That is not true. If this handsfree kit worked properly, it would allow for the voice recognition from the phone to be integrated into the hands-free device. It would also allow you to dial from the address book on your phone since it's all but impossible to transfer the contents to the Lexus bluetooth. It would definately allow you to hear the ringing before the person answers causing a major delay and lost calls.
I love my GX but am surprised that Lexus has such a horrible bluetooth system integrated. After having the car for more than a year I was hoping an update would be available to correct these issues. My dealer (Germain) in Columbus, OH blames the blackberry and not the Lexus. They have told me to either buy a different phone, install a 3rd party bluetooth kit or use the nav screen for dialing. While i agree these are all alternatives, it does not correct that fact that my phone was listed as being compatable with the GX BEFORE I bought the car - only to find out that it is not compatable at all.
Germain has also told me that there are *never* updates made available to the bluetooth system. Is this true?
