How to Use Bluetooth in Older Lexus Models?
2 Answers
Simply connect your mobile phone or other media device. Below is a detailed introduction to in-car Bluetooth: 1. Overview: In-car Bluetooth is a wireless hands-free system designed based on Bluetooth technology. Its main function is to connect with mobile phones via Bluetooth for hands-free calls during normal driving, aiming to free your hands and reduce the risk of traffic accidents. 2. Principle: Bluetooth technology is an open global standard for wireless data and voice communication. Its essence is to establish a universal radio air interface for communication environments between fixed or mobile devices, further integrating communication technology with computer technology.
The old Lexus Bluetooth system does feel quite antiquated. When I drove the 2007 IS, I had to first locate the PHONE button on the center console and hold it until hearing a beep. At that moment, you needed to immediately pull out your phone, go to Bluetooth settings, search for a device named 'Lexus Hands-Free', and connect using the default pairing code 0000. Important note: You must wait until the white phone light on the instrument cluster stays solid after starting the engine - if it flashes red, it indicates microphone failure. After successful pairing, it's best to save frequent contacts with custom names, as the old system only stores 6 devices (when full, you'll need a dealership reset). For calls while driving, press the phone icon button on the right side of the steering wheel, and use the left-side scroll wheel to navigate contacts. Once you get familiar with it, the system actually works quite conveniently.
