Despite owning a second generation Toyota Prius for nearly four years now I’ve not experienced this issue until this week.<\/p>\n
When you put a Prius into reverse gear the touch screen automatically switches to the rear view camera. This has always worked well for me however when a phone call comes in and your phone is connected via Bluetooth this is where problems arise.<\/p>\n
Ideally, once the rear view camera has been engaged it should stay engaged until the Prius is shifted out of reverse gear. However, a phone call will take over the entire display which can be inconvenient and perhaps unsafe if you are\u00a0maneuvering\u00a0in a very tight or obstacle rich environment. In my mind, this is a huge flaw and unnecessarily compromises safety.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, this is addressed in the 2012 Toyota Prius and this will be one of the first things I will check out. If you’re vehicle has both Bluetooth hands free telephony and a reverse camera then this might be worth checking out for yourself just in case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
