Iphone contact transfare help please

Hello, I am having issues getting my iphone contacts on to my 204's command unit. I have a C250 cgi sport. I have connected my phone to the car fine but cant get the contacts to transfer, on my old 204 i used the SLR Bluetooth cradle and fitted my sim in then saved to the hard drive. But this car doesn’t have the convenience function and no UHI to fit the cradle in.

I have read another thread and people put there sim in another phone like a nokia then transfer them via Vcards but my contacts are saved on the phone not the sim (as all iphones ?).

Any ideas. Much appreciated B

I just got mine figured out finally and I went the PCMCIA slot route.

set up your Itunes to sync contacts with outlook, go into outlook and convert the contacts to vcards, then copy them over to an SD card (don't put into a subfolder) then plug it in and you will then be able to import from an external source.. or whatever that option is..

its as simple as that! haha

awesome thanks for the tip, ive ordered a PCMICA compact flash memory card from my local PC store which i get in the next few days.

The contacts in outlook are saved in Vcard so all you should need to do is sync your iphone with outlook then copy paste (or click and drag) the outlook contacts to a memory card, put in a PCMICA reader then use the import external data function as blue006r says.

Thanks B
