Hi there



I am a new owner of a CPO 2007 R320. It has the P2 and pre-wiring for hands free. I bought a B67875878 BT puck. The pairing of the phones (Iphone 1g and 3gs) were seamless.

However the contacts will not download. When I get a phone call from someone on my contacts list the screen simply shows the phone number.

Can the 07 Comand system and Iphone be set to download the contacts or is it a lost cause?

thank you for your time.

It should work unless it was one of the 1st software versions out. Where did you buy the puck?

Are you sure? I have seen a lot of posts about the iPhone phone book download issues (so not about the puck but the phone).

Mine downloads perfectly from my 3G

Of course I have

I don't have either one, perhaps the problems were with those models that have BT HF integrated to the head unit and would not concern the OP.

JonMBZ

I have paired many iphones and they have all downloaded the phone book, the only thing I could think of if he got the puck from ebay with an early software version that did not support it. This is the only time I have had downloaded trouble. If the dealer has the tool the software can be updated though.

thank you so much for the information so far, much appreciated. I realized that I have 5839 and NOT 5878, so there lies my issues.

Now do you think the 5839 firmware can be updated through a competent dealer?

You may be correct that the 5839 puck is the problem. However, please also be sure that you have the latest versions of the iPhone OS for each one. There were problems with the initial versions of software for both phones - both corrected very quickly by Apple.

With the 5878 puck (which does have the latest MB Bluetooth firmware) and updated iPhone OS, you should get good downloads.

I could not add this to my previous post but the issues with iPod phone book seem to be related to the NTG4 type of implementation with integrated HF in the head unit, not the HF approach of this R-class.

Yes/No from what I heard the tool is expensive and it's rarely used tool and I would guess 95% of MB techs don't know of it's existence ( I could be wrong ) you will probably have to address the request with a shop foreman.

Interesting I never heard of this issue, but I don't deal with the integrated systems I only work with cars that didn't have a phone kit. Thanks for the info.

What version of the iPhone software are you running? I am pretty sure my 1st iPhone synced with my 02 E55 but my new iPhone never has with any of my cars. So version 2 software was a maybe and version 3 so far is a NO

Skylaw

The current iPhone firmware, as of this posting, is 3.1. AWS lists the iPhone as compatible with the current MHI Bluetooth puck (5878). You should be able to synch, if you are running that firmware. It does not list it as compatible with the V60 puck, though several contributors reported good results with the V60 puck and the first iPhones.

dakar I have the same 5839 you have an I got an iphone last night. I was able to pair and download fine after the software update for the module from the dealer.

how much is the puck? i have a blackberry - is that better than those visor/after market ones?

Could you elaborate on the firmware update of the puck? Or are you talking about something else?

Lots of owners of the 5839 pucks would love to be able to have their firmware updated, but I understand that while it is possible, facilities that can do it are rare.

There is a bulletin from 09/2009 talking about a new service tool for phone cradle adapters and BT adapters (it does some other tasks too).

I assume JonMBZ is talking about this tool but I would be happy to have this clarified.

The tool part number is W203 589 07 63 00 and it connects via USB to the SDS computer.

Cool, I actually called them and they gave me a pretty good rate on the phones, I wanted to sell.
