    I am having difficulty with getting my Treo 650 (Verizon) to connect consistently with my Prius Bluetooth. Sometimes it connects and operates fine. Othertimes, it connects fine and then loses the connection after a few minutes. Others, it will not connect at all. I have my Prius Bluetooth set to connect automatically. I even have the same problems when I use the manual connect prompt. My phone is sitting on the seat next to me. My phone connects fine to my Bluetooth headset, so I know the the phone system works. Any ideas will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I have an unlocked GSM Treo 650, and also had some intermittent problems with getting it to connect, and I also had it behave the same erratic way yours does. Unfortunately, I can't offer you any specific tips on how I got it to work, except to say that I kept pairing and re-pairing and re-pairing -- at one point, I completely restarted by deleting all phone entries, etc., and then reconnecting. Even then, it sometimes hung on the "Connecting..." screen, but initiating a call from the phone seemed to work. For whatever reason, it eventually just started working w/o any issues, and I wish I knew what the magic formula was!

    My wife has a Cingular Treo 650, and I even somehow got it to be able to switch between the two phones using the "Select phone" manual connection (particularly useful if you use Tomtom w/bluetooth GPS on one of the phones).

    By the way, I used the "car kit" bluetooth profile instead of the handsfree one. Also, at least on my phone, initiating a Prius bluetooth call while the phone is in Blazer will cause the Treo to reset. Who knows?

    Make sure the software is up to date. The final update to the Treo 650's fixed alot of it's bluetooth issues.
