Picked up the car yesterday, love it so far.

Have anyone figured out a workaround to upload vCards from the iPhone. Any apps I can download to do this? Got the phone synced, that part works great.

I had an old RAZR laying around that I got synced - I'm able to upload one contact at a time, but it's going to take forever.

I guess I can buy the adapter for the PCMCIA slot and do it that way, but hopefully "there's an app for that"

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I dont think there is.. i've searched high and low... I just bought the PCMCIA adapter and am waiting on it in the mail.. What do i need to do to get the contacts on there in a format that the address book in the car will pull from?

Yea, I thought about getting one too - I can only find them on eBay from Hong Kong though. Takes forever to get here.

I think you can just add the .vcf files onto the memory card and import them. I saw an option to import from an external device.

I put my iPhone simcard on my wife's blackberry and copied all my contacts to my MB via blackberry. You can copy all contacts at once with blacberry.

I just bought a PCMCIA memory card from amazon.com. Cost about $30 and took about 4 days to get to me...no trouble.

Here is a link with a bunch of them from amazon.com.

My dealer told me the syncing address book is mostly about the phone but not the car. hope it helps

Doesn't look like the iPhone iOS4 software is going to have many changes for the Bluetooth other than the external keyboard.

I got my PCMCIA adapter today. Loaded all of my .vcf onto a SD card and popped it in. The option for "import from external source" still doesn't show up. I also tried to put an .mp3 file on a different card, and it kept giving me a "no supported files" message for that too.

I'm using a MacBook with Snow Leopard to create the SD cards. I tried formatting them as FAT32, but no luck with that either.

I also tried to sync my MacBook directly with the Comand so that I could use a program like Bluetooth vCard Blaster, but it won't sync with my MacBook either.

Running out of options here. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I'm loading the SD card wrong?

I just got my pcmcia adapter the other day and am going to be trying this out tonight.. how do you get the contacts onto your computer in a vcf format? I'm sure i can figure it out, i've just never played with it...

Any Contacts in Outlook are already .vcf format.

Something is wrong with my PCMCIA slot, I have to bring it in for service (only had the car for a week). Looks like something is stuck in there and the card won't go in all the way.

I finally got my MacBook to Sync with the car and sent all of my contacts via vCard Blaster.

ah i see.. i dont use outlook so i'll have to figure something else out

morph860

I dont either, I have a Mac so I use "Address Book" - they save in vCard as well.

Where do you plug the PCMCIA card into? I have the audio 20 system.

I tried messing around with outlook last night and cannot figure out how to sync contacts from my phone to the computer.. wtf ..

blue00r6

can someone seriously give me a tip on how to get contacts to sync into outlook and then converted to a file type i can put on the PCMCIA?
I've literally never used outlook before...

Real simple, I just exported 2000 contacts from my Mac address book as vcard, drag it to my PCMCIA slot card. Put the PCMCIA in my car, hit import in a matter of 2 seconds all my contacts transfer over on my address book in my 2008 MB C350.

If you need help on how to it drop me an email, I'll run you thru it, Good Luck.
