Car phonebook syncs 250 contacts only, randomly chosen out of the total 1000. Previous phone (Poco F1) was syncing all contacts without any issue. Is there something I am missing here? Does anyone else have this problem, or any idea how to solve?

Hi
A friend of mine has just got a desire and is having problems syncing contacts to their 3 series. All contacts sync over fine - exept those that have contact pictures. The car does not recognise them.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
Ive had this problem before and also with other phones, the BMW system works perfectly if you have contacts that fill standard fields. Things like pictures, notes etc can stop it from working, problem also occurs in VW and Audi.
The only thing you can do is remove all the extras in your contacts.
Heh
VW, Audi, BMW... All can't handle address books with data in non-standard fields.
My g/f's Ford Fiesta handles my address book without any problems
I've had my phone with me for awhile now, and so far so good and I've been regularly syncing with Gmail.
A couple of days back, when I wanted to send an e-mail from my computer, the list of contact suggestions that would automatically pop out as you type your contact's name wouldn't come out.
I found this strange, so I checked my contact book (from inside gmail on the computer). To my horror, the contact(s) were gone!
I've also noticed weird folders in my gmail, most that begin with "[IMAP]/" followed by drafts, inbox, etc
I checked my android, under the people app, and the contact's phone number, along with their email was still listed in my phone.
I've been searching around, and I understand that some people are having this problem in reverse, whereby contacts are disappearing from their android. Not much help there, I suppose.
So my question is; is this an android sync problem, or is gmail getting iffy?
I've now taken a precaution and have exported a back up of my gmail contacts in csv. ... but.. you can never know when this will happen again.
Pardon me if I sound noob-ish. The android is my first smartphone
Edit: Today it happened again. I seem to be losing contacts everyday. Even now my gmail chat client on the left seems to be missing contacts.
the imap folders etc you can turn off in the gmail settings server side not mobile side
Thank you
Any idea about the missing contacts?
When i first start my car (kia soul) it proceeds to download the phone book from my phone. On my previous phone (touch pro 2) it went much quicker then it goes with the Evo. I assume this is because i have more contacts.
Is there some way i can designate that only certain contacts get transfered? There's really only a handful that i ever call from my car, the rest of them i don't need added to the car's phone book. Could i do something like create a bluetooth group and only contacts in that group get transfered to the car's memory?
No solution to this? It takes several minutes before i can use the incar bluetooth system due to how long it takes for it to copy the phone book.
Well I unchecked exchange in my contacts then it doesn't sync them. After the first sync you can go back and check exchange and it will sync them in the background next time you get in the car.

If you mean under the account & sync settings, i do not have my exchange contacts set to sync. The only thing set to sync under there is email.
Is it possibly downloading EVERY contact that i have in gmail? Under the 'my contacts' section i have 40 contacts. but under all contacts i have well over a thousand.
On my touch pro 2, i think i probably had about 25 contacts in the phone.
Ya see my situation is a little different I have an exchange email for work then gmail for personal. I just go into the people app and unchecked exchange then it will sync faster. Sorry that none of that will apply for you but maybe help someone else. I will say this that it does seem slower syncing than the TP2. That doesn't help either ....

Hmm, so you think the phone itself is for some reason slow syncing then the tp2 and it's not just an issue of possibly having more contacts? If i have time, i'll try deleting my account from the phone and manually adding a few contacts and see how long it takes for it to sync just that handful.
I'm not sure what you mean by going into the people app and unchecking exchange? when i click on people, i don't have an option anywhere to uncheck exchange. Maybe that's because i don't have the exchange contacts set to sync under the account settings.
Using Samsung Focus, really like WP7 and this phone. Have facebook selected to only display information in contacts on people I already have in contacts. Works fine on phone.
Have a Garmin Zumo 550 GPS on my motorcycle, phone is bluetooth connected to GPS which is connected into intercom system on bike. GPS contacts shows all facebook people, not just the people in phone contact list.
I deleted FB from phone, turned on GPS and then only the contacts in my phone showed on GPS. Was really happy all those extra FB people were not in GPS contact list anymore.
Recreated FB account on phone with display only info on people already in contacts option selected, turned on GPS again, and all FB people showed up in GPS contacts. NOT HAPPY.
This is a WP7 problem. How can WP7 be stopped from sending FB people to GPS or other Bluetooth devices? (without the obvious, remove FB account from phone)
Anybody know to stop WP7 from sending all Facebook friends to contact list on a Bluetooth connected GPS?
Phone is set to only display Facebook friends info only on contacts already in phone, and it works on phone contact list but is sending all of my Facebook friends to list on Bluetooth device. Why?
it doesn't appear to be possible to stop it at present. Perhaps post this as an issue in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836373, and maybe bring it up on the social.microsoft.com?
sorry we couldn't be of more help.
Thank you for replying. I'll copy and paste my problem onto the sites you recommended from desktop tonight.
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could help, I have my G3 connected to my 2014 Audi fine, can stream music via Spotify and also make calls using the handsfree however the phonebook is messed up.
As I use my phone for work this is getting to be an issue, I have set the G3 up so I only see contacts from my phone and not external accounts such as Facebook etc. Additionally I have also configured it so it only include contacts with phone numbers.
I have around 100 contacts on the phone however when it sync's with the Audi it picks up 800 from somewhere, these are a combination of e-mail accounts that I have e-mailed in gmail over the years.
Has anyone ever seen this? Prior to this I have a Nexus 5 which synched fine without any issues as expected.
Thanks in advance.
