Blue tooth in TS - iphone or manual entry numbers
Greetings,
Apologies if there is already a thread on this, but I have been searching for it...
My iphone won't sync any numbers across to the blue tooth phone book in my new TS. This is the blue tooth without the big pretty display in the middle (in the TL model).
I can't find a way to force the iphone to send an individual phone number over the blue tooth (it only wants to send contact lists), and I have only found the option in the car blue tooth to accept one number at a time.
Does anyone know if there is a manual entry mode for the car blue tooth?
And whilst I'm at it, does anyone know the make and model number for the head unit in MY10 TS (with the 6 stack CD)? Maybe (unlikely, but I can try) there's a software flash that can be done on the head unit to integrate with the iphone.
Thx

Re:
That is correct, Eclipse knows about this problem and the "contacts" transfer from an IPhone is not possible. (at this stage). I had someone post this exact question on our Facebook page as well.

Re: Blue tooth in TS - iphone or manual entry numbers
Hiya EsPeGe,
Glad to hear that you've managed to find a way forward.
Unfortunately it doesn't work in the TS as the head-unit in that keeps the phonebooks separate with different phones.
Great that you've got it working on the Eclipse and it will save a few Ti / TL owners a bit of frustration.
Unfortunately the "bluetooth" system has many protocols and implementations, and the ones on the iphone just don't allow for individual telephone number transfer.
I must admit though, I haven't done a search on the app store for a while. Maybe a new utility has popped up that can export single numbers. I'll have to have a hunt.
Enjoy your tooting along!

Re: Blue tooth in TS - iphone or manual entry numbers
Unfortunately, Bluetooth isn't just Bluetooth.
There are many protocols and manufacturers implement various mixes on their devices.
I don't know which protocols the head unit in the TS utilises, but the iphone doesn't have the capability (that I know of) to send an individual phone number - which is what the head unit requires. Likewise, the head unit cannot receive an en-masse transfer of contacts. It's got a limited quantity of numbers it can store.
If you know an iphone utility that can bluetooth transmit single phone numbers i'd appreciate it.
