I purchased a brand new '08 460L, and I have had it for a month. The car is great, however during the past week, I have continual problems with my bluetooth phone. The phone is a Samsung Blackjack, and the service is Cingular, however every time I get in the car now, I am prompted on my phone to "Connect with Lexus?" When I press yes, it connects for about 5 seconds, then disconnects, and then my phone prompts me again with "Connect with Lexus?" Sometimes it auto-connects or disconnects during a call, which is obviously very frustrating. Yesterday, I was on the phone with my wife (over Bluetooth) and the Lexus Link started ringing while I was on another call. The lady came over the speaker and asked how she could help me and I told her I didn't call her, she had called me! She apologized, hung up, and then of course, the bluetooth went out, and I had to talk to my wife on my actual cell-phone.
This never happened during the first three weeks of the vehicle, and this never happens on my Jabra earpiece either. The only thing I can do to solve it (temporarily) is to turn off my phone and restart it. Then it will work only during that trip in the vehicle, however if I come back later in the day (even and hour later), it acts up again unless I restart my phone.
Anybody experienced anything like this, and/or have any words of wisdom? It is a great vehicle, however it is a shame to have to mess with something as frustrating as that. I don't know that it is a Lexus problem, but I feel like it is given the whole Lexus Link call issue, and the fact that my other bluetooth devices have never experienced difficulties of this sort with my phone.
