Hi,
Looked at a few tips on this in forum, but these are incomplete. Is there a definitive yes or no? The Car Kit we have in Hyundai i30 SLX is "Waiting" for the iphone to send the contacts. The iphone is paired fine and works okay just cannot ket the address book up to the carkit. I have seen posts saying it is possible on an audi.
Thanks
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
Recent calls appear but contacts not
The iPhone only supports PBAP(phone book access profile). So, you vehicle's Bluetooth kit must support this as well for your contacts to be avialble. Does it?
Contacts in my iPhone not transferred to car kit through blu
Yes it does. I have read that on maybe earlier IOS when you click on the > "blue arrow" next to the device/phone in bluetooth you get some options that allow syncing with contacts. It does not say this. it goes to a screen that says "Forget thise Device". Basically the Hyundia is waiting for the iphone to send the contacts to it.
Some other Hyundais have a sync that I guess initiates the conversation with the iPhone. I need the iPhone to initiate the conversation as the receiver is waiting.
Yep you are right. The specs for the Hyundai unit dont say it support PBAP it does AADP and ARCP so it does the music thing etc but not the phonebook. My solution will be to use my Nkia to upload the contacts that way.
The best solution is to save your contacts as Vcard , then transfer it by your laptop bluetooth while you see ( waiting ) in your car phonebook status.
