Bluetooth for Phone Calls: One Speaker or Two?

I'm sure my husband, who I commute with, will be thrilled to listen in to our meeting.

No mute button on the steering wheel or stereo; the mute feature on the phone itself should still work. With bluetooth in the car I rarely use a bt headset.

Funniest was receiving a call inside a store, and I had left the car Acc-ON, my wife got to speak to the caller but I couldn't.
So I hanged up, called the person back, still couldn't talk, but my wife in the car sure could.

I was really far away too, at least 20 feet.

Tell us the truth - the call wasn't from your girlfriend was it? Now THAT would be worthy of a story here. And in divorce court....

On the nav system there's an onscreen button titled "Transfer Call" (or something similar). Touch it and the call will switch over to the car's bluetooth.

I've used that when I was on a call in the car and was ready to turn the car off, and transferred the call back to the phone. Never thought about it working in reverse too.

Prius III comes with the Bluetooth feature that works independent of the Navigation option. My question is what's the difference in Bluetooth with and without the Nav. option? Any advantages or disadvantages? I am leaning towards a trim III without any package, but I am certain I want the bluetooth feature to work perfectly. So if it doesn't without and Nav option, then I'll get that option. Please provide your opinions.
