    I didn't see this question addressed in earlier posts, but perhaps I just missed it: When uploading from my cell phone address book to the Prius, can the Prius handle more than one number per name (ie can I have different home, work, cell numbers etc. under one name) or do I have to have a separate entry for each number?

    I'm picking up my Prius next week, and would like to configure my cell phone address book to play nice with the car. To be more precise, I have an iPhone which won't send its address book directly, so I will be creating a special address book on my Mac and downloading it to a different bluetooth phone.

    Thanks in advance!

    I didn't have any problem uploading mine. However, unless the '08 is significantly different than the '06, if you have more than 2 numbers for a contact you'll end up with multiple entries for the contact.

    For example, I have 3 numbers for my wife: home, work & cell. I have two contact entries in my Prius for her. One has the home & work numbers, the other the cell number. It can't associate more than 2 numbers to a contact.

    I have a Samsung SGH-D807 phone. Can anyone tell me how to upload my phonebook into my 2006 Prius? I have the package with everything on it except leather. I also have a Ford Edge with the MS Sync system and it only took a few seconds to upload into that car, but I've tried a few times in the Prius and it just seems to keep "thinking." Thanks.
