I did this by completing the pairing between car and phone as normal. Dial from my phone or manually enter the phone number via the touchscreen. If there are car brands that tend to have more problems with BT pairing.

Hi All, Just purchased a Galaxy S3 and found the same problem with syncing contacts to my BMW E90 idrive. Connecting via bluetooth was fine but no names and numbers on screen. I found that you firstly need to make sure that the car can access the phone book. I did this by completing the pairing between car and phone as normal.
Once this is done turn off the Bluetooth on the phone in the drop down menu from the home screen. The car then disconnects, then turn it back on and you'll get a pop up saying connecting.
Once it connects then another popup asks for permission to access the phone. Check the box and hit yes. Now, to get the contact on the idrive you need to edit each individual contact and assign it to the group 'My Contacts'. (it may work with other groups i haven't tried) All my contacts were 'Not assigned' to a group so therefor not synced to the car. Once this is done, turn off the Bluetooth like above and turn on again and the car connects and you should see your contacts appear. I hope this works for you.
I purchased a 2012 Hyundai Sonata Limited May 2012. The dealer connected, paired & loaded contacts to the car's bluetooth system after much time and difficulty.
About a month later, I got in my car & didn't realize my cell phone was at home. I attempted to use bluetooth to make a phone call. Immediately, everything was de-programmed, disabling bluetooth. After 7 attempts total, at the car dealership, over the phone with Hyundai, over the phone with HTC and AT&T, I could connect the cell to the car's bluetooth, but the system WILL NOT PAIR or download contacts. Countless hours have been put into solving this issue.
The dealership & AT&T say it's a problem with the phone (which I suspect). However, HTC feels it's a problem with the car. How could it install (with difficulty) properly once, but then never again? What do you advise?
It's truly been a shame to be unable to access such a wonderful feature. Hoping for more, April.
My husband recently bought a Grand Cherokee and was having problems transferring his contacts. After several attempts, it became clear that the error was in his phone book entries. Some he had put a 1+ in front of the area code, others he had put around the area code, others he had not entered a first and last name for a company (the transfer did not read company names), some he had failed to enter an area code. After the errors had been corrected, we deleted the phonebook from the car, unpaired the phone and started all over again. It took a couple of tries before we got his phonebook (on his cell phone) straightened out, but once we got the original corrected, and went through the deletion, unpairing, re-pairing, uploading processes, it finally worked. I don't know if this helps you, but you may want to check your entries so they are consistent with how your cell phone expects entries to occur.
I just recently purchase a 2014 Toyota Camry SE not realizing that my model did not have the voice activated bluetooth controls to make phone calls and such. I was having issues with transferring my contacts to the vehicle to make calls. The only way this was working for me was to either dial from my phone or manually enter the phone number via the touchscreen. I was then able to save the contact as one of the speed dials, but not able to edit to provide a name. After doing some lengthy searching online I found several forums such as this where people were experiencing similar problems with a wide variety of make and models of vehicles. I did just today discover probably the easiest fix (especially for those of us with the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, as I have): 1. Go to the Google Play Store 2.
Click the Search icon 3. Type in 'Bluetooth Phonebook' in the search field 4. The first two options are the applications that worked for me 5.
Download the trial version to ensure that this allows your vehicle to transfer your contacts over I went to the bluetooth screen of my car and selected the options for my Contacts and they were already beginning to transfer (very fast process, less than a minute). From what it sounds like from the various forums that I have read is that for some reason this phone does not enable PBAP or IrMC that some vehicles require to transfer the contacts. This application enables both of those bluetooth file transfer options. I ended up paying the $1.95 for the full application, but that was money well worth avoiding the headache any longer. I hope this helps for all of you! After finally converting to Android I now have an issue which this thread nearly answers. I have a Galaxy S4 which is amazing.
I have just picked up my new car with built in Bluetooth. It keeps asking me to send my contact via Bluetooth from the phone to the car. I cant seem to find the correct way to do this. Any help gratefully received!Welcome to Android Central!
When the car asks you to send the phonebook to the car, check the phone itself-is there a notification asking you if it's ok to communicate with the car? I am beginning to believe it is an Android issue that we cannot connect our wireless phone books. I bought a Kia Optima, my auto salesman connected my Motorola Droid Bionic successfully. Then an update came along to the phone (Verizon, by the way), and I lost the communication to the phone book.
Never worked since. I have just upgraded to a Samsung S4, nothing, same error, cannot find phone book. I tried my Daughters LG Octane and it worked flawlessly. I think its time to get out of the Smart Phone race and revert back to the simple phones. I purchased a 2014 Elantra a few weeks ago, and I was able to pair and connect my Motorola Bravo Smart phone to my car but could not download the contacts.
Every time I would get in the car with my phone, the contacts would start downloading for a few minutes and then it would say that the download failed. One day I opened my phone to the contacts' list and watched the screen as the car was downloading the contacts. I noticed a very tiny sentence at the very top of the screen that popped up for a few seconds and disappeared.
It said that Elantra needs your permission to download contacts. It kept popping up every now and then and disappearing. I finally was able to catch it and click on it and okayed the download of my contacts and history. Now my phone works fine. I hope this helps.
