MB said that there is a problem with uploading contacts from iPhones to COMAND using Bluetooth. MB said it couldn't be done without buying a cradle, which I didn't particularly want to do...
There is a workaround though which sounds a lot more daunting than it actually is. I followed these steps tonight and I now have 350 contacts in COMAND.
What I had to do was export my contacts from Outlook as .vcf files. There are a few different ways to do this. What I did was select all my contacts then send them as business cards and they appeared as attachments in an email that I was then able to copy to the root of an SD card. I'm sure that a smarter IT type might be able to come up with a slicker way....... The SD card then goes into a PCMCIA adaptor which slots into the front of COMAND. In the Telephone menu there is an option to 'Receive Business Cards'. Select it and hey presto within about 20 secs, 350 contacts are ready to use!!
Bingo!
Just thought it might be useful as I can't believe I am the only person who has come across this problem......
