Bluetooth Issues - New Phone

[Don B]

Upgraded to a Samsung S8 Plus, phone connects to the car no problem, but I now can't see contacts or access last calls etc

Any ideas what might be the issue? Car is an 08 LCI 520d

It looks like you might need bt update as s8 is a pretty new phone and not sure that it's 100% supported by older bt units. Had the same with my note 4 a couple of years ago

Was hoping it wouldn't be that alright.. I upgraded from a note 4, which worked perfectly with the car.

When the phone is connected to the car if you go to the paired Bluetooth BMW connection on your phone and click the settings option is there a checkbox for contact sharing?

Yep, contact access is ticked on

And you tried deleting and repairing? Sometimes during that process you are asked specifically to allow sharing.

Simple solution. Buy a new car. Diesel's gone back to being evil so you'd be doing the world a favour.

Makes sense. The Bluetooth in a new 340i touring would definitely be up to date
