I noticed after the phonebook was transferred to CCC, I looked at the list, and not all the names got transferred... how to I get it to transfer complete phonebook... also the characters are
are only up to around 8-10 letters... thanks again guys...

 

What kind of a phone do you have and how did you load the data onto it to begin with?

 

I use a Motorola V551, and i didn't do anything... it just transferred someone to my car even with engine off... I just left the phone there in the car while I was working... so probably within 3-4 hours, I noticed my phonebook was partially in there

 

The Synchronization profile on the BMW is quite passive. It is also slow. When you change a number in your phonebook, it can take hours to show up on the I-Drive. The initial load can take from minutes to hours. I really don't know what triggers it.

This is quite different than an OBEX transfer like on a Lexus. The user is prompted to send the contacts from the phone during what is basically a manual process. If the contacts on the phone change, the car has the old data until the user initiates the next data transfer session.

 

but some of my phonebook contacts were omitted during the transfer... anyone know why? I think there is only 60% of my contacts in my idrive compared to my cell phone memory... what should I do? thanks!!

 

Delete the phone from the I-Drive and then try re-pairing it again. If the problem persists then download Motorola Phone Tools, transfer to a PC and take a look at the format of the phone numbers. Look for a difference in the formatting between the contacts that did transfer, vs. those which did not.

I think you will see some extra spaces or punctuation, or the car is not taking in the data because of some other formatting problem.
