From everything I've read regarding bluetooth, only some phones are fully compatible with the system. Go to Lexus. com and at the bottom of the page, click on contact lexus (knowledge center) then you can search for your phone model to see what is and isn't compatible. I have a Samsung a737 and only some of my features are compatible. Like yours, my transfer ability is not.

Good luck. I've been searching for how to program numbers into the system so they're already there and I can just press the button instead of having to be stopped to enter the number. :)

I disagree that Lexus would advertise the fact that the car runs just fine on regular.

I disagree, because I have seen it happen. Maybe not Lexus "corporate" but Lexus "salespeople" will tell customers that they can use regular unleaded to make the sale. Most people buying cars don't frequent these types of forums so they are not privy to these types of conversations. Many consumers don't go into the physics of octane rating, they just know that if the book says you got to use premium and premium gas is 20¢ to 40¢ more expensive per gallon, then they may tend towards a high end vehicle that does not "recommend" premium. Now, if the salesman says, "you can use regular if you have to, the engine will compensate" then the sale is most always made.

As for "Lexus recommended brand oil"..........DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THIS TOPIC AS IT IS A BEATEN HORSE. use the search function and look for a member named "monarch". DON"T GO THERE!!!!

Tranny fluid is a different story, I agree there, use Toyota T-IV or WS if it calls for it.

As for premium or regular, we have found that using a higher grade gas gives you better gas mileage, which in the long run makes it more economical. We have tried this "experiment" on each car we've owned and it does make a difference, even on an average run of the mill make and model. But, don't take my word for it.....try it yourself.

Sounds good....now all I need to do is find someone in Florida who is willing to try this on my car.

Also, am I correct in assuming this may void the warranty for the navigation system, if not the lexus?

Yes, it does void the warranty. As far as we could find, the entire warranty. That's one reason we haven't attempted this modification. My husband ordered all the specs he needed to do this mod, awhile back and after some research, we decided to wait.

all i did was, i took old dvd out & put the new dvd in place.

That's all you have to do.

Hi, I'm sorta new to this forum, but I have an 06 lexus gs300 and am looking for a new navigation dvd. My current version is an 04.2. Does the .2 represent the Generation and is that the only dvd versions I can use in my system?
