I'm sure someone has already got this figured out but I searched and saw no instructions for our cars, just giving back to the community....

1. Downloaded "Bluetooth file transfer" app from market . (It's Free)
2. Exported contacts to SD card ( in menu options within contacts)
3. Open Bluetooth File Transfer (it'll look like your file explorer so don't be confused) Navigate to where you exported the .VCF touch and hold the contacts (.vcf) and select "send via bluetooth.

It'll ask you to select a device, if you select (MB PhoneSystem) it will fail, instead select UHI-S**.

I borrowed the instructions from the android forum but had to figure out the MB PS VS UHI device.

Took no more than 3 or 4 minutes to sync 200 contacts that I have.

How do u sync contacs from an iPhone ?

dannieboiz

I don't have an iphone so I couldn't tell ya. Send me an iphone and I'll figure it out for you.

Jokes aside, I believe the sync is similar, just remember to select UHI Device and not MB phone.

I'm not sure what file type the iphone stores contacts in, if it isn't .vcf, I would first export it out onto the phone itself and Navigate to where you exported the .VCF and most likely do a "Send Via" or whatever lingo able may call it and do bluetooth.

make sure your pair the UHI device with your phone first

I can pair it to my car. But don't know how to sync my contacts? Sucks is that when ppl call in. I don't know who it is, because I don't remember all the #'s.

Phat thats weird.. I have a iphone also and all I did was pair it to the car and all my contacts popped up. Even the dialed ad received.

phatisfy

I dont know why mine don't do that. its weird cause some would show,and some don't?

dannieboiz

I just thought of something, are you scanning your bluetooth using the command or are you using your phone?

When you scan with the MB command, you'll only find your phone. When you put your command in discovery mode and scan with your phone you'll find the UHI device.

I did find the 'UHI'. But my contacts are not syncing? My phone has an option that if I want to sync my contacts. And that is also set to 'on'. But I don't see anything? Weird

dannieboiz

what version iphone do you have? I'll see if I can test it for you.

I'm using an iPhone 4. Btw it shows some of my recent calls. That's about it?

I have the 3gs and never hadda problem.. Im gonna delete it from the car and pare it up again.. I'll let you know if I hadda do anything in order to get the contacts

phatisfy

Kool. Thanks! Btw how do u delete it? Because I had my other iPhone synced to the car. And I can't figure out how to delete that device off?

C-DiZzY

If I remember correctly there should be a option in the bluetooth menu to delete current device. But don't quote me on it

Just wanted to add that this worked almost perfectly - Thanks!
The only thing was BTF didn't give me an UHI option to select so I had to choose MB PhoneSystem & it worked on my HTC EVO4G.

Worked smooth as butter.

Funny thing was, I was trying to add contacts from my wife's iPhone4S & read here & everywhere that there was no way to do it via bluetooth.

So since her contacts are all sync via GMail & on her prior EVO, this was just an extra step to move it from the EVO to the COMAND.
