Delete ALL previous pairings in the car and try again, that should allow you to pair!

No i can't deal any number, because it keeps disconnecting the phone, and it doesn't load phone book, for androids, it does only for that old nokia and Blackberry.

With my Android phone I receive a text message immediately after pairing hoccurredred, with a box to check approviphone bookook sharing etc. If I were you, I would delete the pairing on the phone and the car and try again, paying close attention to your phone for a text message!

I tryed to delete pairing from the phone and the car. That doesn't change anything. I am not getting any message, it only ask my to enter the code. When i enter the code it does pair for like 5 second and then discconcts. Also if i do a phone call while it is connected sounds go throught cars speaker, then it disconnects and sound dissapear from car speaker, then again it connects and sound goes through car speakers again.

I've have no problem with any of my andriod phones, never had to unpair any from the car just add the new phone and it syncs. I can only suggest clearing all paired phones and try again. one thing none of the other phones are close enough and turned on to try and pair at the same time, may be a conflict.

ive been trying to kinda of scientifically and mathematically figure out the equation causing this to happen with android phones its a widely know issue but none of the info out on it seems to be absolutely the reason why, or the solution its like every case is different.

I have a 2004 530i and have tried 3 different android phones Htc evo 3d (my main phone) running android 2.3.4 software 2.08.651.2, kernal 2.6.35.13g84f8edd, htc evo 4g (my old phone), Samsung Galaxy S2 (my cousins phone)

Pairing - works
Car controls phone(steering wheel button ect) - works
Voice dialing numbers - works
Voice dialing names - doesn't work
Syncing address book with car - doesn't work


here is what I have gathered so far suggestions on what try
- unpair all phones, forget device on phone, reset ccc, reset phone and retry..... My experience = FAIL

- download bluetooth file transfer from marketplace save contacts to sd card when phone pairs to car transfer vsf file (contacts file on sd) to the car and address book should start to sync with car my experience......FAIL

- declutter and re organize contacts list removes fb and all other social media ties use only first names or only last names or both remove all 1's in the beginning of numbers (basically make it 10 digits) my experience ........FAIL( I tried all varients of this fix deleted my entire contact list to just one contact and played around with it but that didn't work for me

-pay attention on your phone as soon as you pair for a messages asking for permission to send contacts to the car supposedly it goes away quick and if you miss it you lost your shot. my experience.........FAIL ( I never got no prompt asking for permission)

-perform a full software update on ccc to bring bt up to date with the tech in the phone??? I have no idea I refuse to pay 300 bucks to do a software update to get bt working and from the research ive done. there is no guarantee contacts will even sync after you spend all that money.

Now Ive read a lot of people have had success getting contacts to sync after rooting there andriod phone and flashing over to cyanogen 7.1 rom I'm trying to understand why people are have success what is different about this custom firmware vs stock firmware. I personally refuse to switch over to custom fw because Ive done it in the past and even though all the nice new features might be great they are always buggy and end up causing your phones ultimate demise in the end. also I read cyanogen for my phone doesn't even support 4g which I use heavy and stereo bt, which I also use a lot. I think the cooks of the cf have changed the kernel I think either the kernel or baseband has something to do with how the wireless radios on the phone work, of those radios I think bluetooth might be one of them so I figure since i don't want to change to a custom firmware on my phone maybe i can just change the kernel and get my contacts to sync with my car. Anyone one the same page as me or knows even more about the andriod phones and how they work please chime in, if we all put our heads together a solution should be found...
