Bluetooth contacts sync?
Hi,
I recently bought a Z4MC and I can't get my phone contacts to sync with the car. The phone pairs no problem and I can receive calls and, if i use the phone itself, make calls.
I've paired and unpaired it, ticked the option on my phone to share my contacts (Samsung S5 Neo) but all I see is a 'please wait' message and the contacts never load.
I've tried searching but I can't find a solution, any advice appreciated.

Have you deleted all previous paired phones, it might not be that but worth a try

Is that the press and hold for the pair button for 10 seconds?

What does the pair button look like? I have a phone button but not sure I actually have the option.

It's in the pull down centre console, by the telephone cradle. It looks the same as the button on the steering wheel to answer calls etcsangbleu wrote:What does the pair button look like? I have a phone button but not sure I actually have the option.

Look into the Bluetooth phonebook app in the play store. This solves contacts not loading problem on some android phones.

I downloaded the app but it made no difference. Unless I have to do something with the app to make it work??no fit state wrote:Look into the Bluetooth phonebook app in the play store. This solves contacts not loading problem on some android phones.

My contacts loaded first time, then my phone did
an update and for some reason the contacts are no longer paired even though the phone is..
Need to work out how to delete it and re pair

I can't remember if I had to set anything up within the app. I can say that it did work on the wife's Nissan Juke when the contacts wouldn't load.Muckinonthesofa wrote:I downloaded the app but it made no difference.

I know this is an old thread but I'm still struggling tried deleting all the phones from the cars memory and even tried using the Bluetooth Phonebook app but cant get the bloody contacts shared with the car....
So I can receive calls fine although the screen just shows a number not the contact name, not the end of the world as I just keep the phone in sight but not being able to dial from my steering wheel is a bit of a nightmare as it means I need to touch the phone (illegal) to make a call

I've had a few phones now that won't sync contacts but I've given up trying. It's old tech and it shows.

Just really annoying that it worked with the phone I had when I bought the car (just over a year ago)
I have upgraded twice since then both times hoping the new model would work

It's odd, some people report that modern phones work perfectly. I had given up as well but found this article the other day;

I haven't had chance to try it yet though. May be a solution??
