Prius and UX40?

[Ishbaca]

Hi.

I have a new Toyota Hybrid Prius which has bluetooth technology. I was wondering if there was anyway I could connect my UX40 to the GPS system in the car? Or do something else with the bluetooth.

Thank You.

I think that the BT in the Prius is a modified headset profile, which is to say that it is designed to work with a Bluetooth phone, not PDA.

What you can do with it is set it up so that you can dial the phone from your car's display, and have hands-free speakerphone through the car's stereo.

I don't know that you can do anything else really fancy with it, though you can probably sync your address book or something too.

OOO...how would I sync the address book?

I have no idea. You could probably send the addresses to the car just by selecting them on the UX and "beaming" them via Bluetooth (under the menu options). I think there's an option for sending them all at once.

You're probably better off asking these questions in a Prius discussion board, since I don't have any specific knowlege of the Prius interface, as I imagine most here don't. People on a Prius board are more likely to be enthusiasts who know all about the various features and tweaks of that particular system. Since Prius owners tend to be the enthusiast-sort, I imagine there are some very active boards out there.
