How do I transfer the address book of a Samsung Galaxy Y.

Anonymous — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 11:15:35 GMT

I have paired a Galaxy Y [GT-S5360] to my 2013 Mercedes Benz via bluetooth, but I am unable to transfer the phone's address book. Please let me know how it is done.

Tap the cars connection in the phones bluetooth settings and tick the box next to contacts.

Selected Settings > Wireless and Networks > Bluetooth settings > MB Bluetooth. MB Bluetooth shows paired.

Tapped MB Bluetooth. Showed connecting.... then paired. No box next to contacts appeared.

Have I followed your instructions correctly?

Looks nothing like that shown in your reply:

Tap where it says "MB Bluetooth" to open it.

What options do you get if you tap the menu key (bottom left) ?
Other than that I can only assume that the phone is not capable.

No options appear when I tap the menu key. I've looked on the Mercedes Connect website. My phone isn't listed on it. There is a note on the website that advises downloading BlueDUN App from the Google Play Store. A freeware version is available. Do you know anything about this App?

I've used similar apps in the past and they work quite well.

Will BlueDUN enable me to transfer my contacts from my phone to my car's address book?

I'll have to look at what it can do to answer that but I can't right now.
Is it free?
If so, just try it.

OK, so I've had a look https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluedun&hl=en-GB and you can download a 5 min trial version before deciding if you want to spend the £3 on the full app.
It specifically mentions the MB command system so in theory it should do what you need.
Anyway, you have nothing to lose, so give it a try.
