Cannot retrieve IPhone contacts on car Bluetooth device

With iPhone connected to car Bluetooth I am unable to access phone contacts but can use phone

It depends on the make, model, year, and options on the car. I have used 2 iPhones (iPhone 4 & 5s) with 3 different cars. Two of the cars were able to access the iPhone contacts and one does not. Some research led me to the car manufacturer's website where they showed which phones and which features on those phones were supported. In the one case it clearly stated that they supported calling but not access to the contacts. You may want to either do some internet searching or reply with the car's make, model and year here.

  • Synching iPhone contacts with car Bluetooth.

    I have a MB GLK 350 and an iPhone4 with iOS 5.  Each time I try to synch up my phone contact list with the bluetooth device, it disconnects from the bluetooth.  I can use the phone on hands free if I select a contact but it will not download the contacts.  Can anyone help me address this issue?

    If the system supports the PBAP (Phone Book Access Protocol), contacts will upload automatically. If it does not, you can not transfer your contacts to the system.
    Check the documentation for your in-car system.

  • How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4.  The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

    How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4?  The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.

    That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

  • I just bought a new 2013 Honda civic and my iPhone 4S won't pair with the cars Bluetooth device but it did on other people's iPhones; I have no other Bluetooth devices on my phone. Any suggestions?

    I have to ask,
    Are you making sure you are in park before attempting the sync?   The car won't allow you to do it in motion, whether or not you're the passenger.

  • E51 cannot tranfer phone contacts to Car phone dir...

    Can anyone help here! I cannot transfer my contacts list via bluetooth from my E51 phone sim card to the cars phone directory.I can made and receive calls ok and I've read all the instructions, even the demo video! I could always do this with my 6230i no problems ! Help please

    Hi all,
    The "Contact Download Application" is not a complete solution for this problem. I have a Parrot 3200-LS which worked fine with my old 6230i - the contacts synched across and the call log (outgoing/incoming/missed) was accessible through the Parrot.
    Running the Application on the E51 does force the contacts onto the Parrot, but it never stops (the animation on the Parrot constantly rotates - you never get a "synch finished" message). Running the application in the background constantly must also run the battery down. The call log does not get synched at all.
    So surely this is a band aid fix with a firmware update in the pipeline? Otherwise the sheer convenience may force me back to my 6230i.

  • TS3581 Iphone 4 wont discover bluetooth devices ie. my car

    Out of the blue my iphone 4 has stopped connecting with bluetooth devices.  I removed my car builtin bluetooth out of my phone and took my phone out of the car's system.  It was synced to the car's system but just stopped working.  Car is brand new 2013 Ford Explorer & I'm sure it's not the car.  I've tried to add the phone but it just spins and says discoverable but does nothing.  This is why I'm sure it's the phone!  It won't discover any bluetooth device. I have shut off my phone, reset my phone, made sure my phone was charged, deleted things that could be taking up to much memory etc.  My phone software is current @ iOS 6.1.3
    Please help!!!!

  • Two sets of contacts showing in bluetooth device

    I have an iPhone 4, iMac, Mobile Me account and Volkswagen in-car telephone kit. I use Mobile Me to show my mail and iCal on the iMac as my diary, the Address Book also syncs with Mobile Me from the iMac. When I tried to sync with the VW bluetooth device it's display shows 2 of every contact, I assume it's reading the contacts from Mobile Me and the Address Book from the iMac.
    How do I get the VW to see only one list of contacts which would be updated as and when necessary?

    This is the data included with the iPhone's backup, which is created and maintained by iTunes separately for each iPhone.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Each iPhone can have its own sync preferences with iTunes on the same computer, but it is probably a good idea to disable automatic syncing by iTunes when each iPhone is connected to iTunes to confirm the selections under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for each iPhone before syncing.
    With your wife's iPhone, do not select sync contacts with the supported application on your computer for syncing contacts that you are using with your iPhone under the Info tab for your wife's iTunes sync preferences, and the same for calendar events if you are syncing calendar events with a supported application on your computer with your iPhone.
    Your wife can create an iTunes playlist or playlists for the music she wants transferred to her iPhone, and she can select available video under the Video tab for her iPhone sync preferences that she wants transferred to her iPhone, and the same for photos under the Photos tab for her iPhone sync preferences. You can have the same or different iTunes content selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Music and Videos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, and the same for photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences.

  • Having problems with pairing my Iphone 5 with other bluetooth  devices

    I'm having problem with pairing my Iphone5 with other Bluetooth devices like another phone and bluetooth headphone.
    I followed all the right instructions of the other device, but the Iphone just would not pair with them!!

    You can not pair it with another phone at all. That's not a feature of the iPhone. Never has been.
    As for the headphone, is it in discoverable mode?

  • Cannot share iPhone contact with macbook pro? HELP

    I am the proud owner of a iphone 5 and a macbook pro. I need help concerning the contact transfer, i'd like to have my iphone contact automatically transferd to my macbook.
    Thanks community

    I just discovered that I am having this problem too!
    I figured that there was a problem when trying to pair instead if being asked to input the code on my iPhone, I was simply asked to 'Confirm that the PIN code XXXXX is being shown on the MacBook Pro'
    On the iPhone, the MacBook Pro is then shown as 'Not Connected'
    When I click on it on the iPhone, I get the error:
    'Connection Unsuccessful'
    'MacBook Pro is not supported'
    'Forget this device'
    I don't have any other issues with headphones and headsets connected to both devices and other phones, a Samsung and two Nokias, connecting to the MBP.
    There seems to be no way to initiate pairing from the iPhone.
    Frankly, this is ridiculous.

  • HT1296 i cannot sync iphone contacts to my macbook

    How do I sync iphone contacts to my macbook? i have tried the obvious: connecting the phone, going into iTunes and selecting Info and Contacts and sync and apply, but nothing happens on my Mac. Thank you for any feedback.

    Make sure you enter at least one unique contact (one that is not on your phone - make up an imaginary friend if necessary) in the Address Book on your Macbook before you sync, and choose the "merge" option when you sync. The contacts on your phone will sync to address book on your Macbook, and your imaginary friend will sync to your phone. You can delete him if you want.

  • Cannot sync iphone contacts to itunes to sync with address book

    need to import iPhone contacts into new mac.trying to use iTunes, but it is not syncing. Tried mobile me, no luck. Help

    What is the problem?
    Why not move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one?
    If you sync your iphone to a blank computer, then the contacts will be erased.

  • I cannot retrieve my contacts on iCloud

    I am trying to retrieve my contacts but the only thing that is showing is my grandson's contacts.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    By merging and then deleting, you have erased them from the phone and iCloud. Do you have a back up.

  • HT4859 I deleted some contacts from my iphone 5 which then deleted the same contacts from my iphone 4s which I use for work, I cannot retrieve these contacts via icloud or itunes on my laptop

    How do I retreive my contacts that I deleted from my iphone 5 and these contacts were then deleted from my iphone 4s which I use for work. I cannot retreive them from icloud or via itunes on my laptop

    If you are sharing the same iCloud account any data you sync with the account (such as contacts) is merged, and any actions you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) also takes place on the device(s) sharing the account.  To fix this, you need to be on separate iCloud accounts.
    One of you needs to migrate their iCloud data to a separate iCloud account/ID.  In your situation, this might be able to do with his phone.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud on his phone, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with a separate ID and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can sign into each account separately on icloud.com and delete the other person's data from each account.
    To get the contacts on you iPad into your husband's iPhone and iCloud account, make sure his phone has Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud.  Download the app My Contacts Backup on your iPad and use this to back up your contacts as an attachment to an email.  Send this email to your husband.  Have him open it on his phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts to his phone, and to his iCloud account.

  • Is there no way to make the iPhone 3G support multiple bluetooth devices?

    I use a bluetooth headset and my car has bluetooth support. My old phone would automatically connect to whichever device is on and in range. On the iPhone 3G, I have to manually unpair/pair each time I get home or leave home. This is very cumbersome. Is there no way around this and/or will there be a fix update out soon?

    Go to the control panel/devices and printers, right click on the printer and then select printing preferences. There should be an option in the printing preferences for Page Order. Just change it to the other setting, click Apply then Ok. Print another document and see if page 1 is now on top.
