Contacts transferred to Alpine GPS (finally!)
I've had my droid for almost a week and contacts never auto-downloaded to my Alpine PND-K3msn portable GPS; a couple times I got a notification that there was a request to download (each time I approved) but no contacts ever appeared. My old POS Razr did this automatically, the one thing it was good for.
By messing around in the settings I (somewhat accidentally) got these two fine devices to make "contact love". I hope this will work for others as well; it's something that apparently needs to be addressed in a droid update, but it works for me, for now. . .
Settings>Wireless and Networks>Bluetooth Settings>Select the device you want to download contacts from (HOLD DOWN until new menu appears)>Options>UNCHECK "Phone" (may resist, may need to hold down for a bit)>RECHECK "Phone"
In my case (about 120 contacts), it takes about 20 seconds, then all my contacts and call logs are available. I'm so relieved that this is possible, albeit a total pain to perform on each new connection. Like I said above, Motorola/Verizon need to work this out. Hope this helps.
