e46 bluetooth contacts
Discussion
Just set up the bluetooth on the car for the first time there but any idea on how to sync contacts?
The manual says something about it being done automatically but when I try and bring up any numbers it states 'NO PHONE' on the radio.
On my phone it says connected to car audio so doesn't seem to be an issue with the actual connection.
Phone is an HTC Desire.

Hi,
What you'll find is there's various versions and revisions of the Bluetooth modules themselves. Not all will support the phonebook sync etc. You've got to find which version is in your car, then cross reference with the list of known other versions which do support the function you want and purchase that. Then swap them over and hope the one you've bought is a working unit. You'll then get phonebook sync.
That all said, as time moves on the smartphone handsets will contunie to be updated and different Bluetooth stacks etc will come into being. At some point, it's most likely these old BMW bluetooth units from currently 8+ years ago just won't be able to connect with newer devices.
I can't remember where I've seen a list of the various versions which had the functions of what each could do next to the part numbers, there's only a couple of them with phonebook support as well... you'll need to start searching all the BMW forums to try and find it.
Cheers, Dennis.
