I know I was quite disappointed that there is no automated way to enter your phone's directory(mine has 350 contacts) into the car's system and/or use the voice dialing intelligence of the carrier to make calls by simply activating the cars microphone to interface to the phone's voice dialing. Maybe some hacker has cracked this. Best I've done is to manually enter key numbers and assign speed dial. Please do post anything else you learn here. If I come across any of the research/sites I did on this in November 2006 when I bought my car, I'll do the same.

P.S: I went back to Howards Forums and searched "Toyota Bluetooth" here is just one thread that may be of help:

http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/929013-1.html Within this thread it gives this Bluetooth/cellphone Toyota link: http://toyota.letstalk.com/bluetooth/bt_userguides.htm

I don't know whether you'll need to register at howards but it is to cellphones as these forums are to Hybrids.
Thanks for the links.

I used to have the V710 and it would not let me transfer a darn thing. I was very unhappy about that but then the phone died and I lost all of my contact anyhow (oh well). I now have the 8700 (from Verizon) and it handles vCard sends for the entire contact list at once.

I am going to try my phone in the RAV4 and my GF's phone in my car. Maybe I am just missing something.
