I needed to delete all of the phones installed
Remove all phone types
Reset or turn car off and on to reset Unit
Enable Bluetooth on BB
Set type to Bluetooth Handsfree (on car)
Set type to Bluetooth Handsfree (on BB 7100)
Set BB to Discoverable
Select Trusted to yes under device properties
Select “find devices” on BB - I tried this at least 10 times
Select “Setting” on car - will start device search (1 minute time out)
Hold BB near the GPS unit display - don’t ask me why…
Should be prompted to enter passcode (0000)
Select “Add Phones” (on car) - should display BB device
Select BB device
Once all of the setting have been set then you need to “OK” everything and restart the unit or car.
I was not taking notes during this process. I was actually getting ready to return the BB because I could not get it to work. I cannot promise this will work but it might be a good start.
Good luck.
I have not tried to sync the contacts list or calendar.
OR IF THAT DON”T WORK TRY THIS…
Blackberry 7100G SOLUTION
I too have a Blackberry 7290 and it is true that you cannot transfer data from it to anything else. It seems that Blackberry offers carrier specific programming to all the major phone companies; but they have all decided to lock the data transfer feature out completely from working. Even though these phones do support the capability, Blackberry seems to have recommended to the major phone carriers to NOT ALLOW for such data transfer in order to protect big companies from having data being stolen. This is a total bunch of bull !
In the meantime you can buy a Siemans S56 on eBay (make sure it has a Sim card - if not, buy for $10.00 delivered on eBay). Put in names and numbers in the S56. Add Siemans to the Lexus as additional bluetooth phone. Transfer phonebook from S56 to Lexus. Select Blackberry again as primary bluetooth phone. All names and numbers show up in Lexus LS430 navigation system and you can select and auto dial.
