Hi Guys

just got my c63 here,

Everything is perfect in the car, but I'm having troubles trying to Sync my contacts into the car? Need help please!

Or whatever phone works, i might just buy that one, thinking about a Blackberry right now!!

the dealer said i need to save it all on a PCMCIA card (but who still makes them man).

How does everyone listen to music? AUX cable? Im just burning 4gig dvds now.

Cheers

iPhone won't sync contacts. You do have to use the PCMCIA card, but it works like a charm.

Yeah, my Iphone wont sync either. But they did release some C63 Iphone wallpapers that are sweet. Let me know if you want a copy.

Oh and there is also a C63 program for the iPhone.

Here in Australia i was using an old Nokia wich dealer synced in no time at all he day i got the car a few weeks ago. I switched to an iPhone yesterday and had to buy a new bluetooth cradle for it (apparently because the car's builtin bluetooth is not modern enough for iPhone) which sit in storage bin between the front seats. Dealer paired it / synced it for me in seconds and installed all contacts no probs so i can scroll through phone book on car tv display. Works like a dream.

Is that the iPhone integration kit?

Well my i phone doesn't have to be inserted or plugged into anything as the pictures on that website seem to indicate. All i do is insert the little black device they sold me which is a little bigger than a matchbox, into the socket in the storage bin between seats. My iphone can sit in my pocket or wherever and the car recognises the phone is there and it all works automatically.

Wha'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

I know of the MB HFP Bluetooth cradle. And the Viseeo Bluetooth cradle. And the iPhone cradle. Is it one of those?

It is a limitation of the iPhone, not the car. You can sync contacts with any phone that supports that action. Blackberries sync like a champ.

how do u use the pcmcia card?

W204+M156

Actually we have not been able to get my wife's blackberry to pair with the system. And we have tried several times. But my Iphone paired first try.

Ron Scarboro

My experience also. I had to pair the blackberry using the alternate method explained in the book. Once paired though, uploading the contacts was a breeze. That functionality doesn't exist in the iPhone which is a limitation of the phone not the MB.

Store your music onto a Memory Stick, SD Card, or some such, and stick that into this...



and then insert it into the PCMCIA card slot in your centre console.

SebringSilver

Unless you're referring to how you use the PCMCIA card to sync your iPhone contacts, in which case please ignore the above.

i was talking about the i phone; but i can use ur method to download some of my music from my ipod directly into the commands hard drive this way right? forgive me but i am technologically challenged and i am only 40 years old

Why doesn't that come with the car?!

Do you by any chance have a part number for this card?

Thanks

I think Sandisk is the manufacturer of this card. Its available at amazon for 65 bucks

norb

Its available at Frys for $15.

I got the Sandisk PCMCIA adapter for CF cards for $10 and change at Best Buy of all places.

If you you have music that you ripped from a CD into iTunes you can then copy that music from your PC HDD to a PCMCIA card then upload to the MB. If you purchased music through iTunes it is protected and can only be played on "authorized devices". I don't know of any way to "authorize" a MB to play purchased content from iTunes.

I have the moto Q9c (windows mobile) and can sync contacts that only have a phone number but for whatever reason the ones that have more info (e-mail, addy, additional phones, etc) will not upload. I do not have the upgraded media options since I did not order my C63 and grabbed the first one that came in in april...

Any advice?

veedman

Thanks for the help guys,

i think right now, ill prob go get that cradle to sync my i phone contacts, im sick of dialing with the keypad.

That PCMCIA card, i think we can find them on ebay right, i dont think the aussie merc dealers actually sell it.

Damn!!

Ok I got the card in my car. but how do I upload contacts from Iphone on that card? what is the right way to do this? and how then to upload it onto the car?

Got my PCMCIA card with SD adaptor on ebay - around AUS$28 shipped to my address in Adelaide. Definitely able to import my MP3 files and saved them to the HDD on the C63. Next step is to export Outlook contacts onto the SD card then import into the phone book in the C63
