How to Connect Bluetooth in Lexus ES250?
2 Answers
Turn on both the mobile phone Bluetooth and the car Bluetooth, and ensure they are in discoverable mode. On the mobile phone's Bluetooth interface, click "Search for Devices". Select the car Bluetooth displayed on the phone, click on the car Bluetooth -- Bluetooth Settings -- Pair. Enter the pairing code here (default is 1234 or 0000 or 1111) and click "Connect", while also clicking "Pair" on the car Bluetooth interface. If the pairing code is entered correctly, "Connected" will soon be displayed on the car Bluetooth. At this point, you can make a call using the car Bluetooth.
When I first bought this car, I couldn't even figure out how to connect Bluetooth. You need to start the engine first before operating—don't try it with the engine off. Tap the menu button at the bottom right of the dashboard screen to find the settings function, then scroll to the Bluetooth option and press 'Connect New Device' to start the search mode. Take out your phone, turn on Bluetooth, and make sure it's discoverable. Usually, it will automatically display a device name like 'LEXUS ES'—just tap to pair. The pairing process is quick. If prompted for a password, try default codes like 0000 or 1234. Once connected, you can play music and take calls conveniently, but remember not to fiddle with it while driving—do it safely when parked. If you can't find the device, try restarting both the car and the phone—sometimes too much interference causes lag. Also, remember to update the car's software to avoid bugs from older versions. The sound quality is better when it auto-connects every time you get in the car.
