Prius Phonebook Issues

[Tadashi]

I was able to get the phone connected to the car using John's instructions (thanks BTW I was not able to find any instructions in the manual). However, when I would try to transfer the phonebook the phone would disconnect and the car would just sit there until I hit the cancel button. Is this function not working?

Also, when I try to select a phone book to enter phone numbers it says it is empty and will not let me do anything. Is there instructions somewhere on how to enter numbers in the speed dial and phonebook?

Hi, do you have Verizon service? If so, forget it. they have that feature disabled in their phones, so transfering phone book is not possible. If you have a difference wireless service, let us know.

I have Cingular but maybe they did the same thing. How do I setup numbers in my phone book so I can tell the car to dial? I can dial if I goto the map and use the phone number assocaited with the location but that is very cumbersome.

I too have a RAZR on Cingular. I transferred my whole phonebook yesterday - one entry at a time

Although the sequence was a little criptic at first, it worked well, just slow.

Tadashi, here is the sequence that works in my '06 to transfer numbers one at a time -
Get to the Telephone screen and ensure the phone is connected to the car via BT
Settings
Phone Book
Transfer Data
Pick one of the groups (you can name them elsewhere)
Add To

Then on the phone:
Select your entry you want to transfer
Menu
Scroll down to 'Send" and select it
If you car is not appearing in the list of object select [Look For Devices] (you'll only have to do this once)
Select your car's device name
It will connect and send the object

To create a number in your phone book, do the following -
Phone Book
Register
Name
Enter the Name then press OK
TEL1
Enter the number then press OK
Group
Assign it to a group


To assign that number to a Speed Dial so you can access it while the car is in motion do the following -
Settings
Speed Dial
Register
Select an entry
Touch the phone number showing for the entry (this is the part that is not obvious)
Select a Speed dial group
Touch the Speed Dial location to assign it to

Now you can dial that number via Speed Dial while the car is moving

Good Luck. Let us know if any of this does not make sense or if you have problems.

I thought this was a real interesting link on the Razr "Ask Dave Taylor", another guy out there pitching Prius when he can.

[Tadashi]

Awesome guys. Thanks.

I also have Cingular and a RAZR...no one helped me....but I finally figured out that I could send one number at a time to the phone book....then moved 17 to Speed Dial and Voice Tagged a bunch.

I'm glad I took the time. I love the BT feature!!

Later, a local Cingular dealer confirmed that with the RAZR the transfer has to be one number at a time.

Voice tags ... what does that mean ... can you use the sound system in the car to initiate the calls ???
Sorry for the dumbness but I just got my prius day before yesterday and I'm still learning.
Thanx ... Ed

Yes, if you have the bluetooth feature then you can use the voice recognition system to dial calls. You have to record yourself saying each name that you want to be able to dial, which seems odd to me, since the Nav can recognize when you say street names.

Full details of how to do it are in your manuals.
