Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

36 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Has anyone been able to transfer contacts from Iphone 4 to the CDR-30 ? I wasnt able to do it with the older Iphones . I just got an Iphone 4 and was hoping to be able to transfer. But, no luck

POST 2Original post

Unfortunately, you cannot transfer contacts directly from the iPhone . There is one method that involves using a laptop with Bluetooth. I was able to get the CR30 to recognize my Macbook over Bluetooth. I then used vCard Splitter to separate my contacts into individual files and then transmitted them to the CDR30 via Bluetooth from my laptop.

POST 3Original post

Steve - can you post a little more info on that? I have never heard of anyone doing this!

POST 4Original post

Steve I concur can you write this up into an Article and post it to our Articles section ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk which means I'm probably traveling at the moment so please excuse any brief or hurried replies, spelling errors, etc. Etc.

POST 5Original post

Yes I will write something up and provide some screen captures on how to do this. I should have some time to do this over the next week.

POST 6Original post

Please do! Ive got all the contacts in individual VCF files ... now I just need to get them from my macbook to the Porsche ... Do I need special software? Is it just drag and drop? Thanks Steve!

POST 7Original post

Here are the instructions. I have not yet had a chance to write this up as an article on the site.

POST 8Original post

Great stuff! My problem is that I have 1000+ contacts in my address book, relatively few with phone numbers. ed

POST 9Original post

Steve - I cannot for the life of me get my MacBook to connect correctly with the cdr30... Any hints or tips? Thanks!

POST 10Original post

Is your Mac's Bluetooth turned on? I ask because mine is normally off.

POST 11Original post

It's on ... I tried 2 different computers - I can get them authorized, but they won't stay paired for some reason!!!

POST 12Original post

Make sure that the laptop is not to far away from the CDR30. I did this while I was in my car with the laptop. You might also want to try resetting the CDR30 to the default settings and try to pair again.

POST 13Original post

I don't think I'm going to be any help. I do know that some devices will "time out". For example, my Motorola cell phone will time out after 30 seconds. Could that be happening?

POST 14Original post

I did it! I didnt realize it could only take 100 contacts, so I need to start again, but it works!!!!!

POST 15Original post

Same problem with pairing/connecting as you....how did you solve problem?

POST 16Original post

Once the Mac is already authorized, it doesn't have to stay connected on the car. Just skip to the "send to" step and it will work.

POST 17Original post

Could never get it to work and after spending too much time on project car ultimately went into frightening shut down mode with alarms beeping... and wouldn't start!! Fortunatley battery tender overnight saved the day...project aborted...not worth it for me. Thanks anyway for suggestions.

POST 19Original post

You may be able to still transfer your contacts from Windows. The key is simply being able to get your contacts into vCard format, pairing your laptop with the CDR30, and finally transmitting the vCard files over Bluetooth to the CDR30. I found a link that describes pairing over Bluetooth and then sending files. Take a look at the link and see if it helps you out http://www.oreillynet.com/wireless/2003/09/18/winxpunwired.html

POST 20Original post

I really wish I could get it done in the next few hours, however, I have some work deadlines that I need to focus on. I can work on it for next month or I could send you my Word Doc if you have any time to copy and paste the material in.

POST 21Original post

Send me the word doc and pics separately and I'll see what i can do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk which means I'm probably traveling at the moment so please excuse any brief or hurried replies, spelling errors, etc. Etc.

POST 22Original post

Thanks Steve! :cheers: Not being able to sync my iPhone 's contacts has been really annoying.

POST 23Original post

Doh! I can't get it to work again! I remember there was some unwritten trick... Hopefully it will come back to me with the aid of a beer. ..

POST 24Original post

Steve, I got my contacts in no problem... but am having a brain-fart on how to make the CDR actually dial? If I push the contacts button, they are all there. I can select one and the correct phone number shows up, but I don't know what to do next to get it to actually do the dialing. There is a "dial" button on the CDR but it brings up a dial pad screen like you were going to dial manually. I put my numbers in without a leading "1"... just like I would dial it on my phone. Could that be the problem? Any ideas?

POST 25Original post

New member here, been lurking for the past few weeks. Thanks for the write-up; I've successfully uploaded my ( iPhone 4) phone book contacts via a Macbook and bluetooth, as .cvf files. However, like the poster above, the CDR30 will not dial out on the contacts. Has anyone been able to figure out why this is? :helpme: I've been to the dealer for service, and they uploaded "the latest software" in to the CDR30 with no change. thanks, Bill

POST 26Original post

Did you require getting the latest software put on the CDR30 in order to transfer the contacts? I can't even get past that step The bluetooth connection between my macbook pro and CDR30 constantly connects and disconnects, so I've been unable to transfer any files.

POST 27Original post

FWIW, my MBP (2011) would pair, but when I tried to send the file, I got a "does not support needed service" message. :shrug: ed

POST 28Original post

The 2011 MBP should be able to do it if you didn't miss any steps (I missed one the first time). I've successfully done the contract transfer with both 2010 and 2011 MBPs. My buddy's older one, I think 2008, did not work though.

POST 29Original post

I've done a lot more playing around, with both the MBP and a work Blackberry Bold 9650. I was able to transfer contacts from the BB to the CDR-30 after pairing it successfully. However, a funny thing happens: the contact list only works when the BB is active and paired via BT. If I turn off the BB, turn on the iPhone , the radio recognizes the iPhone ...but the contacts list goes away. Turning off the iPhone and turning on the BB, the contacts list is back. I'm guessing that maybe a s/w upgrade on the CDR-30 changed the behavior of how contacts work - a separate contacts list seems to be retained for each device? Anyway, I am still getting the "service not supported" error, displayed on the MBP, when trying to send the files to the CDR-30 , and followed the instructions to the letter. ed (FWIW, just received my car, so it probably has the latest s/w update.)

POST 30Original post

Just wondering if anyone has been successful in pairing the iphone 4 to the cdr 30 at this point. There was a work around using a macbook which I tried which was unsuccessful also. It seems it had worked using snow leopard but it does not work for me using Lion. : (

POST 31Original post

My phone ( iPhone 4) pairs fine. It's just the contacts that don't sync. The MBP doesn't seem to support the file transfer mode, so I can't send contacts this way. ed

POST 32Original post

Nor can I find ANY way to get the contacts in for the iPhone , as the CDR-30 doesn't even let you manually punch them in. I guess I could use Siri to initiate calls...

POST 33Original post

I paired my Blackberry Bold and my iPhone 4s to my Pioneer head unit very easily, I think it took about 4 minutes all told to copy my Outlook contacts from my smartphones to the head unit. All contacts are there, easy to scroll and call through my built-in BT. Just a thought, you could always go aftermarket

POST 34Original post

lroathe: Thanks for this info. sounds like I may have a lot of manual editing in my future if this method works. I hope that you are successful with this program! thanks for the input.

POST 35Original post

I think this is because the CDR-30 can have 5 phones paired with it. I would think each phone would have its own contact list. But it seems strange that you could see the contacts from another phone.

POST 36Original post

I was one of Lane's beta testers...his program is working as advertised. Hopefully it'll show up in the app store soon. That said...it still depends on your being able to pair your laptop with the radio (and keep your iPhone on). Unfortunately, 10.7 doesn't want to pair correctly (for me it never asks to type in the 4 digit code, so they never pair.) Even under 10.6 it's flaky - it takes a few tries to get the two to pair properly. Bottom line, though: with perserverence, I finally have contacts on the CDR-30 that I can scroll using the stalk that work with the iPhone ! ed
