I've got an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.0.2 and a 2014 ES300h, and the car won't read texts or even alert me that I got a new text at all. Everything else seems to be working fine, such as phone calls, Bluetooth audio, and engaging Siri.
View 3 RepliesI have a 2014 GX 460 and when I had the iPhone 5 the car used to "read" aloud the incoming text messages. This was a fabulous feature. Well, I just got the iPhone 6 and while it synced to the car easily, it no longer reads my incoming texts.
View 14 RepliesI have a 2014 ES300H and just recently purchased an iPhone. Used to be an Android guy. Now I see a feature that says Auto Read Text Messages when using my iPhine. However, the car never does. I still have to ask Siri to read it. I have the feature turned on. How to get this to work?
View 7 RepliesOccasionally when I start my car my phone won't connect and the only way to get a connection is to restart the car. Trying to connect through the system doesn't work.
Sometimes I have to restart the car several times to get a connection.
The phone is an iPhone 6.
Just purchased 5th Lexus. Still have 2004 SC430 & 2009 ES. On 2013 ES350, would like to have IPhone linked for phone only and a Samsung S4 linked as the music player. IGoal is to have both devices active at same time - one as phone and second for music.
View 13 RepliesThe Bluetooth audio works fine w/ Enform for apps like Pandora when my iPhone is not plugged into the USB port on the car. However, when the phone is plugged into the USB port (so that I can charge it) the Bluetooth audio cannot be heard. The car looks to still be receiving data from the phone, as the song & album info appear on the display but there is no sound.
Wondering if when the iPhone is plugged into USB port it "mounts" the phone as a drive (for the media player) and therefore shuts down the audio portion of Bluetooth?
I have a new 2015 Es 350 (Great car!!). I have paired an iPhone 5s to the Nav system but have not been able to receive e-mails or Text messages on my screen. I have followed the directions but so far nothing transfers. The other iPhone features appear to be working fine. I have activated "send Notifications."

View 13 RepliesI've had my 2015 SFS for a month and have been using Siri on my iPhone to send texts with no problem. Then yesterday, after doing just that, the cars touchscreen was frozen on the phone. I couldn't switch back to music, couldn't exit out of phone, couldn't use the cars voice activation. Nothing! Only went away after I shut off the car and opened my door.
I thought it was a one time glitch...but nope. Just happened again today. I had to pull over during my commute to work and shut the stinkin car off!!!
My 2013 is always off by a few degrees (too warm) on the outside temperature display. This is not the sun or other outside influence. I wouldn't mind if it was just a couple degrees but it is always 5-10 degrees off. Can this be adjusted?
View 12 RepliesI have a 1998 F150 5.4L 4WD with 192k mi on it. Recently ( suddenly ) the vehicle began shuttering pretty alerting under light load at 35 - 45mph. The engine idle was intermittently smooth then rough. I quickly drove the truck home and ran a Trouble Code check with my Autoxray EZ-scan 4000 and found the two trouble codes P0302 and P0171. I have checked for vacuum hose cracks and found none.
Replaced the fuel filter, PCV valve, and cleaned the MAF sensor ( dirty ).
Right after cleaning the MAF sensor the idle remained smooth - but stumbling immediately when put in drive. Driving at 35-45mph still exhibits intermittent shuttering and occasional very short bursts of what feel like complete engine shut-down. This all is evident under light to moderate load .
At this point what would you recommend ? Replacing the O2 sensor bank #1 ? Or is there a possibility maybe the EGR valve is faulty - or another vacuum valve somewhere ? Intake manifold leak ?
The severe stumbling and very short complete engine shut downs would indicate that maybe the computer is failing or it's a fuel delivery issue? What rational steps to take next ?
Sync used to read me any test messages that came in on my Samsung Galaxy S6. But lately it doesn't do that anymore. Is there a setting that might have gotten turned off?
View 14 RepliesThe 19.5" wheels are not an option on the 2013 F-450, unless you order a Chassis Cab. I'm certain many have made this change. My question is can the dealership make the necessary changes so the speedometer correctly measures the vehicle speed?
View 3 RepliesI have Iphone 6 and having issues with Bluetooth in the ES 350, It pairs with the phone but outgoing phone calls have to be initiated from the NAV Screen otherwise there is no sound. Well that's a problem because these cars can't transfer phone book from IOS. Hmm. This worked with Iphone 5 but seems to be broken with Iphone 6?
Dialed from the NAV screen = Sound through Car Speakers and mic. Dialed or started from the iphone = No sound on car Bluetooth, have to switch to Iphone Speaker.
I'm able to pair my iPhone 4 with my LS460. When I turn off the car or start the car the pairing will not remain.

View 5 RepliesMy wife has a new 2015 RX and in setting up the IPhones phones the contacts were downloaded. The problem is that we both have some of the same contacts and now we have many duplicates. Is there a way around this?
I wondered if I deleted both phones then added one with contacts, then turned off automatic downloads and added the second phone. Probably come up short a few contacts but better than a mess of dupes. It also appears that the car downloads ALL contacts from your IPhone and not just the groups you may be using.
i bought gs 350 and my iphone 4 is not transferring contacts into the nav.
View 14 RepliesMy iPhone 4S stopped communicating through the NAV system last week. I could still call out using voice commands but I could not be heard or hear the other person.
Went to Dealership yesterday thinking something in the car broke and after an hour of testing was told that the phone was too old. Apparently Apple updates the phone's OS from time to time, and this time it broke the Lexus NAV system to phone link.
So I went out and upgraded the 4S to a 6. Now it works again, so Lexus Tech was right, it was an Apple OS upgrade that must have happened a week ago.
I wonder if Lexus will now remove the 4s from its "compatibility" list.
