Lexus tells me that the Blue Tooth feature will not work with the Apple iPhone. I am not going to lay that kind of money out if it doesn't. From what I can find on the disuccsion boards, no one knows the answere, including Apple. They said you have a 14 day return policy, try it and return it if it don't work.
Does anyone knows the answere to the question? My Motorola Razor V3 works great with Bluetooth feature.......
Help?

I have a 2005 Lexus SC430, and it works in my car, albeit with a couple of caveats. You can't load your phone book into the car, and there is sometimes a loud feedback noise that lasts for a couple of seconds at the beginning of an outgoing call before the connection is made. It will probably work with the RX. I'd buy it and give it a shot if you don't care about the phone book thing. As you said, you can always return it if it doesn't work

My wife has the 2006 RX330 with navigation package. Her phone is the Mororola V-3. I added my iPhone as a second phone and when I select the iPhone as the desired phone, it works just fine. The phone book that I set for the V-3 works for the iPhone, including, the one touch numbers. I originally set her car and my Land Cruiser up for the Mororola V-3 and the numbers had to be entered one at a time. At the time I set up the 04 Land Cruiser, I remember reading that an old model of a Sony Erickson could download the numbers all at once. The trick was to replace the Sony Sim with the V-3 sim and use the sony to enter the numbers. There may be other phones now that can do the same. Go back to lexus or Toyota and see if you can find a phone that works the same (and has a compatible Sim) you can just borrow one and switch sims or get one from a flea market or EBay. The phone does not have to have an active account. I know that the V-3 will work one at a time. I just found on Google that the Sony 300i from ATT will load all at once. Take a look at this URL for other possibilities, http://lexusbluetooth.letstalk.com/product/findProducts.htm?pgId=100&dontshowdef view=1&model=RX
