    I've succeeded binding BluTooth Phone and Car.

    I can make calls, listen to received SMS messages and respond.

    But how do I have Voice mail play through the radio?

    Prius 2 Eco 2016.

    Thanks in advance.

    Have Galaxy S5 with AT&T. Have their Visual Voice Mail app. Here is what I do:
    1. Switch radio to Bluetooth source input (or try Aux, not in my car and I can't remember exactly)
    2. Start the app on the phone.
    3. Press the play button on the app.
    Now you will hear the audio from your phone.

    BTW. This is how you can listen to any of the audio generated by the phone. You can do this with apps like Waze or music apps. I use Waze but have it play via the phones speaker so I can listen to the car radio at the same time.

    The audio source auto switches to the Bluetooth input when you get a phone call. You may hear other phone sounds come in when on a call.

    Thx.

    I think it may be phone/OS platform dependent.

    I've a Nokia that runs on Windows, and I tried that Blutooth Audio Source. Sound didn't come out.
