Compatible Mobile Phones Ls430

[NeilP1960]

Had the LS430 (2005) for three months now and very pleased with it. Currently using an Iphone 3GS blue toothed to car system but really annoyed that I can't transfer my address book from the apple to the Car and so have limited ability to make a call or answer an incoming call via hands free. I could but a portable blue tooth clearly but just wondered if any members knew of a compatible phone (re connectivity & data transfer by blue tooth) that I could use solely with the vehicle?

It could be me I suppose and not the Iphone?

No, it's the iphone's useless Bluetooth that is at fault. We have a number of Fords at work which link up with phones via Bluetooth, and then will display all phone numbers and names on a list so you can ring them and take calls from them. Except if you have an Iphone when it won't-not unless the Iphone has had a "jailbreak" done on it (risky). To check it is not your car, get someone else with a Bluetooth phone in your car and get them to link it with the car to see how it should work. And it will work with any Bluetooth phone.

I had an Iphone for three or four days before I sold it and went back to my Nokia N8-the Iphone wouldn't let me transfer (by bluetooth) music, photos or contacts between it and other phones. Useless in my book.
