Nokia, please help on this one !!!

E65 is able to a make a bluetooth connection and I can call (with numbers) and I can receive calls.
But I'm not able to get (list) my contacts, although "External SIM-modus" is on. The least you can say that is quite anoying for professional use.

If I look through some other post seems that all E and N-series are suffering from this problem? Can't be that earlier series of Nokia don't have this problem and the latest series struggle with this problem !!!!

Nokia can you bring out a patch / firmware / fix whatever.
Is there maybe a beta verison avialble? Is there a workaround?

Regards
Christof

I have the same problem with a new AUDI TT & E65.
What about "External SIM-Modus"? I have to switch on?
I have also some problems with bluetooth speak quality: sometimes people hear me disturbed from a lot of interferences. I have to switch off bluetooth connection and restart it.

Regards
Federico

Just to say I have the same problem with a 2007 model Audi A3 and the Nokia E65. My contacts don't get loaded up to the car, so I either have to record all the numbers/names on the car's system via the speech option (limited number allowed) or use the speech option to dial a number (which I have to look up on my phone first !!).

Annoyingly, I 'upgraded' from a Nokia 6230 which worked perfectly !!

Let me know if Nokia comes up with a solution for this one - looks like they did for the E61(?).

On the Audi Germany website, they have a list of compatible mobile phones: http://www.audi.de/etc/medialib/cms4imp/audi2/product/technology/pdf.Par.0004.File.pdf

Symbian based mobile phones are less compatible with the Audi communication system than the cheaper Nokia models.

This is astonishing. I have tested yesterday my E65 with an Audi A6 bluetooth, I can send and receive phone calls but effectively, the contacts are not synchronised with the car system making this car system useless.

Few people know this and it is rarely possible to test this functionality before buying the Car. I was assuming that if it's bluetooth, it should work with any mobile phone.

I don't care if this is Nokia or Audi responsibility, I think Nokia and Audi should collaborate together to find a solution to this problem.

If my E65 doesn't work with my Audi, what do you think is the easiest to replace? The car or the mobile phone? If Nokia understand this, they will understand that it's their problem as well.

Sorry Nokia, you are losing high-end mobile phone customers as soon as they will drive Audi.

I am an E50 user and with a new A6. I have the same problem with accessing the phone book on the Audi MMI. I am just registering my disapointment as I like the phone. Please Nokia sort it out.

[toyotadelirium]

N95 pairs but will not connect on a TOYOTA car kit ('07 offical kit)

Nokia need to sort this very quickly
as far as i can gather
Nokia have dropped the ball with the following:-
Audi
BMW
Toyota

thats a lot of customers to loose

not to mention, these are standard euro company car manufacturers.

I expect a fix SOON.

[mulkers]

I've read that this problem is fixed with Symbian OS 9.2.
The Nokia phones listed up there are using Symbian OS 9.1.

[toyotadelirium]

I see symbian 9.5 is out so why didnt the recent firmware upgrade for the N95 upgrade the os?

Is it possible to upgrade the symbian os?

[happycamper]

I have the same issue with N95 and E65 on BMW M5. The BT implement of the car is not compatible with the phones that is why it does not work. You can pair but that pretty much it.

[elohmann]

Same problem with N95 and BWM 3series E46,
pairing ok,
voicecalls made from phone via carspeaker ok,
audiostream via musicplayer to carauio fail,
addressbook not accessible.

My boss has the same problem with his X5 and N95.

I think the problem is on Nokia/Symbian side not on BMW.

It's a very frustrating phone, battery lifetime is very short,
GPS is working bad and slow and your phone runns very fast out of power. My 2GB Memorycard was damaged and I can't use my phone in my Car cause of this bluetooth problems.

both N95: Version 11.0.0.26
E46 Radio,Navi: Version 29.1 03.2007
X5 : don't know ~ 2005

Dear All,

Same problem for the (very expensive) Saab bluetooth kit and the Nokia E61. Works flawlessly with Sony-Ericsson Z530, K ... (older one), very cheap Nokia (6110 or something like that), and now with my flashy E61 : receiving and placing calls no problem, but I cannot access my contact list via my car bluetooth system.

I have got the suggestion from my retailer to download the newest OS for the phone, which I just did.

I will test tonight, and let you know tomorrow.

Johan.

Hi,

I have on my Audi A6 Avant the same problem...until now it was useless to speak, write, ask either to Nokia or Audi (at least in Germany)....good thing for Audi...bad thing for Nokia...it's easier to change mobile than buying a new car...so..bye bye Nokia....

ps. My wife drives a mini and had the same problem...till she bought a new Sonyericsson K810

[nunaco]

Hello,

I've exactly the same problem on my A6 Avant...and for sure I will not buy a new car...

Hi all

I use a Nokia 6021 with a 2006 UK Audi A6 Avant. the combination works very well - the full phone book, even showing correct icons for a contact's different Mobile / Home / Office numbers shows up in the MMI.

That's the good news. the bad news is that whilst the 6021 is a very acceptable basic phone, I prefer to use a 9500 or other smartphone - the 9500, E61 do not work with the Audi MMI in terms of the phone book. Why not? I really don't know and don't believe that in 2007 I should have to know.

So, currently, I use Vodafone multi-Sim which allows switching between multiple SIMS on the same number. However, Multi-SIM doesn't even allow GPRS, so there is no possibility of using this system with an email enabled phone.

Very difficult these days, DESPITE the technology to just have one device that (a) integrates with a corporate email system and (b) works in the car. Do none of these big companies ever talk to each other?? Do Nokia executives drive Audis? Do Audi executives use Nokia phones? A pretty pathetic performance from both in my view.

If it's any consolation to Audi drivers, the situation is to some degree worse with BMW & Mercedes in-car displays - these displays won't seem to allow multiple phone numbers per contact, so whilst they will read the phone book from a wider range of Nokia phones, you have to set up contacts such as Fred Mobile, Fred Home, Fred Office etc. How clever is that?!

[dfulgo]

Talking about CLEVERish and NOKIA is a contradiction in terms.
I think that very few of us got the N95 for free but, despite that, we've to be realistic: this device is amazing enough to be sold. And that's all.
Otherwise there would be no reason to market a product which miss:
- Outlook categories (my Motorola Accompli 008 was SyncML compliance more than 10 years ago, now Nokia state it but it is not true, SyncML protocol REQUIRES categories).
- History call list (every item with mobile icon).
- Erratic behaviour with some keypress.
- Bluetooth (compatible only with itself, not always).

It's a shame.

[peterlange]

All,
I am totally disappointed. Got an otherwise great E65 a month ago and now got my new Audi A4 with Bluetooth, navigation etc. this week. And now I realize those two gadgets are not compatible...
This is VERY frustrating. The phone can connect with the car, but no access to my contacts list, the phone-buttons on the steering wheel do not work.
Nokia, you really need to get this fixed asap ...

[deepest]

Well i have a ford fiesta '07 with the factory installed bluetooth handsfree option and a nokia 6110 navigator and guess what they dont play nicely together no suprise there (the carkit is made by nokia to top it all off)

[1powershop]

Me too,that is the problem.Hope to get a solution ASAP.

[spawnywhippet]

Same problem. N95 software version v20.0.015 and 2006 Audi A6 with MMI bluetooth.

I'm pretty frustrated after spending half a day messing around with endless settings and manuals.

[amanda5]

Have solved the problem. No longer use Nokia phones, moved to HTC TyTN2 which works perfectly with the Audi MMI.

Pathetic Nokia, just pathetic. What they don't know is that they didn't just lose my business, they lost my whole companies business and put all our directors into HTC handsets.
