Check your private message box.  I sent you my email.  Maybe we can both sit in our cars and figure this out.

I had a similar problem with my Verizon 650. I was totally frustrated with it UNTIL I learned I had to make a call from the phone to "activate the pairing."

dbermanmd:
NEXT question: once you get the car paired with the phone and have a connection established, have someone else call you. See if your car/phone drops the first call and takes the second. No warning. The first call is just gone.

I have this problem. It might be a problem with bluetooth. Or it might be the car. Has anyone else had this problem?

This is the call waiting problem. If you dial *70 before making an important call you disable call waiting for that call and any incoming calls will go to voice mail. No good solution if the first call is an incoming call. Searching on call waiting will bring up several posts on the subject.

It never pairs - it is always in search mode.

I hate to show my ignorance so all but...
I tried calling after going through the setup procedure I cant make a call through it and the MFD lists my telephone as available...
Where am I going wrong

It worked
I made a call after doing everything as instructed - and.... IT WORKED
My daughter then happened to call and it picked her right up. No dropped calls at all. In fact she said that I sounded better using the Prius's microphone than I did using my phone :P
Now I just have to figure how to get my address book and speed dial stuff to pair
I do love these smilely faces
And a big thank you to to my buddy who I spoke to tonight. THANKS
