Default Why does name come up on incoming phone calls only sometimes?

All names are in phonebook and I can scroll through them. I always get the number but only sometimes name and number..Anyone else?

Default me too...?

Almost the same here. I can scroll through the phonebook and see all the names but when I call or get a call I only get numbers on the screen. I've never gotten names. How can I make it show names?

assuming RNS-E, are you on the new 150/2007 firmware?

Default I had to match the numbers in my contacts to exactly how they show in the RNS-E example...

The numbers on my phone show as 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx so if I put them that way in the address book it works fine. Depending on what state I am in as sometimes numbers don't show that way in different states (not quite sure why). That seems to work for me

Default That must be it !! The "1" prefix. The numbers that show up have the "1' entered on my phone

THANKS. I'll try it. PS I am using the new upgrade. Blackberry Pearl on T-mobile

It did the trick for me - just match them exactly

Default Does the dealer do this firmware update?

My Bluetooth integration is inconsistent. Sometimes the phone book is available, sometimes not. Sometimes the signal strength is displayed, sometimes not. I'm not impressed with the system as a whole. Hopefully it's improved since I bought my car in 2006.

no, the 2007 update DVD for RNS-E (a.k.a. Audi Nav+) does it. You can get it yourself.
