Have you tried the process for transferring individual contacts across, its a pain in the neck, but it might work for you.. Unfortunately in my experience the newer your BT module the better chance you have of auto transferring the contacts. |

Try this mate, it works with my x6 and my old n95
First, delete the pair on the phone and car. Then, go into pairing mode on the car, and use the X6/N95 to find the car. Enter your pin number so the phone is paired. Don't exit pairing mode on the BMW yet. Now on the X6/N95 go to contacts. Select about 10-15 contacts, Then go to options -> send business card -> via bluetooth. Select the BMW from the list of bluetooth devices and it'll send them across. Repeat for the rest of your contact list. You may end up with a few duplicates in your BMW phonebook depending on whether your original contacts had multiple phone numbers or not. But it definitely works and displays incoming call name properly etc. I tried doing the whole contacts list in one go but it failed - doing it piecemeal takes a little longer but its a one time thing. My car is a 2003 E46 with satnav + TV + BT prep (Gen13). Anyone with a different model please report back if this procedure works.

I am leaving this as a last resort because once the contacts are transferred this way you are stacked with them ... I mean no update on them. It is really annoying to have to do this with a BT 3.0 phone, exactly in the same manner as I did so time ago with a Ericsson T39m!!! probably among the first phones to have BT...it did work with ericsson all the contacts at once btw The car is the same in both cases - E53 05 reg |

Buy a phone that works with the car then, not the phone you like.

Nokia seems to have departed from the globally accepted norm for phonebook transfers with their smart phones.
