I have a SPV M3100 and a Parrot CK3100. It has been working both together without problem, but since I make a hard-reset (for cleaning the DPA from a lot of spare programas and files) every time I start the car, the Parrot connect with the PDA, synchronize contacts and then disconnect. I see my PDA and bluetooth has been disconnected, I suppose that Parrot has disconnected it.
Does anybody know what happen and how to solve this problem?
Hi montarelonf
I have the same setup as you and though I've had problems on and off, its always been related to my phone
In your case however, I would do one of 3 things
1. Delete the pairing from your phone and re-pair it
2. If that does not work, then reset the parrot and delete the pairing from your phone
To reset the parrot, hold down the red and green button together when the engine is on. You will hear "memory erasing" followed by a silence and then finally "please pair device"
Re-pair it, the password is 1234 and see how it goes.
3. If even that does not work, then you might want to see if another phone has the same problem. If not, then you're looking at phone problems where I would maybe reset it completely (hard/factory reset)
If it does have an issue, then its your parrot firmware. what firmware do you have?
Mines 5.10c from what I remember.
Hope this helps!
As said delete all pairings.. does the 3100 have an option to pair with a phone and not syncronise I have the 3400 which has a phone type of Disbable syncro what you then have to do is manually transfer the phone book. The contacts then appear as 1 and not tony/m tony/h tony/w etc.

Yes, on the 3100 pair is as a "SonyEricsson NoSync"
Parrot has a contact sync application on their website, all it does is takes all your Outlook contacts and makes a single VCF file out of them, pop that on your phone and "beam" it to the carkit.
The syncing option on the 3100 (and 3300GPS) is useless and in combination with the phone often hangs, manual sync is the way to go.
Manual Sync is also the only way to sync and be able to use the categories, otherwise the Hermes just sends them all and puts them all individually. Sending the VCF puts the contacts with the correct categories.

Hi there,
I upgraded my Blue Angel (Qtek 9090) to WM2005 a couple of months ago through the updates provided by this forum. It all worked out perfectly. I don't use the phone option because I have a separate cellphone which is smaller and I can carry it with me all the time. I only use the PDA at work.
Because my phone battery was running very low a few days ago, I decided to put the phone card into my PDA. Normally, every time I (re)booted, WM2005 would ask for my PIN-number and I could just press 'cancel' because I didn't have a GSM-card in the PDA.
It didn't work. "No service" was the only thing I could see but I never got to fill in my phone PIN-number, if I press the phone button or use the link in programs, nothing comes up.
I took the card out again and figured it was probably a glitch in WM2005, but not much later I discovered my calendar and contacts data are corrupted. When I start up the calendar, it says "An unexpected error has occurred in this program." and it disappears again after I press Ok.
The contacts program won't show itself at all.
In the 'today' screen, there are no references to things that are going to show in the calendar today.
Rebooting and trying the phone card again (I tried retracing my steps) did not help. Activesync 4.1 doesn't work because it cannot retrieve the data from the PDA so I cannot re-sync it from the PC.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I think I'm in deep doodoo here! :?:
Not sure how many of us here drive an Audi, but figured I'd give this forum a shot. I posted this question in the car forums, but apparently no one uses Android over there, let alone an Evo. I'm not quite sure if this is a phone specific problem or an Android problem.
So Audi's 3G Multimedia Interface (MMI), uses bluetooth to connect/sync my phone contacts from my phone and displays them on my car's Nav screen. From there I can select names, make calls, etc.
The problem is, I believe that the car is pulling "All Contacts" instead of just "My contacts" from Google. This makes it extremely cumbersome as I have an extra 100 contacts to sift through while I'm driving.
However, my phone itself is setup correctly, as I selected "Only contacts with phone numbers".
I realize Audi's management of phone sync may be different from other car makers, but it may also be the similar. Any ideas?
I'm not sure that there's anything you can do. Mine syncs the entire phonebook also (Audi A4). Sorry to break the bad news.
Yea, that's a bit disheartening. Thanks for the reply though, good to know. Who could we contact to try and get this changed? HTC? Google?

I am working on the same issue - temp solution - download just the contacts you want into a vcard format, then put them on an SD card and sync. It is much cleaner, but only allows 100 contacts. It worked better for me with addresses also for the nav.
I work for a competing automaker as a dealership technician. We run into this problem and many others with our wireless to vehicle integration system. The best workaround for your particular problem would be to swap your contact lists. Backup all of your contacts to Google. Then delete all of the contacts you don't want sent to the car. Then redownload your phone book to the car. Next, restore your contact list from Google. And finally, reupload only the contacts you want Google to store to the Google cloud.
I know its a lot of steps, but it should provide you with the solution you require. One other thing to keep in mind, if you have an automated phonebook download option in your vehicles interface, it should be deactivated. If it isn't, there's the distinct possibility that the next automatic update will pull all the contacts you just eliminated.
Same issue, using SD instead
I don't know if you found a solution. I am facing the exact same issue on Audi MMI with Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I have been searching up and down and found no clean solution. I am using the SD import workaround. I re-paired my phone and denied the phonebook access so MMI can't download from my phone.

I've got a 2012 S4 and just bought the Galaxy S4 (my first android phone, switched from iphone5) and i had the exact same problem. i spent the first two days of ownership of the GS4 googling my heart out trying to figure out WTF.
I have found a permanent solution that works for me but, may not work for you all. reason i say that is, if you rely on google or other accounts to manage your contacts, this will not work for you. the problem is gmail/google, by default any and all emails you send/receive are stored as "contacts" in google. regardless of what settings you have on your phone, when you sync your contacts with audi MMI, it pulls all contacts from both phone and google (possibly other email accounts you have syncing to your phone).
what i did was...
1) go into my google accounts (i have two) and went into the settings and told google that i would "manually add" contacts.
2) i then deleted all contacts from all my google accounts.
3) then i turned contact sync "on" on the phone and synced the phone with google.
4) turned contact sync back off.
the following is within the audi MMI... (the audi MMI does NOT store the contacts synced with your phone, it refreshes the contact list every time it connects to the phone, this is why you cannot access the list immediately after ignition is on).
1) unpaired the phone from MMI.
2) deleted all profiles within the NAME/DIRECTORY menu in MMI (if you get to a point where it asks you for your ID PIN (something along those lines), you will need to enter the last 7 digits of your VIN number.
3) i then repaired the phone, and when the prompt on the phone popped up asking for permission to access contacts, clicked yes and selected to not be prompted again.
after it redownloaded the directory from the phone, only contacts i add to the phone showed up.
WARNING, by deleting the profiles, you will also delete any manually added addresses/locations stored from the MMI as well, i personally can live with this.
Android BT Fix for Audi
Hey there...
New to this forum. Here is a fix for the Phonebook sync for Audi MMI / Android phones. It's an app called Bluetooth Phonebook from the Play store. Download it to your phone and voila...it works.
Hope this helps.

Quick question, do you gate The contact picture to show on The mmi with tour galaxy?
I have only had this phone for ~1 week now, but just ran into an issue with bluetooth connectivity. I have paired my phone with my 2011 Jetta SE and have a successful connection. I can play music and receive calls just fine as well as make calls (but only by initiating it from the phone itself). I was able to voice dial once, but then never again. I have removed and re-paired the phone to the car multiple times. When I ask the voice dialer to read my contact list, it only comes back with a single contact called "My Name." And not my name, literally "My Name." It is my phone number attached to that contact as well, but doesn't exist on my phone, unless it is referring to "Me," the contact the phone book asked me to set up when I first used the phone. But besides that contact, I can't voice dial anyone, which makes things very difficult. I have't found any other cases where bluetooth only pulls this one contact. When I pair the devices, I do get the pop-up that the device I am connecting to wants access to my contacts, and I grant it. Any ideas?
Info:
Verizon Galaxy Nexus
4.0.4 Stock
Rooted
Bootloader Still Locked
No CWM installed
I get this a lot to. I have a 2009 BMW X5 and have no trouble pairing the GNex to the vehicle, and grant the addressbook query. Everything works (I can see all my contacts and use them). Next time I get in the vehicle I may, or may not have contacts. The only way to fix is to delete the device and re pair. For some reason, the addressbook does not stick permanently. It's annoying. Running stock 4.04 with Franco's M3 kernel, but the same problem was there before I changed the kernel. Any suggestions?
Next Step?
Now I'm realizing that I can't really get rid of the connection profile for my car. Is there a specific system app I can clear data from to reset bluetooth? That is all I can think of trying at this point.
Had the P6 a week now and loving it so far, but got a few separate queries regarding bluetooth and email.
Phone is running on the official B111 version.
I link my P6 to my cars Bluetooth. Connects fine, but then asks if you want to allow the car system to be able to access the phones contacts. It gives you a tick box to never ask again, and then ok or cancel option. Tick never ask again and click ok and you can access the phones contacts through the car system. All good, but next time I go into the car the phone links fine, but no access to contacts. You need to unlink the phone and link again. If I then click ok (but don't tick the box) to allow access to contacts it then prompts on the phone every time it picks up the cars bluetooth. Checked in the bluetooth settings but nothing in there seems to make any difference. I've managed to download a third party app to bypass this, and it works well, but totally kills the battery. Think this will be fixed in another release?
Ok, onto email, basically syncing with my works exchange account. Can get it all setup fine, and works a treat, but when it comes to sync schedule the options are on or off, there's no option for 'quiet time'. I have it set to push, but would like to then turn it to manual evenings and weekend. Am I missing something, even my first htc android phone all those years back managed to do this! Again, got a third party app that resolves this, but it's a pretty basic function you'd expect to work!
Cheers in advance for any help or advice.
It's not happening and I am frustrated.
I just got this system installed two days ago. My Bluetooth connects and I can play music and answer or make calls, but my contacts and phone history will not sync over to the receiver.
I click yes on the dialog box when it asks to transfer the information, but it never transfers. I called Pioneer once but the rep was not much help. He suggested I delete the phone from the receiver and start over again. I did that. I called the installer and he suggested I do that as well as turn Bluetooth on and off. I did that.
I am going to go see the installer Monday if I can't get it figured out. It appears I am doing everything I should be doing but it seems the phone is blocking the transfer. I even tried selecting all my contacts and sharing them with Bluetooth and then the receiver but the send file fails.
Any suggestions as to what might be blocking this sync?
Hey I have the same deck as you and what you are trying to do is not possible for the time I spend with it and if you did manage to sync them what are the benefits? Look at your contact list when you leave your phone behind but can't do anything with said contacts because you don't have a phone? Doesn't make much sense right.
That dialog box that comes up when you first pair with the deck is asking you permission to access the phone contacts and not download/sync them.
When your phone is connected you can push the phone button and will let your scroll through your contact list and press the button again to call. Well that's all I remember what to do when I used the phone part of this deck, which is not a lot.
Hope this cleared some things up.
Also if I'm completely off base and you are having trouble with the contacts not displaying or showing when someone calls, then you got a bad unit.

Thank you Gilbert for the reply.
When I push any of the phone menu buttons, I don't get any information. It just says "transferring."
I decided to call Samsung yesterday and twice got on remote access, but both times I hit the wrong button on my stereo and the calls were lost. When I called the third time I started speaking with someone who was going to get me back to the remote access department and he asked me how many contacts I was trying to sync over. I told him about 1,800. He said, "Whoa, I can tell you from experience that generally car stereo receivers only sync up to 900 contacts."
So, I worked all night last night on my contacts. They were a mess and even if this doesn't work the guy did me a huge favor because I was able to shave my contact list down to 564 and unlinked them all from old Verizon backup assistant and Microsoft Exchange contacts. It was an ugly job that truly needed to be done.
Anyway, I have not tried to allow access yet. I am going to try in a little while and then I will report back in.
Well, it's been ugly, but things are working out .... weirdly!
After cleaning up my stock contact app, the contacts finally became visible but they are still being linked in with Microsoft Outlook contacts. I have tried every which way for them not to show up. I even deleted everyone of them from my computer and they are still showing up when I Bluetooth the stereo.
Well at least you got it working for you and seemed like you overwhelmed the unit with all those contacts.
But I find that strange that you can't get those contacts from showing up. So you deleted those outlook contacts from your computer but did you on the phone? Also have you disabled contact sync of the outlook account in the settings?
Also you could try to unpair your phone and pair again and see if that helps.
