I just got my Prius about a month ago. Last week I decided to go ahead and upgrade my cell phone to a Bluetooth phone. I was assured that the Samsung 950 would work great with the Prius. I verified this, in person, at the Verizon store and with at least 2 different telephone support people and they assured me that this technology is all industry standard now and everything works great …... Well, after messing with it for 4 hours and not achieving any success, I finally found this site. I wish I had researched it from the Toyota side instead of the Verizon side . I boxed the phone up and sent it back to them right away. They say I will get a full refund. I did finally find a Bluetooth feature support page on the Verizon website. I see that none of their phones offer phone book support for Toyota. So, this experience has left me a little amazed that two of the biggest players in the market can’t work together.
Will Prius owners ever be able to use the Bluetooth features with Verizon phones? I have posed this same question to Verizon “customer support” and you would think I was asking if they were compatible with a Yugo… The last guy I talked to couldn’t even pronounce Prius correctly. Is anybody using a Verizon phone with your Prius?
Thanks,
Greg
