Hi All

Have an earlv version of LS430 (Jan 03) and would like to know if is possible to add Bluetooth technology to intregrate with the Sat/nav screen, as in the new model. Lexus support does not seem to be bothered to answer the question in depth, replying no to all questions. Surely its only a question of upgrading the software??. I do have the Lexus fitted phone but it only works with a motorola V50.
and even that has to be a lexus version.

Where theres a will, theres a way....

I'm sure Colin or someone will be along to answer your question shortly

Hi Jff! Noticed you were reading your input aJUST as I was!! Noticed the 'Liverpool' bit. Was there-in my LS400 only 2 weeks ago (I'm originallyfrom Walton!) Good luck with search!

And sure enough!! HERE'S COlin! What a lovely community this is!

I wouldn't think it's just a case of upgrading the software. There is the bluetooth receiver and aerial to consider. These are probably built-in to the new sat nav unit rather than a plug in module so I doubt you could just upgrade.

Thanks all for the info.

To Colin I would ask if is possible to fit new Sat/nav Unit.
The screen is the same so is it not just a case of poss fitting comlete hardware unit? or am I missing something. ( set myself up there )!!!!!!!1

Anything is possible but even if all the wiring is the same and the new unit just plugs in it will cost you around £2000 for the unit so it really isn't worth it. If there is modified wiring etc then you would be looking at hours of labour costs on top.
