blackberry Bluetooth device allows me to go hands-free in my '06 -- but I haven't figured out how to upload my phone book (Outlook).

I have a 300 and when the low fuel light comes on and I fill it up it only takes 15 gallons in a tank that is 19.8 gal. So 4.8 gal. to go

That's about the same as my 06 430.

The trip computer shows "miles to empty"...and when I'm at "0"...and fill-up..It takes about 15 gallons. I wish this were more accurate.

As far as any "set-up" -- I don't recall doing any in my '06 GS430.

Loaded CD's (as noted earlier), hit "play", and enjoyed. Going into the Audio section, and hitting surround as noted earlier....changes the accoustics.

I enjoy the sound system in the car. Really comes alive when you get into volume settings 40+...and play a bit with the equalizer.

You're right. Let's try this.

Here's a pic....

I was surprised to discover that you can't hard-key enter names/addresses into the vehicle's phone book(?!!). The only way to get entires into phone book is download from bluetooth phone.

Since I'm working off a Blackberry with Bluetooth, and have 1,500 contacts, I can't fully download all contacts into the system.

Short-sighted.

For those wondering --

20" x 8-1/2 wheels fit fine on the '06 GS430.

Also, put 245 x 35 x 20 Nitto tires on these rims, which results in about 1" taller profile on this wheel/tire combo. Fits fine.

Looks pretty sharp.

Added benefit to going to this 1" taller set-up is that it has fully corrected, the 2.5 MPH error I was seeing on my speedo (speedo has been showing 2.5 MPH faster than actual (as measured by handheld GPS). Speedo reading and reading via GPS is spot-on.

FYI.

I've had my '06 GS430 for 1-1/2 weeks.

I cross-shopped this vehicle with the BMW, Infiniti and Mercedes.

All I can say is the GS430 continues to meet, and sometimes exceed, my expectations. This is the first luxury vehicle I've purchased...and so far, I couldn't be happier. The ride, the interior, the accelleration...and world-class in my book.
