Hi a.eddywords,

To setup a Google Contacts CardDav account, it is recommended that SSL is enabled. It sounds like this is where the issue lies, here is some helpful information:

iOS: Syncing with Google Contacts

Additional Information

Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings), and that the port is 443.

Thanks,

Matt M.

Matt-

I followed the instructions however (changing port to 443, etc) I still got a prompt saying "Cannot Connect Using SSL."
