    I have followed the book, and cannot seem to get to the tag screen option - record

    It's on the second page of options. there is a down arrow on the left side of the screen that will bring you to the next page. It took me quite a while to figure that out. Good luck.

    What is the second page of options? How do I get there?

    I guess I am an idiot or I have the wrong manual.

    If you have to read the manual to figure out things, software-wise, it's bad software, things should be intuitive.
    OMG, my husband is wearing off on me, I can't believe I just wrote that! :lol:

    Okay, once your in phonebook and have selected the person/number:

    Touch Edit
    On the Edit screen, on the top left are two arrows in a circle, touch that and you will be in the voice recognition screen with the REC button on the bottom left. Have fun. :)

    Well excuse me, but none of the people above provided instructions that I could follow; here's how to do it!!!
    1-Go to PHONE BOOK screen
    2-Press the name of the phone book entry to add a voice tag to.
    3-CONTACT DATA screen appears; press EDIT at lower left.
    4-EDIT CONTACT DATA screen appears; press circle at upper left.
    5-2nd page of EDIT CONTACT DATA screen appears; press VOICE REC at upper right.
    6-VOICE TAG screen appears; press REC button at lower left.
    7-A voice on the speaker tells you to speak the words you want recorded to become the voice tag for this phone book entry.
    8-After you finish speaking, the tag will be played back to you on the speaker.
    9-Press OK to verify.
    10-Press the return arrows on the previous screens to go back to the
    PHONE BOOK screen.
    11-Repeat steps 1-10 as needed.

    Now wasn't that intuitive and obvious? I guess that's why it isn't in the durn owner's manual....:plane:


    By the way; the software doesn't recognize my voice tags hardly at all; it selects the wrong thing 70% of the time for me...maybe THAT is why the manual is so cryptic...they don't want you to go there...lol.

    WOW, I do not see a "contact data" anywhere....
    It is also frustrating that I cannot add names to incomming call numbers.

    Does the 2005 have a different phone setup from other years?

    hi all,
    even after skimming this post, this a.m. i tried to attach voice tags without luck - i just printed wa6itd's instructions and hope that helps.
    the prius does MANY things well - but, some of the menus/electronics are hardly intuitive
    thanks again!
