SGH-u700 - Ford Sync - Bluetooth - downloading phonebook

I recently purchased a new ford with Microsoft Sync - When my phone was first paired, phonebook downloaded, but after first call - it was like all other calls were on private. Ford recommended I updated the software in my phone... and Ford also updated the synce software. Now I cannot download my phone book. I get a download error. Therefore, I cannot use the system via voice activation. I have to make all calls using my phone to connect to the system in the car. Does anyone know how I get the phonebook downloaded to my car system? I I was having the same problem with my U740. I went a got a U750 and it is having the same problem. However, the phone my wife have and ENV2 works just fine. I think this maybe a problem with Samsung and Ford not being on the same page.

    I did contact Samsung and got the run around. Even though there is a reference to a new software version for the phone, Samsung would not give it to me.

First, before you go to your vehicle. Delete the Sync connection on your phone. Then go to the vehicle and turn it on. Push the Phone icon on the center console, in a moment the "phone menu" will appear. Turn the tuning knob until the screen says "System Settings," push OK, then turn the knob until it says "Bluetooth Devices." Turn the knob to "Delete Devices." Hit OK, it should show your phone model number, push OK again. Then turn the know to the word "Return." Then turn the knob until it shows "Add Bluetooth Device." Hit OK. Push OK again and the Ford Sync system automatically offers a 6-digit PIN number on the standard. However, if you turn the tuning knob, it will say "Special PIN." Push the OK button and the system will show a four-digit PIN. Go to your phone and have it search for Bluetooth devices. Select Sync and then enter in the 4-digit PIN. After acknowledgement, the Sync system will ask the question "Make Primary" push OK. Then it may ask about "Set 911 Assist On?" push OK. Then it will ask "Download Phonebook." Push OK and OK one more time. Then give it some time to download the phonebook. If you have a phone model that is compatible to download contacts, this process may take up to three minutes or so.

How do I connect to Ford Sync?
To use any of the phone features for SYNC such as making a call, receiving a text message, or using SYNC Services, you must first connect, or "pair" your Bluetooth-enabled phone. Pairing is what allows Bluetooth devices to communicate securely with each other.
Please note that SYNC can make and receive calls using only one paired phone at a time.

Before you start

There are a few things you should do before starting step 1:
blobserver?blobkey=id&blobwhere=1309207543643&blobcol=urldata&blobtable=mungoblobs&b=91
Turn on your
  • Mobile phone
  • Vehicle
  • Radio/SYNC

blobserver?blobkey=id&blobwhere=1309207543650&blobcol=urldata&blobtable=mungoblobs&b=91
Enable your phone's Bluetooth feature and make your phone discoverable.

Press the Phone button to access the Phone Menu. Press OK. Add a Device displays. Press OK.

SYNC prompts, "Press OK to begin pairing device." Press OK.

SYNC prompts, "Search for SYNC on your device and enter the PIN provided by SYNC." Press OK.

A six-digit number displays on the screen for three minutes, during which time SYNC actively seeks for the same number from your phone.

Type the number displayed by SYNC on your phone key pad.
Upon successful pairing, a message displays confirming the phone is connected.

Exit the phone pairing process by pressing the Arrows to select the Exit message and press OK to leave the Phone menu.

I'm trying to downloade my address book or contact list from my cell phone (Samsung SGH-a437) into my SYNC Navigation system in my new Ford 2009 F250 HD? I can receive phone calls but have not been able to...
un pair the phone then re pair the phone if it does not automatically ask if you want to download the phonebook then you have to push the numbers to the phone manually by going to the phone book folder where is says to add contacts and it will more than likely let you push them with your phone by going to the phone number in your phone and sending to sync with the send via bluetooth option...

I was having the same problem.. I had to get a new phone in order to download the phonebook. I got a samsung A827 andit took care of the problem. I had to go to the phone store and trial and error phones until I found one that worked. The list on Syncmyride.com contains many older phones that the stores don't carry anymore. Good Luck!
