Default Galaxy Note 5 BT Thread

Rather than bury this in the Note 4 thread, I thought I'd start a new thread. Maybe a thread per different phone might be a good way to go(?)

Note 5, Android 6.0.1

Pairs w/ BT fine, but will not download phonebook. So cannot call out via iDrive.

Maintains a solid BT connection and will receive calls, but the phonebook just ain't happening.

When you say "call out via iDrive", do you mean with voice commands? I read somewhere that on pre-LCI cars, you don't have that capability unless you have nav. I could be wrong on that.

Nope, I mean that when I navigate to the phone book the screen says, "Please Wait" forever. Only way to dial out is to key in numbers.

Will voice commands work for numbers already in your phone book?

I can only guess that the car's software needs an update for any hope of fixing this. I haven't really found a definitive answer yet though.

I guess that would have to be done at the dealer?
