Phone Book Question
Anyone else have this problem? Is this "normal"? Should I take the car in to be fixed? Thanks |

May be a phone realted issue. Is yours fully compatible? I use the Verizon Blackberry Storm and it syncs up 100% of the time - so far.

Check the Bluetooth settings on your phone. For example if it's an iPhone you have to select settings > general > Bluetooth > select the vehicle > there you will see the settings. Make sure all are switched to "on" and make sure under "other groups" at the bottom of the screen that "All Contacts" is checked. Should sync properly.

Thanks to both of the above posters. I appreciate the help. How do I transfer SIM card contacts to the hard drive? I think the Iphone contacts are on the SIM card but am not 100% sure. Thanks |

You can not transfer the contacts to the car permanently (Hard Drive), but you can make sure the iPhone contacts are in the phone by going to: Settings-> Mail, Contacts, Calendars-> Import SIM Contacts.

I do not think the Iphone has a SIM card. At least mine does not. The car will only sync up to 1000 phone numbers, not contacts. So if you have 500 contacts, but each one of those contacts has a home phone number, work phone number, cell phone number and fax number, the car will try and sync all of them, including the fax number! For 500 contacts that would be 2,500 numbers. It will not sync all the contacts, it will sync the first 1000 numbers in the contacts list.
BMW are supposed to be coming out with a fix that will increase the total phone numbers allowed to sync to 1,200 sometime in January 2010. Not really enough of a fix in my opinion and why would you need to sync a fax number to the car???

I have an Iphone 3G and it has a SiMM card. It is pretty well hidden and you may not know its there. Maybe that fix will help.
