Hi
A friend of mine has just got a desire and is having problems syncing contacts to their 3 series. All contacts sync over fine - exept those that have contact pictures. The car does not recognise them.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
Ive had this problem before and also with other phones, the BMW system works perfectly if you have contacts that fill standard fields. Things like pictures, notes etc can stop it from working, problem also occurs in VW and Audi.
The only thing you can do is remove all the extras in your contacts.
Heh
VW, Audi, BMW... All can't handle address books with data in non-standard fields.
My g/f's Ford Fiesta handles my address book without any problems

I have a Volkswagen Touareg with a bluetooth phone prep, which is a remote Sim Access Profile type and possibly made by Nokia, the manual mentions Nokia HT-2, which I am trying to connect my HTC TyTN too. I have recently ugraded to the WM 6 ROM from the HTC website, works brilliantly, and am using the SAP Manager tool included to make the connection, which is fine.
But I cannot copy my phone book, which happens to be my ActiveSync contacts from an outlook exchange server. I have installed the Jetware Mobile app, discussed in a similar thread here, but no joy. Does anyone have any ideas please? Is there a widget I could install or some modification I could make that would achieve it, as it is a ball ache to manually dial every number I need from the steering wheel when it is just in the phonebook. Many thanks.
use gmail account
Hello,
I have the same problem. Converting the contacts to a gmail account en use the gmail app the synchronize mail & contact. that works fine .
Best regards,

Using Samsung Focus, really like WP7 and this phone. Have facebook selected to only display information in contacts on people I already have in contacts. Works fine on phone.
Have a Garmin Zumo 550 GPS on my motorcycle, phone is bluetooth connected to GPS which is connected into intercom system on bike. GPS contacts shows all facebook people, not just the people in phone contact list.
I deleted FB from phone, turned on GPS and then only the contacts in my phone showed on GPS. Was really happy all those extra FB people were not in GPS contact list anymore.
Recreated FB account on phone with display only info on people already in contacts option selected, turned on GPS again, and all FB people showed up in GPS contacts. NOT HAPPY.
This is a WP7 problem. How can WP7 be stopped from sending FB people to GPS or other Bluetooth devices? (without the obvious, remove FB account from phone)
Anybody know to stop WP7 from sending all Facebook friends to contact list on a Bluetooth connected GPS?
Phone is set to only display Facebook friends info only on contacts already in phone, and it works on phone contact list but is sending all of my Facebook friends to list on Bluetooth device. Why?
it doesn't appear to be possible to stop it at present. Perhaps post this as an issue in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836373, and maybe bring it up on the social.microsoft.com?
sorry we couldn't be of more help.
Thank you for replying. I'll copy and paste my problem onto the sites you recommended from desktop tonight.
I just got a car that has bluetooth. When I went to sync my phone, it used the PBAP profile and tried to sync my address book.
The problem is that I have about 2,000 entries in my address book, and the car has a limit of 1,000 entries. And, it seemed to just do a random selection. I really only need a small number in my car, but the car seems to only have options to sync the address book from a phone and to delete it from the car.
So, is there any way, on the EVO, to limit which contacts will get synced over bluetooth? For example, is there any way that I can just create a group of "important" contacts, and limit the sync with my car to just those?
I probably only need to do the sync once (or rarely anyway).
Any ideas?
Hey guys,
I was reading on it quite a bit and I'm not the only one who has this issue. Contacts do not sync into the car for me to make a call directly from my car's onboard computer.
I have a BMW with i-drive and everything was working fine when I had an iPhone. I tried multiple solutions that I found on the internet and nothing worked.
I have an idea now, what if I replace my whole phones contacts application with some third party app, I believe that the reason behind this sync issue is the contacts app note 2 comes with.
Any suggestions on a simple contact app? All I want is for it to sync my Google contacts and for my phone to finally work with my car.
after a 3 months of bottle I fixed it !
1. go to contacts accounts and remove every account. unpair phone from your car
2. go to running applications / open bluetooth share / stop bluetoothPbapService
3. connect phone vie bluetooth to the car.
4. restart your phone and add google contacts back
Done!
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could help, I have my G3 connected to my 2014 Audi fine, can stream music via Spotify and also make calls using the handsfree however the phonebook is messed up.
As I use my phone for work this is getting to be an issue, I have set the G3 up so I only see contacts from my phone and not external accounts such as Facebook etc. Additionally I have also configured it so it only include contacts with phone numbers.
I have around 100 contacts on the phone however when it sync's with the Audi it picks up 800 from somewhere, these are a combination of e-mail accounts that I have e-mailed in gmail over the years.
Has anyone ever seen this? Prior to this I have a Nexus 5 which synched fine without any issues as expected.
Thanks in advance.
