I updated phone this weekend to the new Galaxy S4. It connects via bluetooth (no issue) however from the iDrive (Communication) it does not list the contacts from the phone. Everything worked well with my older Galaxy S. I searched on the web and found some fixes pertaining to the Galaxy S3 and BMW pairing, nothing on the S4.
Anyone on the forum using the Galaxy S4 with the E60/E61? Thanks.

Mine works now, I would start fresh. Delete the bluetooth pairing and start over. When you are paired and get the pop up on your S4 asking to sync don't do anything, just leave the msg on the phone and give it time. Your contacts will eventually come up on the iDrive. Some patience andall will work.

I know it is frustrating, I fiddled around with it for some time. All I can say is to try again. I always turn on the bluetooth on the phone before entering & starting the car.
