    Hi...well, I'm smarter than the average bear, but I cannot figure out how to get my blackberry pearl phone to "communicate" with my prius's blue tooth. I have scoured my owners manual, but not much help there...anyone out there have the 411 on how to get my hands free to work? I have a 2007 prius, package # 6. Thanks

    I have the same prius package as you and have a Sanyo Katana phone. I simply turned on the bluetooth features on the car and on the phone. I believe this is basically all I had to do. I don't remember exactly but I remember it was quite easy. I believe there may be some settings on your phone you have to play with to make sure you are searching for the car and that you give it permission etc. Everything you need to "play" with is on your phone, same for transferring your contacts. All I had to do on my prius was turn the bluetooth feature on and let it start searching.

    Check your phone's manual rather than the prius manual

    Some phones require you to "pair" them with the Bluetooth hands-free device, which in this case is the Prius. Go through the pairing process with your phone, and when it asks for the number, use the one from the MFD screen. It defaults to something like 1111.

    I had the same problem until I put down the Prius manual and picked up my cellphone manual.

    I think it's illegal in most states to marry two blue tooths (blue teeth?)
