how do i transfer phone book to the car? i see no option on phone to transfer contacts via bluetooth
I'm having a similar problem with my infiniti ex35. it connects but when it tries to download the phone book nothing happens and the car eventually says there is an error...
Has anyone tried to pair the driod with Ford's Sync?how do i transfer phone book to the car? i see no option on phone to transfer contacts via bluetooth
This worked for me, as long as you have a download contacts option, I would think it would work regardless of brand.
Found an easy solution to Droid phonebook issue, on my 09 Milan with nav.
1. Downloaded "Bluetooth file transfer" app from market .
2. Exported contacts to SD card ( in menu options within contacts)
3. Bluetooth app is pretty easy to use, opens in file explorer style, touch and hold the contacts (.vcf) and begin transfer, should find sync, and connect if phone is already paired and you have selected add contacts on sync.
4. Quick download of over 200 contacts, and they are all there!
Note: I was also having lots of issues entering sync 6 digit password in phone, ( while using phone in landscape), tried it in portrait and does not close rapidly.
I have a Pioneer headunit in my truck and my old razr used to be able to download/transfer the phonebook with no problem...when I try to connect my droid, I can pair it okay but when the headunit promps to download the phonebook, the bluetooth disconnects and it only get's three contacts transferred.
Getting very frustrating...on the plus side, the bluetooth audio feature works great, can listen to media through my car stereo from the droid through bluetooth.
Anybody else having this phonebook problem too?

My Droid paired fine with my car Mercedes C350 however the car will not prompt to receive contacts. There is an option to receive business cards from the car but it will not detect my phone book in the droid. My last phone LG Venus had a Bluetooth setting which allowed me to push contacts while I simultanously enabled receive business cards on the car to get my phone book loaded. I'm at a loss here with the Droid..
Breadman50's instructions worked flawlessly with the Mercedes C350.
In the car, get to the screen where you can select "receive business cards" and hit OK.
The screen will then say 0, but leave the screen up
Follow the above instructions and watch the 0 tick up as your contacts are populated

This method didn't work on my G35. Anyone had success with an Infinti? I think it is recognizing it as a media device and not a phone. I hope there's a BT profile update with next system update.
It worked on my 2009 G37x with NAV.
First I had to export the Contacts to the SD card
Then on the car select Call Download.
Then using Bluetooth File Transfer ap, I long pressed the file that was created on the SD card
Then a window came up asking me what I wanted to do ...
Choose Send via Bluetooth
It then gives you a list of the Bluetooth devices that are paired with the Droid. I picked MY-CAR, which is what the G37x calls itself as a default, I think.
The phone says connecting to device, and the car says downloading.
It worked! THANKS!!
