I just bought a 2012 cadillac SRX. The Xperia ARC connects to the bluetooth of the car but the contacts don't sync to the nav system in the dashboard. I have the latest software global 2.3.4. It was a Rogers Version originally. Here is a screenshot of the phonebook that doesn't show up as an option on my nav screen.

I was able to connect my blackberry to the car and the phonebook loaded fine. Still not working on the ARC. I message comes up at the top saying Phonebook access request but nothing happens...Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or heard of the message "Phonebook Access Request." Thanks.

I'm looking to have access to the Blackstone phonebook when I connect it in rSAP mode to my Audi MMI.
Because I dont have the very brand new MMI with harddisk navigation and new integrated phone) I can only select numbers from SIM card.
Any comments/suggestions?
I've got an Audi A6 and I use software from jetwaremobile.com to sync my HTC with the MMI.
First try to install the demo version and then look for a config file that lets you SWITCH PHONEBOOKS (between SIM and Outlook).
In my Audi I've got to sync the Outlook Phonebook, Incoming/ Missed/ Outgoing calls and signal strenght.
NOTE: Do not try the AUDI MMI configuration that appears on the web page. It's not necessary and doesn't work.
Mode Handsfree vs. rSAP
thx for your answer.
It sounds to me you are connected in "handsfree mode" - could you check the small sign at the MMI display?
Should show 2 x symbols (1 bluetooth-symbol and 1 signal bar symbol) - right?
I have got the same issue with my VW Passat. It worked fine with Nokia phones, but I also cannot get the phone book over SAP with Win Mob. Tried all version patches etc. But have not been able to find a solution.
The work-around: Copy the needed contacts to your SIM, hide SIM contacts in the phone and let the car sync with the SIM card. It is not the best solution but at least it works.

Teh reason why...
The reason is the use of a proprietary use of a Nokia phone unit in the car of VAG in the past.
All new cars are able to communicate in the right way of bluetooth..
(I tried it successfuly with my HTC Touch HD and a brand new A6 - all worked perfect!)
Did you use the "Handsfree" profile in the Audi, cause I know this works fine? I've tried this with a few rentals.
The problem arises as soon as you want to connect using the Bluetooth SAP profile. In my Passat I have no other option as SAP and I actually like this function, just this phone book issue...
Handsfree
I dont like "Handsfree" because I have to use my inbuilt phoneunit of my Audi - and so I need the SIM access- Biggest advantage is the us of an external antenna with very strong signal.
Nobody else with a hint?

Sorry for the delayed answer.
Yes I've got two symbols, the bluetooth and the signal bar.
I realized that symbols on MMI depends on the implementation of the bluetooth protocol of the phone. For instance, with sony-ericsson I used to have bluetooth, signal bar, SIM entrys (not phone contacs), incoming, outgoing, missed calls, etc.
But with Motorola the only thing I used to get was the bluetooth symbol (no contacts, calls, etc.)
This is exactly what happend when I first connected my HTC, so I searched for a solution. Since I have JetweareMobile I've got the same features than with sony-ericsson, and even more, because I can sync both SIM and PHONE contacts.
It's nicely resolve because when you toggle to PHONE CONTACTS, you get your contact's names in the MMI with a /W, /H and /M for work, home and mobile numbers (you may have several numbers per contact)
If you have the bluetooth car kit and you're having problems, give it a try.
Same result without jetwaremobile.com
ok pitaXDA - thx for your answer.
So I was right - your are using the HTC in "Handsfree" mode - this works fine with the standard Bluetooth Software installed on the HTC - you will not need this extra peace of software.
I don't like the handsfree-mode, because it only uses the Bluetooth connection for the phonebook.
I'm using the rSAP mode - because I want to use the external phone antenna of my A6 and also the phone funtion at the HTC is disabled (like Airplane mode) to save power. The disadvantage for me is the use of phonenumbers stored on SIM only (there is no synch of the "normal" phonbook in that mode)
I know some phones (particularly Sony Ericsson ones) can display received SMS's on other devices via Bluetooth (for example, a TomTom Go 730), so that when a text is received is shows on the sat nav screen. Does the touch pro 2 support this or is there a way to support it?
Also, I would be swapping from a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 because the bluetooth on that phone keeps switching off during calls. Is the TP2 affected in a similar way?
Just tried to pair with Tom Tom Go730, I can not get the Tom Tom to pair with the phone, so it looks like the answer is no,
I just got a new Wildfire S phone and I'm experiencing some issues with my Volvo carkit.
I can pair the devices and answering and making phone calls is working fine. The only thing I can't figure out is why my Phonebook sometimes is synchronizing and sometimes it isn't.
It seems that it works when I repair the devices and I ignore the accept phonebook access message on the phone. Only in this case the connection between the devices gets broken after a couple of minutes. If I accept the connection once, it seems to be working evenry now and then. As soon as I select always to connect to the phonebook (checkbox when I grant phonebook access on the phone), it seems that all contacts are no longer available in my car.
According to Volvo the wildfire S is certified to work, but with all other phones I don't have these issues.
Does anyone have an idea of where I should look for a solution to this problem?
Phone versions:
Android 2.3.5
Software version: 2.26.401.3
Smallbanversion: 47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M
Any advice?
Parrot Mki9100 hands free bluetooth system fitted in car and in good working order.
Have successfully paired new phone (Xperia M) with device.
However, Parrot screen states 'phonebook busy, please wait' continuously.
Have updated Parrot system software without success and factory re-booted this device.
Have tried allowing and denying access to phonebook, headphone etc. on phone but no difference.
Kit is paired with other phones without same problem.
Have emailed Parrot who states that it's a problem with phone.
I can use the phone but unable to use voice recognition system, i have to use manual 'jog' wheel and buttons to navigate through phonebook to get to correct contact.
Also, phone does not automatically connect when i start the car, i have to manually do this via the phone.
Any ideas on any settings or patches i can install on phone?
I am happy that its a problem with this make/model of phone as other are and can be paired easily.
any help much appreciated.

I occasionally fit these exact kits myself in my line of work (mechanic) and I've had no issues with them as I use my phone to test them out. Have you got auto connect setup on phone? Also the memory of the phone book on these kits is not large same with paired phones so it might not be able to get contacts due to lack of internal memory in the kit. Have you done a hard reset of the kit? Next one I get ill test and pm you my results and any tips I find
Sent from my C1905 using xda premium
I have a Parrot ck3000 and it does pair well with my M ss routed. The problem is that in a call (either outgoing or incoming) the communication is not stable: after a few minutes the bluetooth communication drops.
I've also used a number of apps such as MonoBluetooth, BTHeadSet, BTmono etc. without any result. Wifi, HFC and Stamina mode are not the cause. I'm about to give up !!!
I have an Sony Xperia M (C1905) with Root access (locked bootloader) running stock Android 4.1.2
The Sony Xperia M (C1905) supports Bluetooth 4.0 (with added features if we get Android 4.3)
I have a Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG7873S home (landline) phone.
The KX-TG78 Link2Cell home phone has a USB 2.0 cellular charging port which is a nice touch.
The Panasonic KX-TG7873S provides Link2Cell via Bluetooth.
This supports inbound and outbound Cellular calls (Link2Cell), with inbound caller ID read from contacts.
Calls/communications are transferred to and from your cellular phone via Bluetooth.
Another feature is that the DECT KX-TG78 home land phone can pick up the arrival of an inbound txt messages and alert you on your home phone handsets dotted around the house.
The alert is sounded on all home handsets with "Text message!!... Text message!!".
NOW... The Sony Xperia M (C1905) does support Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) and can be paired and will alert you of inbound txt messages.
Problem
HOWEVER... if you stop/disconnect Bluetooth and attempt to reconnect at a later time (arrival home again) it won't successfully re-pair again.
It prompts with a six digit Bluetooth pairing number which can't be accepted by the Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG7873S land phone.
I do note the Panasonic OUI MAC address is in a Bluetooth blacklist(blocked) in /data/mics/bluetooth, /data/mics/bluetoothd
Not sure this is really stopping anything as I removed it and it's still removed after a reboot.
Before I removed it the OUI MAC address block, the Sony Xperia M was still successfully pairing the first time with the home land phone.
If I remove any reference to the Panasonic KX-TG7873S (Seen as DECT KX-TG78 in Bluetooth list by default) with MAC OUI 00-08-F0, I can successfully pair again.
The Panasonic KX-TG78 Link2Cell does use a default 0000 Bluetooth challenge PIN.
This can be changed on Panasonic KX-TG78 land phone, but again this makes no difference, that I'm aware of.
I have a Sony Xperia S (LT26i) running Android 4.1.2 which is paired to the Panasonic KX-TG78 on the second line and it's working just fine.
I can just turn on Bluetooth at any time and once paired, it just reconnects without problems the next time using Panasonic Link2Cell.
The Sony Xperia S doesn't support Message Access Profile (MAP)
The Sony Xperia S does only have Bluetooth 2.1
So it may be that the Sony Xperia M is having issues when reconnecting due to Bluetooth MAP.
As this is a long shot, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I could manually alter the Bluetooth connection on the Sony Xperia M so that it'll connect to the Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG78 without having to manually reconfigure Bluetooth each time.
I've use extended naming in the hope a Google search will invite a wider audience where expertise may come from different practices.
[Update MAR-2014]
Panasonic support did reply and thought it may be something better taken up with Sony.
Fair enough, as I'm running Android 4.1.2 and there is upgrades in the pipeline which may include Android 4.3, so we can look at the problem again after an Android upgrade.
[Update APR-2014]
Upgraded to Android 4.3 on my Sony Xperia C1905 and Bluetooth MAP profile how works.
[ANSWER] Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG78 Bluetooth connection
Solution
I have upgraded the Xperia M (C1905) to Android v4.3 and now have a robust Bluetooth MAP (Message Access Profile) service.
Bluetooth MAP service now works on the Xperia M (C1905) with the Panasonic KX-TG78 land phone.
After pairing with the Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG78 land phone, I'm then prompted to 'authorize' a MAP service.
You will probably still have to edit the Bluetooth /data configuration for Bluetooth to remove the blacklisting of Panasonic MAC OUI 00-08-F0
I did this as I have a phone with root access to the /data/misc folder.
When you re-connect the Bluetooth service after a second time the Bluetooth MAP service connects automatically.
There is a notification on the status bar which can not be removed which indicates the Bluetooth MAP service is active.
The notification states, - Bluetooth Message Access to "DECT KX-TG78"
This never appeared on the old Android 4.1.2 ROM where Bluetooth would pair successfully once, but not the second time unless you reset all Bluetooth /data/Misc configuration. This was unworkable using Android 4.1.2 ROM
In the old Android 4.1.2 you still got an audible txt alert notification on the land phone when Bluetooth was successfully paired on the first connection. However, you couldn't get the Bluetooth connection to re-connect on the second time after Bluetooth had been turned off and on again.
Summary
Using Release 15.4.A.1.9 Android 4.3 on an Xperia M (C1905), all Bluetooth services I have tested on a Panasonic DECT KX-78 home/land phone worked effectively.
