syncronizing Motorola cell 'contact list' to Phone Book

marcndubick · 01-23-2008, 01:07 PM

I'm trying to syncronize my contact list from my Motorola Razr Cell Phone to the Bluetooth 'Phone Book' connection on my 08 Touring #6 Prius. The phone synct fine and the hands free works well, but I can't seem to get it to load the phone numbers. Any suggestions? Thanks

I work at TTC (Toyota Technical Center) in Ann Arbor, MI and I had some questions about being able to sync my BlackBerry 8830's phone book with the one in my Prius. I hit up one of my coworkers and he pointed me to the following site:

Toyota Bluetooth Phone

Great resource for pairing your phone and Toyota vehicles.

According to Toyota's lets talk website; the Razr can only Transfer single number phonebook entries to the handsfree system. I havn't figured out how that happens yet?

Not sure what brand of RAZR you're using... I was just looking around my fiancee's V3m (through Verizon) and I don't think there's any way to do it with that particular model... The V3i (GSM RAZR, for AT&T, T-Mobile, etc) might have the ability as the Bluetooth capability of those are usually less crippled, but I don't have one to test out for sure.

The heck with it; I just loaded them manually as I only had about 15 numbers to input. Still would be interested if someone cracks the code!

Yup, I have a RAZR V3 and it states right in the instructions from Toyota's lets talk website that you can only transfer 1 address at a time. Looks like I'll be at it for awhile, LOL

It most definitely can depend on the generation and carrier of the Razr V3, V3m, V3i, etc.

On my Sprint Motorola Razr V3m, I could select multiple contacts to send at a time. The software and UI on the Verizon version looks TOTALLY different than those on Sprint versions even though both are CDMA.

There's been a lot of chatter on this subject in the past on Audio and Electronics - PriusChat Forums which is really the right place for this query.

I wouldn't bother.

A Motorola phone isn't likely to last long enough.
I've had 3 Motorola mobiles and all have needed repair within warranty and the last 2 failed just out of warranty, the first was analog and I had to upgrade to digital.
