So, does anybody know why the Prius doesn't allow manual phonebook entries through the MFD? That sure would be nice since I've had so many problems getting my Verizon phone to work. If I could just enter a few numbers manually into my Prius, I wouldn't care that Verizon has disabled the OBEX.
Not an answer to your question but you can use the one-touch buttons to store numbers. They can be programed from incoming and outgoing call records. The disadvantage is that you can't associate a name to the button when you do it this way so you have to recognize the number.
Another option for adding a few phone numbers manually is to add them to “My Places” on the GPS menu screen. That way you have the name, address, location and phone number in one place. Heck you can even put some of them on the quick access list. When you want to call that number just select the destination screen. Pick the “My Places” then find the entry and select it. It will go to the map screen and show you where it is. Press the “Info” button on the screen. It will show you the address and phone number. Just press the phone icon and it will make your call. That’s the only way I have been able to enter names, addresses and phone numbers in one place manually.
It’s also an easy way to call businesses that are in the GPS already that you don’t have to enter in the regular phone book. I do it sometimes just to make sure they are open before I head there. Heck, I was surprised that my work address and phone number was there.
Just upgraged my cell phone to a Motorola Razr. This works great!!! I was really surprised when someone called me the other night and the system processed the call and all I had to do was answer through the car mic. Downloaded my phonebook as well.
