    I am a new iPhone user and a 3-month owner of a 2007 Prius. Too much new technology for my ol' brain! :blink:

    I read through a long thread here about how the iPhone works with the Prius bluetooth. However, I couldn't find the parts where it described what I need to do to make that happen. Can anyone tell me how to set the iPhone up and the steps involved to make it work? Do I need to purchase any other hardware/device to do this? I have a 07 Pri package #6. I'm not techno saavy. :(

    Thank you for this forum....I find lots of excellent discussion and information here.

    From the home screen on your iPhone, press Settings.

    Then press General (close to bottom)

    Then press Bluetooth (also close to bottom)

    Ensure bluetooth is turned on. It will find the Prius and label it on the list as

    HANDS FREE

    On your prius, you should be at the screen in the telephone menu for bluetooth setup. There will be a four digit code for pairing the prius with your iphone (mine was 1111)

    Put this code into your iPhone after selecting PAIR next to the HANDS FREE on your screen.

    That should do it.

    I haven't tried this yet (hoping to get the iphone soon), but this is what I have found. Tell me if it works:

    1. On the Prius navigation screen, press the “INFO†button
    2. On the resulting “Information Menu†screen touch the “Telephone†button.
    3. On the resulting “Telephone†screen touch the “Settings†button.
    4. On the resulting “Settings†screen scroll down to the bottom and touch “Add Phone†under “Bluetoothâ€.
    5. You are then presented with a screen that indicates “Begin Bluetooth discovery/search from phone†with a 4 digit pairing passkey.
    6. On your iPhone go to “Settings†and the “General†item under “Settingsâ€. Go down to “Bluetooth and turn it on. The iPhone then becomes discoverable for a period of time.
    7. The iPhone should see the Hands Free system of the car and then display a 4 digit form (and keyboard) to enter the pairing passkey given by the car.
    8. Enter the four digits and touch “connectâ€.
    9. The car will then say it is connected and display the phone name and ID.
    10. The cellular signal strength is displayed on the navigation screen and the phone audio is fed through the car speakers.
