My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #6 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I have a 2008 pck #6 prius. I haven't had problems with the phone bluetooth to this point. I manually connect, as my phone isn't totally compatible. BUT, today I got in after my husband drove it yesterday and there is NO phone ICON to be found on the screen! It seems to have completely disappeared and I need your help figuring out what to do to reset the system or whatever to get back to where I was. Suggestions? Thanks! |

Someone might have siphoned it. Were you driving when you noticed the lack of a phone icon? Some of the functions are locked out when the car is moving. Tom |

My husband says that he didn't consciously register his phone with my prius yesterday, as he has his own blue tooth head set he uses. I drove the prius tonight and the phone icon suddenly showed up on the info screen for awhile. Later, when I started the car again, it wasn't there. I am baffled. |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #2 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | There have been some posts here that a cell phone in close proximity to the smart key (e.g. same pocket, next to each other in a bag, etc.) interferes with the operation of the smart key and sometimes drains the battery of the smart key. Could your problem be similar where your key is interfering with your phone? |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #6 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Good question. I do store them i the same pocket of my bag. But, I've done that since January and have never had a problem. Why would the phone icon suddenly no appear on the screen? |
