thanks..thats what I figured..I was just wondering if there is some genius tech person out there that can beat that disabling issue that verizon is making us suffer with

Actually I have the new motorola E , everything is fine except for that ring issue and the pain to download the phonebook

I had the LG and I just traded it for the motorola E815..with the LG you wont be able to see the signal strength bars in the car and your radio volume wont lower when a call comes in..you wont have this problem with the motorola..if you want to download the phonebook you have to either borrow a friends phone with a different carrier and download your book from there or you can go to a local cellular auto place and they will probably do it for you for a small fee

I have the 2006 gs300..bluetooth works fine (had to download phonebook from a different phone because my carrier is verizon) but the phone in the car wont ring..have to listen for the ring on the phone..does anybody have a fix for this problem? thanks

motorola recently sent software upgrades to the carriers that allow you to see the reception bars in the car as well as turn the radio volume down when a call comes in..You should take your phone to your carrier to perform the upgrade or upgrade the phone to the new model..I have the newest model motorola with verizon..I cant figure out how to make the car ring when a call comes in..the volume lowers but I have to listen for the ring on the phone,not in the car...I have every other problem figured out with the phone except for this..Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Thank You

Ed: There currently is no workaround to this issue. I have spoken with Lexus engineers and they have confirmed they are working on a solution with Denso, the OEM manufacturer of the Nav/BT system. The rep. did say there would no solution for the '06 model year but would likely be adddressed in the '07 models. When I inquired as to whether a firmware upgrade would be made available for our systems ho said he had no info. as to whether that would be possible. The other issue you will likely encounter with the V710 or E815 (I own both) is that there will be no audible ringer in the car . . only the handset itself will ring. Congrats on the new car . . . ← The phonebook problem is not with LEXUS, it is with Verizon. Verizon blocks the OBX option on the Bluetooth Phone. This option allows you send contacts/files via bluetooth. (They claim the reason is because they are not pleased with the performance - the true reason, is because they don't want you to send pictures via bluetooth for free...they want you to use the VZ Picture Mail and charge you) The only "workaround" is what I did - buy a cheap phone on ebay and use that to import. As for the ringer, it is annoying that it doesn't ring - especially since I keep my phone on vibrate. If you keep the radio on, it's okay though as it mutes the radio and you know you have a call. ← the only way right now to download ur phonebook is to borrow a blue tooth phone from somebody , not with verizon or sprint.. enter your phonebook list, sinc it with the car and then connect back to your phone..the phonebook will be entered and you can use it...if your phone #s change the car list wont change
