Iphone 4 And Pre-2101 Mm Is250 Transfer Of Phone Contacts

[Bratman91]

This is re-visiting an issue that has been discussed in earlier posts but which seems to have been dormant and unresolved for over 9 months. I believe that Iphone contacts can be transfered in bulk by Bluetooth to the post-2010 (hard disc satnav) MM IS250. However, this does not seem to be possible on pre-2010 MM cars. Most suggested solutions seem to involve either copying the details one by one from Iphone to the car or copying the phone book to a phone that will allow Bluetooth transfer. In my case, I have an old Samsung that I might be able to use except that it it will not pair with the Iphone (the Iphone say that the Samsung is incompatible) nor will it connect with my apple computer. Has anyone found a straightforward way to transfer Iphone contacts to the pre-2010 MM system? There are some Iphone apps that hint that it should be possible but nothing specific.

there is an app called Prius Phonebook.app which transferred via Bluetooth from a Mac to a Toyota (Lexus) Nav system. I've used it on an older 400h and it works, not sure if it will work on newer generation systems.

Thanks ColinBarber, that is a good idaea and, according to the documentation, should work. However, I have an iMac and it is not practical to place it near enough to my Lexus for Bluetooth to work.
