OK, another newbie question. Sorry. How do I determine if my cell phone is capable of uploading its contact list/address book to the car? I guess I could enter everything one by one but that would take hours.

does it have bluetooth? If so, you can highlight all your contacts and beam it over as a business card, thats what i did

Yeah, it's got BT but I'm thinking my phone is too old and doesn't have the business card export capability. I can get the car into the mode where it's waiting for data but I can't get the phone to xmit. Oh well, time to take advantage of the new every 2 promotion with Verizon.

I wouldn't bother to upload contacts to the car's phonebook. If you make any changes to your phone's contacts list (either on the phone itself, or on Outlook, Lotus Notes, etc. and then synchronizing with the phone), it requires you to manually make the changes to the car's phonebook memory. The system doesn't read the phone's contacts list each time it pairs up, like the way most cars' Bluetooth systems do.

Strange, but true.

I only do it since I don't like picking up numbers I don't know so I just update the phone as I go along

i wish you could delete all the contacts in the car and refresh it buy uploading your updated contacts from your phone. i dont think you can delete everything or at least i havent been able to as of yet. sucks.

You can delete all contacts by doing a reset, but it also deletes all your music files, GPS memory, even the phone(s) that you've paired with the car's Bluetooth.

No need for a reset, just choose delete all contacts. If your phone automatically ports the numbers over (ie you don't have to do it one by one) then its a simple solution. That option should show up where you download your contacts. If it doesnt, then let me know.

Do your dealerships not have delivery specialists to go over the car's with you?
