My Toyota prius accepts phone book info from cell phones but I can't find how to tell the iphone to transfer data. The prius gets ready and says "tell phone to start transfer" and I can't find any reference in documentation to this sort of transfer. Anyone done this or have any ideas?
You can't do it. iPhone doesn't the type of file-pushing bluetooth. I've tried with both the 3G and EDGE iPhones I have.
But what I did do is sync all my addresses to a Sony mobile and uploaded them that way. The Prius only has 1000 numbers in it and if you've got a lot of Contacts with multiple phone numbers you may have to put them into a smaller Group before sending to the Prius.
Mine works fine now and I can select between the two iPhones. I don't know if Apple will ever put that push bluetooth technology on the iPhone. It uses lots of power and lots of people have difficulty with looking after their battery life.
Wow, great app and thanks for the link. I'll be giving this a shot later this afternoon; hope it works. It'll be nice to have all my contacts loaded into my car and I was never going to type them all in one by one.
Well I tried it. Didn't work 😟 .. The program is a black box in that there is no way to trouble shoot it or reference errors. It just says there was an error connecting to the device (Prius).
For reference, I was using the latest MacBook Pro, an iPhone 3g and a 2007 Prius.
If it worked it'd be a great program since it's simple to use. Since it doesn't it's just a waste of disk space.
