Send iPhone contacts to Lexus RX 400h address book using a MacBook Pro?
This may the wrong place to post this, but perhaps it will catch the eye of other Lexus owners who have come across this problem.
Since the iPhone has no way to send contact information via Bluetooth as required by the Lexus address book system, I was wondering if it might be possible to spoof the Lexus into thinking my MacBook Pro was a phone, and therefore allowing me to send the contacts via Bluetooth (perhaps using some extra 3rd party contacts transfer software too?)
I guess there are a few questions I would need to answer before even trying it out. Does anyone know what contact format the Lexus is looking for? For example the format the Blackberry uses works fine, so I guess I would need to be able to send in that format, what ever it is.
It seems likely the Lexus would not recognize a MacBook Pro as a capable Smartphone and would therefore perhaps not offer the option to transfer the contact info. However there is a small app in the Developer Tools called 'Bluetooth Explorer' which appears to allow you to change the software setup of the onboard Bluetooth hardware so it appears as a Smartphone. Anyone know anything about that?
Any constructive ideas appreciated, thanks.
P.S. I am aware the simplest way is to get another compatible mobile phone such as a Blackberry or Sony Ericsson phone to do the transfer, but since I don't have one to hand, I thought I would look into this option.
