Lost all my contacts with the phone. Can I retrieve my contacts in iDrive without the phone?

Your contacts are still in the car, but there is no user method to retreive them. I regularly back up my contacts to a PC. There are many utilities available to do that. If you have a Motorola phone, their Phone Tools product is a great one. Also, some carriers, like Verizon offer an extra service, like 'Backup Assistant' for the less tech savvy.

Verizon's Back Up Assistant is fantastic. Works great if your phone dies or gets stolen/lost
