    I want to transfer the contacts on my 2004 Prius to my Galaxy s3 phone. I can sync from the phone to the Prius, but want to do it the other way around... from Prius to phone. I cannot find a way to do this. Anyone know how?

    You are in the 2012-up Prius v (van/wagon) part of Priuschat.

    I've been messing with Bluetooth systems for nearly 10 years and I have yet to see one that allows sending contacts to a cell phone. If you still have the cell phone that was used to load the contacts into your Prius Bluetooth system, you might be able to upload the contacts to a service like Google Gmail and then download them to your Galaxy S3. Or have your cell phone provider transfer the contacts from the old phone to the new - a common and usually free service. You don't necessarily even need the old phone - just its SIM card unless it is non-GSM and doesn't have one.

    The Galaxy S3 is certainly a cool phone isn't it? It's A2DP Bluetooth works seemlessly to stream music stored on the phone or Internet radio (TuneIn, Pandora, etc.) to the audio system in our Prius v wagon. No need to use Entune.

    You can use this MobiKin android manager tool to add data to your samsung phone.

    So, you've tested this software in a Prius. If you haven't, it is not really a solution.
