When I first got my Prius and Bluetooth Siemens phone, I couldn't figure out how to dial from the phone and get it onto the handsfree speakers via Bluetooth. I can upload phone numbers, do everything else, works great.

Anyway, today I stumbled upon it, and thought I would share it.

Make a call from the Siemens S56 phone itself, dialing as usual.

When the call connects, at the bottom right of the display it says "Menu". Press the corresponding menu key. One option is "Call to Speak". Press that. Voila! The call is routed via the car's Bluetooth connection into the speakers, etc. Then if you press the Menu button again, that option now says "Call to Mobile".

Go figure.... it may seem obvious now, but not when I was looking for it!

Hope this helps someone else!

Out of curiosity... do you hear a ringtone from the speakers when you you receive a call?

You know, that's a good question -- I usually have the radio or a CD or something playing, so I know when a call comes, because the audio shuts off... but I can't remember if it rings or not.

I'll check and post a follow up!

Nope.
