is there a retrofit to get a Treo to upload phone book?

stinsy · 06-14-2009, 09:51 AM

Got my 335i yesterday and the Treo talks to bluetooth fine, but phonebook won't upload. I know the Treo isn't on the official list, but is there a work around to get the info in without hand entering?

That said, if it doesn't upload, will hand-entering into the internal address book in the car still allow me to use the Dial by Voice feature?

thanks

ps: car rocks!

What model Treo do you have? I have an 800w from Sprint that uploads fine.

Might take a while... my Blackberry did.

750, I think? Had same problem in my Audi but I'd hoped BMW new interface would solve it.

So if time is an issue, just let them "talk" for a period of time?

Has there not been a software workaround figured out by anybody here?

It's a classic, "so close yet so far" situation...

thanks
