I've connected the phone ( basic Nokia) and it works but the contacts are not transferred to the idrive or to the car. Any idea how to do this????

In my experience just about every brand name phone I've had has worked; I've had BT in each of my BMWs since 2001 and the phone book transfer has worked 99% of the time. BMW does list phones that are "compatible" with BT in our cars. http://www.bmwusa.co...iblePhones.aspx

Back in the day I used a "basic phone" any issues with the phone number transfer was a phone firmware thing - be certain that your device has the appropriate firmware update applied.

Depending on your carrier that may be a stop at one of their stores or an OTA (over the air) push. I suggest you contact their customer-service hotline and ask.
