Sharing contacts with in-car head units

Hello everyone. I'm new to the iPhone having upgraded from the Windows mobile devices I've always had in the past.
I have a small problem. I'm having trouble sending my contacts list to my in-car head unit, a Kenwood DNX7200. I've paired the device easily enough, but I just can't figured out how to Bluetooth my contact across. It was never difficut with my Windows phones, but the iPhone is giving me a headache!
Once it's done, I can access my contacts from the touch-screen without having to pick up the handset whilst driving.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • ZEN X-Fi3 and Kenwood in car head unit.

    Hi,
    Will the ZEN X-Fi3 work and play nicely with my Kenwood in car head unit?
    My old Zen MicroPhoto played over aux-in, but refused to do anything over USB.
    Have things moved on, will new Zen devices operate over USB, thereby giving full device control through the Kenwood head unit?
    Thank you.

    Hello FantasticPlace,
    Base from the knowledge base article, it's possible.
    5. USB car stereo connection:
    These connections will only read your player through "removable drive". In this case, the USB port would apply only for Mass Storage Class (MSC) players such as a ZEN X-Fi3, ZEN X-Fi2, ZEN Style M300/M100, ZEN X-Fi Style, ZEN Style.
    Here's the link to the article. By the way, welcome to the forums!

  • Car head units for the 3G?

    Anyone knows of some that can both charge and transmit sound from the 3G via the iPod/iPhone connector without issues?

    There have been many many reports of the new iPods not working with existing accessories including car head units.
    My iPod Classic does not work with my Kenwood car unit. However, I have other older iPods that do so it's no big deal.

  • Sharing contacts with icloud

    My iPad2 and iphone4s are no longer sharing contacts with icloud. I have checked everything I can think of. Please help

    Thanks, both were checked, but I decided to turn off contacts on on the iPad, kept contacts, then turned on again. That worked at least so far. Thanks for helping me get my brain working!!

  • How can you view an application to a car head unit

    how can you view an application to a car head unit ( example) is the Motion X GPS

    What do you mean car head unit? Like another display?
    If you mean another display, it would only be supported by that specific app and car.

  • IPod Touch no longer working with car Head Unit since update

    Hi there, I have a problem with using my iPod Touch with my car's head unit.
    I've been using my iPod Touch with the Alpine IDA X001 Head unit fitted in my car for the last 3 months without any problems, however I installed the latest software update for the Touch (v4.0) and now the head unit connects and then says no USB device. At first I thought it was the cable as the cable supplied with the head unit is pretty fragile, so I've replaced it with a new one but it still doesn't work.
    I've tested with my iPod Nano and it works perfectly so its not a problem with the head unit or lead (I plugged the Touch in and it didn't work, plugged the Nano in and worked perfectly and then plugged the Touch in and didn't work).
    Can anyone help or is it gonna be a case of Restoring the iPod Touch back to factory settings ????

    I was also having this problem with my Kenwood car stereo. I went into the store and they did a complete restore. I didn't think it worked but the next time I plugged it into my usb to connect with my car stereo it worked. So you might try doing a restore.

  • Alpine car head unit syncing problems with ipad 2

    I have just purchased an ipad 2 and I love it. I am setting it up in my car to use as a head unit. I want to control my car sound system using my ipad 2 but have it plugged into my Alpine head unit. Here's the dilemma, my head unit has two input settings. 1) An Aux input 2)ipod ready controller - The head unit has a cable that connects to the 30pin ipod doc and then I can control my ipod through my head unit. Here is the model head unit that I have
    http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/cda-105/
    Now I obviously can use the Aux plug in and that does work BUT the quality doesn't compare when using the ipod controller 30pin cable. The ipad 2 does sync to the head unit but I can now only control my music through the head unit. I want to still have control over the ipad 2. Is there any possible way to make this happen? Is there a setting on the ipad 2 or the head unit that I should be aware about? I really don't want to resort to the Aux just to have control...

    I've never used the 105 but have owned several Alpines. They traditionally do not allow iPod/iPad/iPhone control. You would need to get a Pioneer to use the 30pin connector and control is from the i device itself.

  • JVC AVX 2 Car head unit not compatible with ipod touch.

    Hi I upgraded to an Ipod touch 2nd gen 8 gig. I was just wondering because my old ipod mini can sync with my cars headunit or player but with the ipod touch it only displays accessory connected. I am a bit frustrated because it seems that I cannot use this ipod touch in my car since it cant read it.
    Will apple provide a fix with this? Coz i am really frustrated since I already gave away my ipod mini which can be read by easily by my cars headunit.

    Hello. Has there been any updates on this problem. I also have a AVX 2 and I do prefer using the aux input so I can stream my music videos from my ipod touch to my headunit. This is were my problem starts. I have the new video cable for the ipod touch and have connected it to my headunit via the aux input. As i stream the video it gives me approx 30 seconds on the headunit display and then cuts out. After that it only uses audio and runs the video on the touch.
    Can apple at least answer the topics discussion where there is obviously a PROBLEM!!!!

  • Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2007 Shared Contacts with Attachments

    We have an Exchange 2010 server. There is only one Exchange server so all roles are on this server.
    Found out that sharing contacts between users misses something. 
    If a user has Attachments or Notes in their contacts we can see via the Attachment column in Contacts that there are attachments.
    But another user viewing the shared Contacts of the user above, cannot see if the Contacts have Attachments unless they open each one. The Attachment column states there are no Attachments. Is this how it is? Is it a syncing issue? 
    The image I have attached is what the user sees accessing a shared contact address book. It shows Notes and the Attachments columns. The contacts with partial words visible in the Notes column should have a Paper Clip Icon as they also have attached items. 

    Hi,
    There is no related feature in Exchange server to manage Outlook view.
    Additionally, I shared my Contact with another user in my Exchange 2010 SP3 with Outlook 2013 environment. And it showed the same results as yours. The attachments icon was not shown in the list view in another user’s Outlook but it appeared in my own Contact.
    Thanks,

  • How can i stop my iphone 4s from sharing contacts with my husbands phone

    My husband and I share an Icloud. How can I prevent my contacts and information from going into his phone.  thank goodness I do not get his contacts in mine!

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

  • How do I setup useful shared contacts with Exchange OWA Outlook 2013

    Hi There,
    I have a non profit I'm helping out. They have Exchange 2013 Sp1 & outlook 2013 .
    How can I setup shared contacts for Outlook and OWA users?
    I have been struggling to setup a useful shared contacts folder. No Matter what way I do it there seems to be major shortcomings.
    They have 1 "Shared" mailbox account [email protected] and many user accounts [email protected]
    I first imported the contacts from csv into a contacts folder in the info@ account, which works great for the Info@ user. When I share the folder with other users they can see it listed in "People" in full Outlook, but if they're addressing a message
    they can't see the contacts when they hit the TO button. If I look at the properties of the Info@ Contacts folder in the folder list of the User, the Outlook Address Book tab is missing. Also can't find any way in OWA for User@ to open the shared contact folder.
    I also tried using Public folders to share the contacts but found problems there too. Using Full desktop Outlook, users can share contacts, add to their Outlook address book etc. Great, but... there's no way to access Public Folder Contact folders in OWA.
    They're a fully volunteer organization so many people are using OWA from home, they're not IT people so it needs to be easy. 
    Is there something I'm missing, when I started out on the task I thought it would be simple. Its hard to believe after all this time MS hasn't addressed these major shared contact shortcomings.
    Thanks for any help!

    I decided to go with a mixed solution.
    Not every member has a society email account, only the executive and key volunteers have society exchange email accounts.
    I imported the society member list into the the GAL, this allows any society mail users to email other members easily 
    I then imported the larger marketing list into the shared mail account which is restricted to a few users. They can be shared from there to other users, but they can only access those shared contact from Outlook (not OWA)
    It's not ideal as OWA users cannot access the contacts from the Shared Mailbox but they can at least find other members addresses easily. 
    It looks like I could also setup a new GAL and share it with only some users, haven't dug too deeply into this yet.  
    Thanks for your help Ed

  • Will iTunes Match sync iTunes tags from car head units?

    I have a pioneer avh-x8500 bhs.. It does iTunes tagging from hd radio and from siriusxm.. Supposedly creates a "tagged playlist folder" but I can't see it.. Is this because I use match?

    You should check with the head unit manufacturer; they can most likely answer your question.

  • Sharing Contacts With Family

    With the new update, and the new family sharing program, my parents have all of my contacts in their phone. How can I get rid of them on their phones?

  • Problems Sharing Contacts with iCloud

    My wife and I each have an iPhone and and an iCloud account.  However, all our contacts are on my Mac (my Apple ID).  I have created a new account in my address book for my wife's iCloud which has successfully shared the Calander but it hasn't worked for contacts, does anyone know why or how I can fix it?

    I fixed it by temporarily unchecking iCloud syncing in my Address Book, I have the feeling this is a not-solved bug of iCloud. After unchecking all my Address Book synced fine with my iPhone.
    I do know this is not the expected answer, perhaps, but it an interim solution. In general, do not trust in such automatic syncing, make local, controllable backup of your essential data.

  • ICloud Drive, what about sharing contacts with my older iOS devices?

    Hi folks, I have finally upgraded my Macbook Pro to Yosemite and my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 and Monday will be the promising iOS 8.1.
    During the process I have been offered to also update my iCloud account to iCloud Drive.
    Sounds cool and necessary to benefit from a few extra features however I still own and use a iPhone 3GS and another iPhone 4.
    It's clear that with iCloud Drive I won't be able to share documents among those devices; I can live with that but what about my contacts, calendars and Safari bookmarks not to mention Photos and iTunes Match, would that be the end of it or would those later services still be shared among older and newer devices?
    I can't see it clearly stated among iCloud Drive specs and now I am hesitating with the update..
    P

    Hi randers4, your explanation convinced me and I have made the plunge and upgraded to iCloud Drive.
    It works as you explained, all other services such as Safari Bookmarks, Reminders, Contacts and keep syncing data among them. Nice.
    It will be interesting however, how custom folders and files, will share among different users.
    Haven't found much documentation on that either but suspect the mechanism won't be as refined as in DropBox.
    For instance: as far as I can see, I can't create/copy a link to one specific folder I have created but have to use either Mail, Messages, or one of the SocialMedia I have registered on the Mac.
    But perhaps I should start a new topic on this
    Thanks and regards
