Connect 2 cell phones to Prius Bluetooth

You can't do it. It's inherent in Bluetooth.

The Prius can be paired with up to 4 Bluetooth cell phones. However, only one can be active at a time (using the microphone and and speaker system to carry on a conversation). You can choose which Bluetooth cell phone should connect with the Prius by going to the Bluetooth Phone Settings page, and Selecting from the scroll-down menu choices the Telephone Selection setting. (The Prius acts like a Bluetooth headset.) You shouldn't have to delete the 1st phone to connect the

What do you think would happen if both your cell phone and your wife's cell phone each received a call at the same time? Or if the phones called each other? That is why only one phone can be connected at a given time.

I realize only one phone can be used at a time. I do not understand how to pair 4 Bluetooth cell phones? Can you explain this process?

I was asked to checked the owners manual again. The 2006 owners manual has a large section on Handsfree. I finally found the section you were refering to. In 2006 up to 6 cell phones can be registered. I was able to register both phones after a couple of tries.

Switching between registered phones takes a few steps but can be done.

For a 2004-2005 Prius, this is listed in the Navigation Owner's Manual. I'm guessing that the Bluetooth section was moved into the main Owner's Manual for 2006/2007, but I do not have a copy of one of these manuals to point out the section. In the 2004 Prius Navigation Owner's Manual, it's in the "Other Functions - Hands-Free system" section," specifically on pages 110-112. There's a section for "Enter the Bluetooth Phone" and "Select the Bluetooth Phone."

I may have mis-spoke. You can have up to 4 Bluetooth phones registered with the car, but only one at a time may be paired. You select which phone (of those that are registered with the car) to pair at any given time.
