bluetooth - download phone book

I went to the dealer asked about if the phone book download works to the car and he said no. All the techs there tried and I tried with 2 phones with no luck... It just says Failed! Any one know which phones this feature works with?

You can find all of the bluetooth enabled phones that are compatible with the G here.


To synch the phonebook's contacts, you do the following:

Start --> Bluetooth --> Bluetooth Send Object --> Contacts --> Select All

Wait a second, I even checked the 08 QX...no iphone? I find that hard to believe since there is even an interface for the ipod.

Canuck, is it true?

Considering that the iPhone was just released, it doesn't surprise me that it's not listed as an "officially" supported phone yet. But just because it's not listed doesn't mean it won't work.

Hmmm... has anyone tried testing a LG Chocolate VX8550 with the car? I'm not sure if it's just the same as the VX8500.

I believe that they have to be programmed since Bluetooth phones have different frequences? I think it's like having a bluetooth headset and saying that any phone can get into that headset if they're close enough type thing. This is my best explanation.

It's all about the protocols supported over the bluetooth connection.

There's a handsfree profile,
There's a stereo headphone profile,
There's OBEX object exchange. jpeg, vcard, mp3 etc.

Bluetooth is restricted to a narrow band. All bluetooth phones use all freqs in the band. Thats why its a standard. The mfgs can select the protocols they want to support, then the carrier ( like verizon ) turns off certain functions like OBEX in your phone. Verizon wants you to pay to get items off your phone through their network. OBEX bypasses that. If OBEX is off on your phone, you will not be able to sync contacts or anthing else for that matter. Just your handsfree mic will work.

Interestingly enough, you can download your phone's contacts, but can't access the list if the car is in motion! I realized this yesterday. When you come to a stop (at a light) the list is accessible.

I understand (though don't agree with) the whole "in motion" litigious B.S., but how come you CAN access the phone contacts you hardcode?

When are one of you super smart tech guys going to figure out how to disable this moronic "safety feature" that limits access if the car is in motion? Come on, I'm counting on you!

i think the answer to your "contacts" problem is to use voice commands to access your contacts list.. just define a voice tag for each one that's important to you.. or all.. whatever. i have yet to find a voice command that can not get most of what i need done while in motion.. the more functions you can control via voice the better as i come from the camp you should be looking at the road... and no where else! all it takes is a split second to kill someone.. consider how much good your "contacts" list is going to do you in jail! I wont let this thread turn into a "motion" topic.. we can take that elsewhere.
