Getting along quite well with my new SE Edition 1.0 TSI 116 PS DSG after the first week.

Finding my way around most things but have one wee niggle.

Does anyone have knowledge of how to set up a phone (android) with this 8" display system?

I can call up contacts and make calls using the phone section of Android Auto but the dedicated phone section from the menu just comes up as a load of blank 'favourites' boxes.

It won't allow me to import contacts or add anything to these favourites or add any phone numbers.

Been into Settings where there is a selection for Import Contacts but that does nothing at all.

I can input a number and make a call but that's it.

I realise the Android Auto method works but surely there should be a way to set up the phone section independently?

Thanks for any help on this.

Hi Offthewall,

I could be wrong but I think you have to touch and hold one of those blank favourite boxes and it should then take you to a list of your contacts to select one?

Thanks. I'll try that but may not work as it would not let me import any contacts to begin with.

I could see that method working if contacts were already imported.

It should reimport your contacts every time you connect your phone via Bluetooth... have you checked the Bluetooth settings on your phone as it could be locked down at that end... my phone which is android has a "contact access" toggle on my Skoda Bluetooth connection...

Had no problems with bluetooth connecting for Android Auto but have just checked the bluetooth settings and there is a 'contact sharing' button.

Will check that out tomorrow and report back.

Thank you Tangoss.

I did indeed check my phone settings for bluetooth and found the Share Contacts button switched to off.

Switched it on and contacts started to import.

Got to say I've never been much of a phone user so didn't even know there were any settings for bluetooth.

Thought it was just on or off.

Many thanks for your shared wisdom.
