    As has been said before, it is probably your phone carrier service rather than the Toyota system. I have Verizon, and they do not allow my phone to sync.

    I understand that different phone models implement Bluetooth differently. But I still don't understand how the phonebook transfer problem is related to the Nav package...

    Like the car 98% but here is my short list of complaints:

    1) Cruise control forgets resume speed when the car drops below 25mph. My Honda's won't cruise under 25mph but do remember the resume speed. Take off from a signal light, get over 25mph, hit resume and it goes back to 55mph or whatever. Apparently all Toyota's have the same behavior.:(
    2) Gas tank bladder nonsense.
    3) Love the display but want the instant bar graph and the battery level on the same display. I have to switch between the two displays often.
    4) Would like the rear door handles to auto-unlock like the front doors when I grab them.

    It's not related to Nav - it's related to Bluetooth and wireless providers.

    So the above statement is untrue?

    I'm chasing this one, as I'm used to the fog lights on my Sebring which cast considerable extra light both ahead and to the sides. First up, I repaced the bulgs with Xtreme White Plus 9006 PIAA bulbs. Had it done at the shop my dealer recommends for such things. They are Plus-&-Play for Prius fogs. Brighter, but not better.

    Then I realized the problem was how they were aimed. Right in front of the bumber, you could have taken a picture without a flash bulb. Then I looked at the manual which does refer to adjustment, so I'll have the dealer adjust them when I go in next, unless I get motivated to do it myself.

    I think I may have to rescind this statement. With me being 6'3 I never thought to use the lever meant to raise the seat height. I tried it though and it actually raises the back part of the seat on an angle which finally has given me a comfortable seating position! I haven't tried it on a long trip yet but I am excited to have found a position that is now really comfortable! :rockon:

    Disappointed? Wow! Show me another car, and in this price range of ten grand more or less than can do that! Hope you're not married, as don't know on any women that could take disappointments like this.

    don't switch screens. Why ? I leave mine alone and keep my eyes on the road.
