Thanks in advance.

Be warned you can't transfer a whole phone book from the Nokia to car in one go - you have to do them one at a time. Easiest thing to do is to go to lexus dealer and ask them to transfer it for you. They usually carry a phone that will do it in one go.

I have a Sony Ericsson P800, once i managed to get the phone and the car to recognise each other (your dealer should have done this at the point of collection) I merely went into my phonebook, slected file and "send this folder" it then gave me the option to send the file via various media; i chose Bluetooth and hey presto!

Make sure there are no gaps between your telephone numbers otherwise these get cut off during the transfer!

With the Sony you can transfer the whole contact list, but not possible with the Nokia 6230i.

Anyone know why....this is the phone i will be useing

Thanks for the info - doesn't appear that you can transfer from Nokia phones. I'll just use a friends phone to transfer the phone book and then add new numbers maually... bit of a pain though

Cheers, Matt

PM me your email address matey, I will send you the Lexus compatibility chart (PDF)

If anyone can "pin" the PDF to the forum it would be good...

Hi Jamboo ,

i have seen the compatibility chart and the nokia 6230i is listed but this phone book D/L apparently doesnt work fully.What i need is a list of phones that DO FULLY work

[Scarlet Pimpernell]

Koshime used a K750i (Sony Ericson), and I am sure he stated it worked well.

The Sony Ericson w800i is the one to get - all features plus MP3 player to plug into your Aux socket... B) :winky:

PS - that's what I want for my birthday...

I have a Nokia 6310i which pairs OK, calls etc fine, but the phone book download is a waste of time. I have manually entered my numbers in...Gave me a chance to "feel" my car longer...!

[Scarlet Pimpernell]

Just to add, I do not believe any Nokia works fully...

Some give you more features. Forexample Battery life and signal strength, which for my Nokia are "blank".

Someone must have a phone that does all this...? If so which one...? I'd like to change mine too!

Hi Matt.

It is a function of the mobile phone and not and Lexus. As Jamboo said, you will probably find most of the Sony-Ericson will send the whole phone book at one time. I have a Motorola E398 and it will do only one entry at a time and I believe this happens on all Motorola. Seems like the Nokias are the same and only one entry at a time.

Put your address book on the Sim card and transfer the Sim to a phone that will send all entries, and transfer to Lexus. Again, has to be a phone with Bluetooth, of course.

My Lexus dealer offered to do it for me.

Good luck.

This is de phone to get:

W800i

and for £209 PAYG it's not too bad. You can put MSticks Pro Duo's in, upto 1GB each...so that space for loads of MP3's...

Dunno if you can plug the phone strainght into the Aux though

[nicnac]

[Scarlet Pimpernell]

Just found an interesting article.... use a Bluetooth enabled laptop to transfer your phonebook to the car.

Do this using outlook etc..
