The Bluetooth system in the Lexus is not the best - and it has many "things which can be improved on", e.g. the transfer of phone numbers, which for example in a BMW is automatic.
Any way, I cannot help you with the problem of downloading numbers to your car - other than suggesting that you do them one at a time and store them as separate names (maybe by putting extra spaces at the end of each name.
Now with regards to the number not coming up when the car is moving. This is true. However, if you have the name stored with the number, then the name will come up when the car is moving (thus the reason why you should transfer numbers over to the car). Please note, however, if you transfer the number over as +44.... the name will not come up. You have to store the number as 020...
Yes, you can only dial 18 numbers (well, 17 actually as one of the 18 is a Last Dialled Number). Again, unlike the BMW where you have a keypad and can dial numbers even when moving - and can access the phone book.
Anyway, heres to hoping that Lexus come up with some upgrades to the Bluetooth system to make it more like the BMWs...

What a problem that is! All my numbers download to my phone from my outlook files on my computer and because I spend half of my life abroad, they are all stored with the 44. As the system doesn't allow you to edit the details once they are downloaded, it means getting my hands on a diferent phone, download all the numbers to it, edit them all and then download them one by one to the sytem. That would also mean if I did that, that I wouldn't be able to utilise the system properly whilsy driving in Europe. What complete rubbish! Obviously designed by someone who has never used a cell phone on the move.
Thanks for the info. I'll contact Lexus head office to see if upgrades are soon to be available. I won't hold my breath!
