Contacts not syncing with Hyundai bluetooth

This can happen if you have contacts that contain special characters in the name. Make sure you don't. The system will choke on those.

I know this an old thread, but still valid as there is no fix.

Hyundai (Australia) told me today IOS8 is the last operating system that will work properly.

This is confirmed by my old iPhone 4 working perfectly with the i30 bluetooth, but the iPhone SE only has some contacts, and does not display the name on incoming calls.

This happened to me a few weeks ago and I have been trying to figure out why. I have owned my car 5 years and never experienced a problem in the past. I have tried deleting and pairing my phone, rebooting the phone, and even went to my Hyundai dealership for help. Two service reps worked to sync my contacts for about 1/2 hour and they couldn't make it work either. I'm really frustrated and unlike you, expect at least an explanation and would sure like a fix. This is very frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having the same problem with my 2014 Acrua MDX was woking fine until I upgraded Iphone 2 months ago.

Dod the most current upgrade and still a problem. It si uploading but only through my A's in my contact list ( about 20 contacts) then it stops importing. It is paired and is working partially-- Can I get help with this or is there an upgrade fix coming?

What is your infotainment system ?

Colour 2 din or old digital radio ?

I have same problem with Hyundai i30

It's a 2015 model, pre Apple carplay, so I guess it's what you refer to as old radio. It's not a DAB digital radio, and I'm not sure what Colour 2 DIN is.

Your radio is first one (no color), or second one ? (Color screen)

The second one (RHD)

I am also having this issue, in addition to general Bluetooth issues since I got iOS 9. I use it in my 2011 Hyundai Sonata. I have not had any issues prior. Incoming calls work, but outgoing calls and all media does not.

Delete the pairing from both the phone and the audio system, reboot both, then re-pair them.

I do this about once a week to see if it remedies the issue to no avail unfortunately. I've had this issue since I upgraded to iOS 9. I'm using an iPhone 6.

What system do you have the car? Do you have navigation? Have you checked with your Hyundai dealer to see if there are any updates available for the system?

This does not work. I have tried it repeatedly with contact sync on and off initially, soft booting the phone and restoring to factory settings the car.

This just started happening suddenly with no iOS system upgrade this week; it worked perfectly up until now.

I contacted Hyundai (ours is a 2013 Sonata) about an upgrade and they claim not to have one, although upgrading the GPS may improve things ($175 US)

I have a 2013 Sonata & an iphone 6. The contact list from my phone shows up on the Sonata navigation screen & I can use it to dial out calls (the screen will show that I am calling "Dad.") Whenever a call comes into the car, it doesn't use my contact list. The call will show the phone number but instead of (310) 444-5555, the number on the screen looks like this: 13-104-445555. I have deleted & added the phone back. I have done a complete factory reset on my iphone (that one took 3 hours to reload everything & did nothing.)

The biggest problem is that when a call comes in, you look at the screen, can't figure out who is calling you & you spend too much time looking at the screen & not at the road you are on!

I have found with my 2012 Sonata Hybrid that I face a similar situation at times. While I have custom ringtones for my family contacts, it doesn't really matter as much. Have you updated the software in your Sonata system lately? I did mine not too long back and it seems it started then. It is almost as if you have the country code in your contacts that the audio system has trouble interpreting it. I've been testing the system, and if I find any further thoughts or solutions, I'll post them.
