Bluetooth issue

[wristpin]

My phone pairs with the car ok , can make and receive calls and could see the phones address book ok but now while still being able to make and receive calls I cannot bring up the phone's address book in the car . Understand it to be Phone Book Acess Protocol issue (PBAP) . The phone manufacturer (Doro) suggests that the car is at fault but the car mfg is saying that it is the phone not allowing the car to access the phone book.
A Google search brings up some others with the problem and some suggestions but as yet none has solved my issue.
Should say that the issue seems to have coincided with me adding a contact to the phone book .
Suggestions welcome!

I only know Parrot hands free, -- after adding a contact do you not need to force an upload of the new address to the Car, so it will probably be the whole address book again, may be a totally different system to Parrot and it just all happen auto after blue tooth pairing.

I have had this happen to me twice, both times i deleted the phone from the car, re-paired it and it was fine after.

Thanks, I think that I've already tried that but will give it another go.

The one in my van periodically refuses to connect to my phone. It's made by LG and the sat nav is also rubbish. My solution is not to answer it, when the office complain I point out the Bluetooth doesn't work

Well, have solved the problem - sort of! Put the SIM back in my old Nokia and all works as it should so despite what Doro say , it's their problem, not the car's.

I would expect that it's something like the phone uses a newer protocol that allows the handling of certain fields of a contact in a particular way which the bluetooth in the car doesn't adhere to. Did you add a new contact manually or by importing a business card/.vcf?

It was a manual import but I finally sorted the problem by saving my contacts to the sim and then doing a factory reset on the Doro. Cross fingers that it's a permanent fix .
Thanks to all for the suggestions .
