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. |
I also have the non-NAV radio, and I see incoming numbers. I've used a couple of different Cingular phones and all have displayed the numbers. Cincular 2125 and 8125 have been the last two phones.
Regarding the inability to transfer your entire phone's contact list into the TCH, this is a problem with your phone, not the JBL unit. I have the same limitation with my Cingular 8125. The Toyota Bluetooth compatibility list will show you which phones will beam into the TCH radio.
