From what I understand, you can download your own music (from cds) onto the Chocolate, using the music essentials kit. Am I mistaken??

Has anyone used or heard anything good or bad about the new chocolate phone from Verizon??

What Verizon Razr model do you have? I am going to trade mine in and want to make sure I get one that is compatible. THanks

Has anyone gotten a bluetooth phone recently from Verizon?? I am up for a renewal of contract and want to purchase a new phone, preferably a razr type. Any suggestions?

Where did you get the sirius lexus OEM system? Is the Starmate Replay part of this? Sorry if these are stupid questions:)

Has anyone installed or figured out a good place to put a sirius sportster system in the GX? I like the idea of being able to take it from car to car (my husband has one) but dont know where to put it in the car or how to put it in so it doesnt look chincy. Also cant figure out how the antanna would work?

SO, Lexus installed this? Just curious what that cost you and I wonder if an car stereo installation place could do it cheaper. Also, someone mentioned somewhere else on the site that they used the toyota LC sirius kit. I wonder if they are the same? [ quote name=JohnAMG' date='Dec 30 2005, 10:47 PM' post='172270] This is what the NAV SAT screen looks like after installation. I used the ES330 fit kit and Sirius module. I didn't use the windshield mount antenna that came with the kit. I use the Sirius aftermarket antenna for the roof mount. John

Who installs this kit? Buy the ES330 SIRIUS Reciever and ES330 Sirius Fit Kit (check them out on lexus-parts.com under ES330) they install into the factory harness and are controlled from the Nav SYstem after pressing the AM button twice (like in LX). Its a simple installation.

In response to the person who got a free sirius with their gx 470, where did you buy your car? and was this deal specific to your dealer? I asked mine about it (I bought mine about a month ago) and they new nothing about it.

I know, verizons a little behind, but I havent heard good things about cingular as far as service. I keep saying I will switch, but I dont want to go from a carrier where I have service almost ALL of the time to one where I cant get service at all.

Now I just have to wait for the RAZR phone to go down in price:) Thanks

So that means there is NO way to transfer the phone book,not even one # at a time? Any way around this???

The people at LetsTalk.com say that it not compatible. Who knows. I guess I will probably go with a verizon phone that someone actually has used with the GX. At least I know that will definitely work. Any other input is greatly appreciated. It was just released. Enter your ZIP code on the Radio Shack website to see if it is in your area yet. It is the only Verizon phone to have all of the Bluetooth profiles on it that are required for phonebook transfer. Also the phone forums are posting that file transfer actually works on this phone. Here is the Verizon owners manual, which shows the Object Push and Generic Object Exchange profiles beginning on page 94: http://nds2.nokia.com/files/support/nam/ph...6256i_US_en.PDF ←

Do you actually have this phone and has the phone book transferred to your Lexus?? Most bluetooth phones have the phone book transfer but that doesnt mean its compatible and will transfer to the gx470. If you do have this phone, I am curious how the phone book transfer works? Thanks The new Nokia 6256i for Verizon has the file transfer capabilities you need for phone book transfer. It is only available at electronics retailers like Best Buy and Radio Shack. http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=515 ←

Do you just dial the # on the keypad on the car (Is there one??) and then just talk hands free?? Does the car have to be in park to dial a #? Jen I also have Verizon wuith a Motorola E815. I really don't care if the car has my address book. I get in the car, the system recognizes my phone and I can make hands free calls. Why do you need the phone book in the car? I did install a phone "cup" (for power) and an extra antenna. ←

Thanks for your patience John!! This is pretty much greek to me. Once the phonebook is downloaded using your other phone and you change back to your motorola, can you still have up to 16 #s in the 1 touch dial? Isnt that the only way you can dial when the car is in motion?? We have Verizon right now and I could switch to Cingular and just pay the early cancellation fee. It seems A LOT easier:) But if I can figure this out I guess its worth it. THanks again, Jen Once I download the phonebook from the Sony phone, I choose my Moto E815 phone as default phone in the setting page and now I use my Moto handsfree. Remember when I download the phonebook I use the Sony phone as the default phone but switch to the Moto E815 once the phonebook is loaded. Once the car is in motion on the "1 touch dial" is available and not the phonebook. When the phonebook is downloaded you can choose up to 16 numbers for the "1 touch dial" function. I only wish the Lexus has the voice recognition dialing in my Mercedes. I guess you can't have it all. Regarding the sim-card. Without it the phone is inoperable. In fact it wouldn't even allow the phone to boot up. My advice is to get a cheap Sony GSM phone from Ebay and use it for download purpose. John ←

SO, once you input the #s into the sony phone and download it into the car, can you make a call completely hands free from your verizon phone (the motorola E 815)?? AND with the sim card, do you only need to use it once or is it the link thats necessary to make your bluetooth phone compatible? Sorry for all of these possibly "dumb" questions:)

One more question, if you get a bluetooth without the phone book capability can you download the #s one at a time to make it work or will not work either way?

Thanks for the info on the verizon and bluetooth. SOrry to ask a silly question, but can you describe to me how getting the other phone and the sim card makes it compatible? What is a sim card and is this whole process difficult and/ or costly? Would it be cheaper to cancel my verizon and just go with cingular? THanks

Does anyone have a bluetooth phone through Verizon that is compatible with the GX470?? LetsTalk says there arent any but I thought maybe someone here has one:) Thanks
