Ringing Tone When Bluetooth Connected

[ebzoid]

Hi All, we've just acquired our second Lexus (I already have an RX350 SE) - a 2005 (05) SC. The car is fantastic - love it! There is something we haven't been able to work out though: when connected by Bluetooth to the built-in hands free, the phone itself rings, but the SC's hands free does not ring. This is, ofcourse, fine when the phone is NOT on silent, but if it is, there is no sound notification that you have a call. The radio mutes, the touch-screen displays the incoming call, and you can answer the call etc. absolutely fine. The manual just says that the system will display the call "with sound" but nothing as to how to set/change that "sound"! Does anybody have any idea as to what we're missing? All suggestions gratefully received. By the way, we've tried using a palm pre, an Iphone 3GS and a blackberry, and the results are the same as described.

Thanks in anticipation.

Our 05 SC rings from the car OK. Have had 3 different phones and all are OK.

Only problems we have had are when 2 phones are entered into the car the first phone stops working.

The address book download does not work

There seems to be no way of deleting numbers!

The 05 SC was the first to have Bluetooth I believe so the Bluetooth is first generation and some phones may not be fully compatible.

Thanks, Paul. That does sound like a reasonable explanation. I think we'll try and borrow an old non-smartphone SE or Nokia and try it out.
