![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I read through user manual and search forums but I can't find is there a way to enter contacts into the phone book manually.
Anyone know is that possible and how?
I know you can import VCards through Bluetooth, but alas that does not work with my iPhone and I want to store just few contacts in phone book anyway...

Most of the time i use the command > Navigate to or Dial for easy access to whom i wanna call or where i want to go. You can also add the name voice tags to the entries. It is an awesome system.

I am also having this problem. I just got a C300 with the basic stereo (i do have satellite, not sure if that changes the features). I don't normally have problems with figuring out the technology, but it doesn't see to have a way to add a phone book contact manually unless you can send using vcard. Iphones don't send vcards.
Any info would be appreciated!!!
My only other idea is to somehow get my computer to transmit via bluetooth - then i can add my outlook contacts.

Here is a couple brief steps:
Sync iPhone with Address Book app on Mac OSX.
Use the bluetooth preferences on OSX to pair your mac laptop up with your MB Bluetooth system.
Open "Bluetooth vCard Blaster".
Select MB Bluetooth in the Choose button in vCard Blaster.
Set the Transfer Chunks to a high number like 500. (If not you will have to keep hit ok after each contact)
uncheck "Allow me to acknowledge each transfer"
In the Radio scroll to the phone list and highlight you Mac Laptop from the list. Navigate over to option and hit accept business card.
once it is searching hit "Go" in Bluetooth vCard Blaster.
Now enjoy having your contacts in your car!!!!
The only issue I saw with this is that I had a lot of numbers show up without names but I think that was because my address book is messy not the MB Radio Bluetooth system. If I find another way of selecting which contacts you can import I will repost.
By the way I am sure there are similar programs on windows that have the same functions as Bluetooth vCard Blaster. The important thing is to make sure that your laptop has bluetooth.

What I did was go through Address Book and for all those Company contacts, paste the company name into the Last Name field. Now they show up in the car with the name and the number.
Hopefully this helps.

sélect Tel and a drop down menu will prompt you if you want the Telephone or Address Book.
Once you select the Address Book, there will be a "NEW" command on the bottom for you to select and add a name.
