BT Adapter from Radio Shack

your Prius will not know the difference since the BT adapter transmits a BT signal. keep in mind that those adapters only transmit voice info. so ya it will work in the same limited capacity (no phone book transfer)

 

And you're gonna need to change the password for the Prius from 1212 to 0000

 

OP, did you try it out yet? I was curious about these as well. I didn't think it would work since those adapters normally don't support the BT Hands Free Profile. How can it dial from the car if it is only plugged into the headset port on the phone?

Of course, I could be totally wrong.

 

the adapter transmits the same info as any other BT phone would. your car will not know the difference. your phone would have to allow handsfree operation. that would usually mean configuring its options through the menu for dealing with calls, etc. all other functions that the phone supports like voice activated dialing will work.

keep in mind that if your phone does not support voice dialing, adding the adapter will not add that functionality.

 

Just for kicks, I picked up the Cardo BT adapter at Radio Shack today. Changed Prius code to 0000, put adapter into pairing but pairing did not complete. Tried a few times but never worked.

I have already paired two different BT phones with my car, but i can't get this BT adapter to work. Any ideas?

 

I bought this adapter before I got my samsung A900 and I did not get it to work. I was trying to save some money by not having to buy a bt phone but it didn't work. I am not sure if I did something wrong or the adapter is not compatible with the car, but I am pertty sure the adapter is not ment to link with a car. I hope this helps

 

Not excatly. A phone would have the headset and the hands-free profile available. You would need to find an BT adapter that supports both of these instead of just Headset.
