My Desire pairs with both a 1st and 5th gen ulf module, but will not auto populate the address book. I've just purchased the latest, ULF module (13th gen) to see if that fixes it, You can transfer the numbers one at time during the pairing process, and they are permanently stored once transferred, however that's not ideal, I have over 100 numbers to transfer and it takes time. (you can not however bulk transfer the contacts using any of the current android apps eg: "Bluetooth file transfer") Saving the numbers to my sim seems not to have helped, (had to use "Contacts2sim" to do that, and there is a down side to doing this; every contact now appears twice in my people list) Seeing as you can transfer contacts individually, I'm guessing given the motivation, an android app to transfer the contacts 1 at a time would work. (The method to do this is: follow the BMW instructions for the bluetooth manual transfer, which I recall as being "set the module into pairing mode, and then manually transfer contacts, on the desire this is done: Settings, People, select and hold the contact you want to transfer, Send contact as Vcard, Select bluetooth from the drop down list, press send; rinse and repeat the Desire portion for each contact. ) I may write this app if the 13th gen module fails, but I'll have to be motivated enough to learn to write android apps, (I am a Sysadmin was once a programmer) and it could take me a while. Your most reliable bet would be find an established android programmer/bmw driver and ask them nicely to code an app that replicates the single contact transfer that android can do, or wait for 2.2 and pray.

It's not ideal, but you can use outlook to bulk send all your contacts to files.
Select all your contacts, right click, chooe Send As Business card, wait for aaaaaaages as it builds the pile of vcfs into an email. Copy/paste them to the phone then try "Bluetooth file transfer" to send them all.

I've not tried to save them as individual Vcards, I've attempted to save them as one .vcf file from the phone, but that fails to transfer due to unsupported protocals.
Saving them as multipule files could work. but I've so far assumed that the unsupported protocals were in "Bluetooth file transfer" and not the way the Vcard data was stored. Worth a shot at any rate, but I'll wait till after I get my new ULF, anyone else willing to give it a shot?

I can't speak for the 9th gen ULF module.
however, it seems pretty reliable on the 13th gen, the phonebook transfers, the connection during calls has been good. I have had 1 or 2 occasions where the phone has failed to pair immediately but it sorts its self out pretty quickly. (the issue may have had more to do with the signal not getting though a very heavy motor bike jacket than the ULF. as I recall the phone connected when removed from the jacket.) I see you're in Melbourne, if you're near the CBD I'd be happy to meet you somewhere so you could test your ULF with my phone?

That is the issue I had with the 1st and 4th gen modules yes.
The work-around was. 1. Put the car in pairing mode. 2. Transfer individual contacts as vcards via bluetooth. It gets tiring fast, and there is no confirmation that the contact actually transferred. On the plus side it did remember the contacts between car trips, which I was concerned about. Would be fine if you only wanted ten contacts or so in your car.
