My iPhone works well in my 2008. It paired so quickly I actually set it up
during my first test drive with the sales person on board.
Fair to say it works very well!

I have been looking around and can not find an answer to my question. Does anyone have an opinion as to wether the iPhone will able to link to the Prius. It is listed as Bluetooth 2 with EDR. I have looked at Toyota's page and the Bluetooth site and can not determine if they might work together.

I experience the same with my 2008 Touring. The iPhone still does not have a way to transfer or "push" the contacts to the car. I'll bug Apple to implement it.

For now, I'll send the contacts via my BlackBerry Pearl.

Has anyone used one of the iPod connection devices to connect their iPhone for iPod use?

My aux jack doesn't fit in the recessed jack on the iPhone and I was thinking of using this as an excuse to get a more integrated iPod interface on my 2007 touring.

Just "bit the bullet" and got an Iphone 5 days ago. The Iphone had no problem syncing up with the prius. It also pairs faster than the E815 and the Sony Ericcson T68i that I previously used. As far as downloading the phone book, the Iphone and the e815 are/were useless. The T68i, however, is my hardware download utility.

Any phone book I create gets loaded into the T68i (cost $30.00 on Ebay), and then downloaded wherever.

I downloaded the phone list into Outlook as "Phonebook" and then synced it on Itunes. The IPhone now has all 200 phone numbers, with multiple phones listed in work, home, and mobile categories wherever they were on the original phone list.

After a couple of days to figure this out, it looks like its worked out OK.

By the way - for all IPhone owners there is a great book by David Pogue, who writes a column for the NY Times. It's called IPhone The Missing Manual. You can see it at:

Hi,
I just got an iPhone and can't figure out how to connect it to my Prius (06).
You say yours works...can you explain me how you made it work? mine just seems not to "see" the car.

thanks for your help

The iPhone requires a special recessed jack at the iPhone end of the connecting cable (accomodates the microphone and option button on the iPhone earphones). There are several available; be sure you buy one labled "Works with iPhone".

My car doesn't seem to "see" my iphone!
