I don't think it will show the name or who is calling on the Nav screen. I think I know what you mean though. When you are searching for a restaurant, store, etc, I know that if you have your bluetooth linked to your phone it will give you the option on the Nav to dial the restaurant, store, etc directly? Is this what you mean?

Can't stand it when a ugly girl calls and I answer by mistake.

you might need to put some sticky notes all over the dashboard with numbers of 'hot/ugly' girls so you know when to answer when to let it go to voicemail.

Is the uploading phone book feature only for the 07+?
If not can someone direct me to where I may be able to find instructions on how to do this?

I uploaded my phone book, and received a "Successful" screen. However, I can't find the numbers anywhere. All I could find in the manual was how to search. I tried searching for a name I knew was in there but it couldn't find it. Isn't there a list of names for easy dialing? What is the point of uploading if I can't see names/numbers?
