    bluetooth phones and passenger: irritation over "safety" feature

    We just got the car which is great except for this "safety" feature
    which is attempting to protect something that does not need protecting.
    Two of us take drives together. Is there any way to disable the
    "disable telephone" features while moving. The passenger would prefer
    to try out the features while the vehicle is moving instead of wasting
    time sitting in the driveway reading the book with the power on. It is
    NOT the driver who wants to do this so why shouldn't we be able to do
    so. Suggestions appreciated.

    Upload your phonebook from your phone to the car, then you can set up to 18
    numbers for one touch dialing. The one-touch dialing works while the car is
    moving.

    Will try it. Two people will load their phonebooks into the car and
    we'll share Speed Dials. Any experience with loading two
    phones/dismounting/re-loading easily? Thanks.

    There are two phonebooks in the Prius, each of which can store up to
    500 contacts (one number each). You can register up to 4 phones.
    You'll have to select which phone to connect to, though, or it'll
    default to the last used phone.

    There are 18 "One-touch dial" numbers, but you really can only program
    17 of them. position #6 is reserved for the last received call's
    number. The one-touch dial numbers are programmed out of your
    phonebook. (I'm not sure if there is only 1 set of 1-touch dial
    numbers, or 1 set per phonebook. I haven't needed more than the 6 on
    page 1...)

    Note that the above information is for a 2004 US Prius. The 2006, with
    the new display and the Bluetooth not requiring the Navigation system,
    might be a little different.

    you can also dial from the phone. You'll still talk through the hands free
    system. Kind funky since you cant hear it ring in the speaker. You'll just
    hear a "hello?" when the person answeres. However, the screen will also tell
    you when it's connected.

    Thanks. We found that out: dial from the phone and speak/listen through
    the car. Already loaded our two phones as separate icons but haven't
    yet downloaded the address books, nor speed dial. There apparently is a
    "last number dialed" button which appears that you can access.
