Mobile Phone Campatibility

[Ragsy]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if the following mobiles are compatible with Lexus m/m? (2008)

Samsung Tocco

Samsung Innov8

I've checked the Lexus list that is floating around, but these phones are new and are not included on the list I've seen.

Cheers

Doh! That title should be cOmpatibility!

Forgot one - what about the Samsung i900 Omnia? Is that compatible?

Hi,

I know that the older Samsung D900 was compatible.

So I see no reason why the new one wouldnt

The only functions that may not work is:

Contact data pushing - thou on the move you cant scroll thru contact

Battery/Signal status on screen - If you have no signal you cant dial anyway!

Otherwise the Bluetooth system should work fine

My dealer supplied me with a PDF file 2.5 years ago, yours may do the same. It was 100% up to date at the time...and did show full, partial, or no compatibility for phones with all Lexus cars...

The newer generation of phones are having compatability issues with hands free devices. I have had to buy a new kit for my V8 as it is only recognised by Bury systems. Rather embaressing when I've sent two replacement handsets back for failing to connect to my old device.

Just for the record.

Got my upgrade handset - an Omnia - it will connect but the connection is basic and no transfer of phonebook etc. Why don't they just use one standard for Bluetooth connectivity?

I recently switched to a Samsung Tocco. The phone paired up without problem to my Lexus GS450h (which uses the same Bluetooth 2 system as the IS), showing signal and Battery strength. Although I havent tried to transfer the phone directory as when I paired the phone it automaticaly matched it to the phone directory already in the car. I would mention the phones Bluetooth functionality was a little tricky to get to work, particularly with the the Parrot kit installed in my other car, but that is off course something you only need to do once. I was told the Samsung Omnia should work, although I had that phone for just a couple of hours and gave up. The touch screen seemed too complex and temperamental, particularly compaired to the admittedly simpler and lower specification Tocco.
