Hello Marvin,
Thank you for posting that you also have Treo 650 with bluetooth connected to your 2007 Prius.
I was thinking I was the only one out there.
I do have the handsfree working / connecting (no thanks to Toyota dealer or Toyotta.letstalk.com website).

I did check my Treo 650 - "Firmware: R01.31" (my carrier is AT&T).
That seems higher then 1.05a version, but I don't know.

The harder question, did you get your Treo directory to sync with your car?
Did you just use the "Export to SIM" option, under Treo directory?
All mine does is hang on the Transferring screen.

Hello Melody,

Sounds like you have the proper firmware version for your Treo 650. However, regarding the 'harder question': I have not tried to export my Treo directory to my car bluetooth. Sorry. My directory in my Treo is very large and I have many different categories. So I'm afraid it would mix things up in the transfer.

So I just add some of my frequently called numbers to the speed dial section of the car bluetooth directory.

Hope this helps. Marvin

Hello Prius fan,
By the number of replies I received, I think there may not be many Tero owners on this list.
I had Treo 600, I upgraded to the Treo 680 in Jan 2007 (just out then).
I looked up Treo 700, I don't see the any changes that would make a difference.
Toyotta.letstalk.com, does NOT list any phones / PDA's by Palm (only the Blackberrys).

Did you get your Treo directory to sync with your car? Did you just use the instruction in the manual?

I have a treo 680 and the bluetooth works superbly. My battery strength and signal strength show up on the MFD display. It works great.

Hello Bhaynnes,
Wow, now I know there are at least 3 of us that are using Treo in their Prius. That is great news!
It was very discouraging to see NO phones / PDA's by Palm listed as supported on Toyotta.letstalk.com website. Again the harder question, have you tried to export your Treo directory to your Prius telephone directory via bluetooth.
If so, how did you do it?

I too have a Treo 650 (Verizon). When pairing, I also get the situation where the Treo says that pairing is complete but the Prius is still waiting. Making a call from the Treo makes the Prius connect and everything is fine.

Here's how to transfer your entire phone book from the Treo to the Prius:
1) On the Prius, press "Info" (hard button) then "Telephone" then "Phone Book" then "Transfer" then "No Group".
2) On the Treo, go into the contacts list, select category "all" (at the top), then press the options hard key and select "Send Category".
3) For "Send with", select "Bluetooth" and hit "OK".
4) Select the device name of the Prius (probably "HANDS FREE") and hit "OK".
At least on my 650, that does it.

TedM - IT WORKED!
I now have my Treo phone directory transferred to my car.
(I have over 1000 entries in Treo 680, have some clean up to do)
Now I don't have to use my Treo to call people in my directory when I'm in my car.)
Thank you, Thank you so much for posting these instructions.
I could not find these instructions any where else. I tried several other ways to transfer but none were successful. You’re my hero - I love this list.
