    :eek: I can't get my iphone 5s to connect to my 2008 Prius. No bluetooth connection.
    iphone 5s just keeps searching and the prius says no connection. Any suggestions?
    Had no problem with iphone 4s, 18 months ago. o_O
    Thanks Colleen

    You have to initiate the bluetooth pairing from the car, if you recall. The signal won't be visible on your phone until you trigger it from the car.

    My iPhone 4 works fine for the blue tooth but like others I can't get my phone book to transfer :(

    Maybe it's time for an upgrade to my phone!

    That's quite odd. I did have some trouble getting my iPhone 3GS to talk to my 2008 Prius Gen II, but rebooting the car sorted that out quickly. In truth, I may have caused the connectivity issue myself by trying to connect the car and my iPhone without reading the bleeping manual!

    My recent iPhone 5 upgrade linked up to my Prius effortlessly.
