    I have a 2006 Prius with nav and I have connected several bluetooth devices in the past with no problems. I purchased a Blackberry Storm (Verizon) and although I can link up the bluetooth connection, as soon as I turn off or the car or the phone, I loose the bluetooth connection. When I check on the dash of the Prius, there is no indication that the Storm has been registered by the Prius. What am I doing wrong? Please help!! Thank you.

    You should go to the Verizon dealer where you bought it from.
    There may be a firmware update for you. This sounds like a software/firmware issue to me (i.e. how the BT profiles wre implemented). Good luck.
    Maybe some Storm owners can shed some light on this.

    Update. Thanks for the feedback. After countless hours on the phone and in person with Verizon, it was decided (only after trying another Storm), that it was indeed a BAD Storm and it was replaced. So, hang in there and don't give up when the Verizon folks tell you it is a problem with your car! Good luck.

    On your phone under tools there is a bluetooth section. There are several options such as connect automatically or prompt etc.. I chose to connect automatically. Now whenever I get in my car and start it.... "BlueTooth". Btw I have a Blackberry Curve. I was having similar issues until I picked automatic connection.

    Best of Luck!
