Nokia phones.
Transfer or copy all the contacts from the sim card to the phone memory.
Pair the phone with the car.
Switch off car ignition...and wait a couple of minuits.
Switch on ignition. Car and phone will pair...... hopefully!
Go to the phone menu.
With the first entry highlighted...
Select 'Options'.
Select 'Mark'.
That will put a tick next to the entry
Repeat to mark a block of names for example A-F
Starting from entries from say A through to F
Select 'Send as business card'.
At this point the phone will more than likely say 'data transfer fail' or something similar!
After a short wait you should see the entries start to appear in the idrive monitor.
They will probably all appear and then disappear again.
Switch off ignition....and wait again!!
Switch on and the phone will pair and the list of transferred names will appear!
Repeat the process for the next block say G through to L
Repeat again for each block of letters.
Finally turn off ...wait....!
Turn on again and all should be good.
I don't know why but that was the only way I could get all the names to transfer. It certainly didn't want to do the whole address book in one go!

Just bought Nokia 5800XM. I'm experiencing the same issues with the car dropping the connection regularly, but most frustrating is the phone book. Previous phone was a Nokia 6230i which worked perfectly downloading the address book. I have followed the tips here, but when i get to "Send as Business card" it offers me options of "e-Mail, bluetooth etc. I select bluetooth but it then says the phone cannot connect. Its odd because the phone is connected at the time.
Does anyone have any suggestions please. My car is an 05MY E61 with media pack built in. Thanks in advance.
