I just ordered a 2006 Prius, and was reading through the chats here about using Bluetooth phones. The Prius I ordered is option package #5, which according to Toyota includes "hands-free phone capability via Bluetooth wireless technology". However, various comments on this forum say Bluetooth phones only work if you have the Navigation system, which is packages #7 and #8. So does anyone know if I'll be able to use my phone with option package #5? It's not a deal breaker, but something to look forward to if it's possible. Thanks! - John
