Using Bluetooth with iPod Touch

Does anyone know if I can stream audio from my iPod Touch (latestest model with latest firmware) over Bluetooth to my Prius? The Bluetooth tab under audio is disabled on the Prius??

Problem solved. Pair device through Settings. The iPod Touch pays through the Prius Audio just fine.

My ignorance abounds!!! I can sync my iTouch with bluetooth? I am glad I read this before buying some expensive accessory.

Does the owners manual explain this? My iTouch did not come with any manual, instructions were on line.

Just turn on Bluetooth in the general settings. You must have the latest firmware ($10). In the car, it must be added as a device before the Bluetooth tab is enabled in Audio.

I haven't bought the latest greatest firmware yet, but that is not a problem. This is great!!!

Worked unsuccessfully for about 20 minutes trying to pair the phone so I decided to pull out the iPod Touch to see if it was any easier. paired it in about 30 second. That is so cool!

Had to get the phone manual out to figure out how to pair it. Both work with bluetooth now (just not at the same time)

I went to Settings on my Prius but don't see where to pair the device - am probably missing it...can you be a bit more specific?

Thanks

Where do you add as a device?

Thanks

p.295 in the Prius Navigation System Owner's Manual. Click on Bluetooth Audio Settings while your iPod is nearby with bluetooth turned on. It works amazingly well. It switches to using the car audio automatically once paired.
