Phone book questions
#16
Just wanted to update for transferring from a Treo 650.
1. In your contacts, select the "All" category.
2. Hit the "Send Category" option.
All of your contacts will be send almost instantaneously. Only problem is contacts with multiple numbers will have a seperate enty in the G's phonebook.

bluetooth BS with PB
bottom line is that all phones with bluetooth can transfer any individual contact to the car - some phones can do the whole phone book while others like the treo 650 or 700 can only beam one at a time and yes you do use inferred port and wait for the BT to init... then send - so lame why cant i just send all then delete and orginze as i wish...errrrr but i love my car so eff it ,, just dial you phone and put it on the seat

Cell Phone Address Book Download
For anyone who's still having trouble getting their cell phone address book to download, below is what worked for me. I have a 2008 G35x with navigation and I use a Sony Ericsson W810i.
Once your cell phone is connected to the car...
1) Push Setting
2) Click Phone
3) Click Download Phonebook
4) Click Download All
5) Click Yes
6) Now your cell phone will disconnect
7) Go to your address book on your cell phone (note: instructions 7 to 14 may vary by type of cell phone)
8) Go to Options
9) Go to Advanced
10) Send all contacts
11) via Bluetooth
12) *****Ok, this was the important part on my phone***** Your cell phone should start searching for a connection. My phone showed an hourglass at the top. I had to wait for the hourglass to disappear before doing anything else. Originally, I was clicking on "My-Car" before the hourglass disappeared and that would screw everything up. So, be patient at this stage and let the phone tell you that "Devices Found".
13) After the Devices Found message, click "My-Car"
14) Your cell phone should say "Connecting" and then "Sending"
15) The car's screen should now show "Downloading" with a bar that fills up to show the status of the download. This part may take a minute depending on the number of contacts.
16) When finished, the screen should show "Completed"
To use the Downloaded Phonebook...
1) Press Phone, click Call (Downloaded), then pick a letter (A-C, D-F, etc.) where the entry is stored, and then select the person you want to call
or
2) Press Setting, Phone, Phonebook, None(Add New), Copy from Downloaded Phonebook, pick a letter (A-C, D-F, etc.) where the entry is stored, and then select the person you want to add to your car's phonebook (which can store 40 numbers)

1. You mentioned 278 numbers, but I'm assuming you meant 278 contacts with some contacts having more than 1 phone number, yes? Does the Bluetooth transfer process tell the G35 what type is each phone number (i.e. work, home, cell, etc.)?
2. I read in the manual that the standard 40-contact phonebook is phone specific. So there is a 40-contact phonebook for me, and another separate 40-contact phonebook for my wife's phone. In the case where you download the whole phonebook, are these whole phonebooks also separate based on cell phone? Or will my wife have access to the same whole phonebook?
3. In the process of transferring, were you able to select specifically what information is transferred over when you beam all your contacts? For example, can you selectively only beam name, work number, home number, and cell number?
Thanks for any info you can provide!
