    I just joined the Prius community ('07 package #5, Magnetic) and this is a COOL car!

    I'm wondering if anyone has attempted to transfer contacts from a Cingular 8125 PDA/Smart Phone? It connects fine and works very well, but I cannot seem to get the transfer done. <_<

    Any help would be appreciated!

    According to the Toyota website, that phone is not supported for data transfer:
    Toyota Bluetooth Info

    I have a T-Mobile MDA (same as the Cingular 8125) and it works great except no data transfer. :angry:

    Oh well...

    i dont know about cingular, but I had no problems at all transfering several hundred contacts with the motorola Q and verizon cell service.

    Good Luck!! Sometimes it just takes some testing and fiddling around with it..... and thats my technical advice.....

    Hi Paul...

    I have the same phone and the same car - but transfers only work intermiittently for me. I have to go back and test a little more, but I'm pretty sure my transfers fail whenever I have multiple phone numbers in the address book. I've been meaning to try out some other windows mobile contact management software and see if that improves the transfer. Maybe I just need an update to Windows Mobile.

    I'm assuming you've figured out how to get the transfer started... if not, it's one of those RT*M occasions :)

    Pardon my ignorance, but "RT*M"? I have gotton to the point of getting the car to wait for the transfer to start, but I'm unsure of how to get the Phone to start sending. I use activesync to connect to my laptop. Am I missing something?
