Hi all. how do i get incoming calls on my 2010 TL shawd to display caller name and number. i'm using a blackberry bold 9700. thanks, caps59

 

import your phonebook into the system...it should be in the Phone Setup menu...

it'll show up after that

 

Yep, load the phone book and it works like a champ!

 

hi, i loaded the phone book, but when a claller in teh phone book calls, the number only shows up and not the caller's name. what am i doing wrong? j

 

check the prefixes as well as how u entered the phone numbers into your address book...are there dashes between the numbers?

 

the dashes are there.

 

damn...i have no clue then...it might be something with your phone then...maybe try removing the pairing and repairing it with the car.... If that doesnt work then im not sure what else to try

hope u get it working

 

How long are you giving it before picking up the call? I noticed yesterday that a call came in and I glanced over and it just had the number showing and I think it said something like "Searching..." and then a couple seconds later it finally displayed the name. That was probably two or three rings time to display the caller name.

 

Hi All, I'll let it ring to see if the name appears. Question, how should the prefixes be entered in the phone i.e. +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx? Thanks for your replies. Caps59

 

I'm sure the car's logic is doing a simple compare of the incoming phone number to what's in the phonebook. So on your part, the incoming number should match the number for the relevant contact. You probably don't need the leading country code (I don't have it on any of my numbers and it seems to work fine for everything in my phone book).

 

I have the same Bold 9700. Just enter +1 followed by 10 digits (no dashes, spaces or ()) in your phone number fields and re-import the phone book. It works for me.

 

Do you have the tech package (only because you didnt' specifically say you have the tech package)? If you don't, it will only display the incoming phone number.

 

I got the Tech package.

 

yes i have teh tech package also. i notices callers listed with the +1 prefic with no dashes works great. if you don't have the prefix in front of the numbers, =the caller's name will not appear. thank you all for your help. caps59

 

Yep, load the phone book and it works like a champ!

 

glad u got it working...that would annoy the $#!t outta me!
