Phone Book & Contact List Not Loading Properly

2011 BMW 535i iDrive

I enter my contacts list thru the USB Hub import and the car automatically does it via Bluetooth from my phone.

EITHER WAY, the street names and numbers do not appear. (All other info including email addresses appear normally)

My Contacts are from Microsoft Outlook and uploaded to My Profile via the BMW Profiles Site. The Phone Book is from my Blackberry Bold.

Any ideas?

Contacts work via Bluetooth on my iPhone just fine. I get numbers and addresses.

UPDATE: If you load My Contacts from your computer (Microsoft Outlook/Excel) via USB and DELETE the zip codes in the process, the street names and addresses WILL appear correctly.

There are instructions in the manual, but basically, you export outlooks contacts (windows comma sep) to a flash drive and plug the flash drive into glove compartment slot, then import via iDrive.

ANSWER

The iPhone will load properly because it includes the ZIP CODE in a different way. The ZIP CODE is what seems to mess up the outlook upload. It seems to be a software glitch.

Outlook csv, iPhone4, iDrive

Hi Guys,

I'm going to pick up my 535i Touring (F11) tomorrow.

One of the first things I want to do is to copy my outlook contacts and MP3 music files onto the Hard Disk of the Car.

Does anyone of you have reccommendations how to do this?
I have heard of "several problems"

Regards,
flycdr

Re: the phonebook on BBB

Check your permission settings for the Phonebook in your BBB, set that to none. Even if it is already set to None, change the settings and set to None again.

I had the same issue and now works fine on both of my BB Curve and Torch.
