    I am having a difficult time finding a blue tooth phone to work with my Prius.

    My current cell phone is not a blue tooth phone, and I want to take advantage of the hands free phone in the Prius, but everywhere I look there seem to be serious drawbacks to the phone to Prius match.

    I have been to the Toyota Let's Talk site, and looked at and compared phones. They don't update that site very much.

    They should really have a phone that Toyota endorses to go with the Prius and is completely compatible.

    Does anyone have a phone they can recommend that they know works with a 2009 Prius with the Navigation Package?

    I have an 04 Prius. I also have a 5330 Blackberry Curve. It works great with blue-tooth. No problems.

    iPhone works great! It took a while to make the blue tooth handshake, but it works excellent every time now.

    My T-Mobile G1 mates up with my 2009 w/Nav with no issues.

    Just about any late-model phone (i.e., released within the last year) with Bluetooth should pair with your car with no issues.

    I have a BlackBerry Bold and Curve. Both work great but the Bold comes in more clearer.

    My iPhone paired up easily but you will have to transfer the phone numbers one at a time. Other than that it works great...

    Trying to pair an LG Incite




    Phone won't connect with the car. On the "bluetooth Device Pairing" Screen on the phone, the only device it has to select is for some reason my old Blackberry 7130, which is the phone I replaced with AT&T. I would like to be able to add my cars' bluetooth address, and then enter the passkey, and maybe they will link up. The big question is how to add a device to my phones pairing list.

    Did you ever get the Incite to pair? I need a new phone and it is one being offered for free by AT&T.
