Default iPhone bluetooth link?

Anyone with issues? For some reason, the system's not acknowledging the presence of it...

Mine also partially syncs, but no phonebook transfer support as of yet.

I hope Apple updates the software to make this happened.

no phonebook transfer, and it doesn't look to be coming anytime soon. there is a workaround, but you need itunes and another phone with pc cable software. pm me and i'll tell you, and if there are enough people interested, i'll post it. and to get the iphone to pair, first put the car into pairing mode, then go into settings > general > Bluetooth on the iphone, make sure it is turned on, and it should find hands free. tap that, input the passkey and press connect, and you should be cooking.

Yes, but have you gotten the phonebook to transfer?

i belive iphone does not have such feature... thats where the problem is.

iphone is 5/5 multimedia device, and cheap *** phone. I still love it for multimedia features, web browsing, etc, etc, but some things are really ridicilous.

I managed to import my iphone contacts to Laptop and then export them to vcard format. I was able to connect my Laptop to my Lexus through bluetooth. For some reason though when I try to send a vcard over bluetooth to my car only certain ones will make it over, most come back with Transfer Failed. Could it be something with the vcard format that it doesn't like?

Bluetooth works perfectly for me. I love it. With respect to phonebook transfer, no dice. but i manually entered my most common numbers into the GS, and that is pretty cool.

yea mine syncs perfectly to the car however the no phonebook thing kinda sucks. sucks not being able to see who is calling. 9 times out of 10 though my phone is usually in one of the cup holders so i can see who it is
