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.

Once the phone numbers are in the book, you can go to the menu and add voice tags to about 20 of them....I'll have to go back and figure out the way I did it...it says how in the car's manual, but it took me a while to find a "down" arrow to take me to the voice recognition part of the tag....if I get a chance tomorrow and you still don't have it, I'll try to list the steps.

I can use speed dial while I am driving and I can enter a phone number using my voice, but, oddly enough when I hit the voice button on the steering wheel, if I am driving, the car doesn't want to use my voice tags....

...yet it will take a number input by voice and speed dial at any time...so I use the speed dial more than the voice tags.....I have voice activation for my RAZR and use that with the BT earpiece.

Good luck. Will check back tomorrow and see if you got the voice tags in...as I said, I have them, but rarely use them, since I call when I am driving and use speed dial or number by voice entry.

It took me A LONG TIME to figure all this out, especially the voice tags, since it was a simple down arrow I was missing ...

Others have had trouble with phone book downloads...the manual isn't that user friendly as far as specific phones...some allow full phone book download...and mine was one at a time.

I would feel fine about using my BT headset, except that it's built into the car, so even though functionality seems oddly limited, I just feel like I HAVE to use it because it's there I honestly do wish that I could use my RAZR's voice commands through the car's audio system though since its voice recognition is better for dialing names and numbers.

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.

What phone devices (if any) can transfer an entire phone book at a time?

I just transferred an entire category from a Treo 650. It is a handy way to fill one group of the Prius phonebook.

Not whole phone book at once (10 entries at a time) but at least still able to transfer. LG 8300 w Verizon.

I am one of those "lucky" people with the '04 package 9 who had to have the whole Nav system replaced . Everything was wiped out of my phone books and now I can't get the bluetooth to accept my phone again (same Motorola I had to start with) any ideas?

Cut the speed sensor wire and install a switch. When OFF it acts like the car is stopped and your passenger can dial. It effects the 5-minute bars on the Consumption screen and the turning wheels on the Energy screen, but if it's off only when dialing then you shouldn't see any difference.
