How will Bluetooth work with no MFD?

RebelScum · 04-08-2009, 06:52 PM

If I get the Prius III (model 1225), which includes Bluetooth capability, but don't get the Nav system with the MFD, how will I dial? Will I just have to dial using my phone?

I'm assuming that if you get Nav, it would work like other cars with integrated Nav and Bluetooth: they have on-screen phonebooks and dialing.

I want the Bluetooth and not Nav, but I don't want to miss out on a lot of the major Bluetooth features. I guess this is where having the MFD regardless of Nav would have been helpful, huh?

by voice dialing and dialing from your phone. You will be able to have phone book stored in the car as well.

You can say: "Dial 555-555", or say "Dial Home" where "Home" is entry in your phonebook. You answer, or dial by using steering wheel buttons.

Should be similar to the Bluetooth functionality in the Camry - go to a dealership and play with one
