So I just got my Avic D3 installed and I am a little pissed that Verizon (razr V3c) won't allow the phone to export the phonebook.

I am on a family plan with my wife and in-laws so the chance of changing providers is slim.

On the other hand I am up for a phone upgrade in January. I will be getting rid of the V3c Razr and I was wondering which Verizon phones will allow the phonebook to be transfered.

Also what is the feature called that allows you to do this? When I am looking at phones they all seem to say bluetooth (including the V3c) but they don't say anything about the phone book transfer.

I'm not sure if this is even the correct forum. Let me know if I should post it in the regular D3 forum.

I have the D3 and the RAZR. But, I have AT&T/Cingular as the service provider. The RAZR will transfer phonebook contacts. But, you will have to do it one at a time.

If Verizon blocks this feature, then I am sure it will block it from other phones. It is not the phone, it is the service provider.

Yeah... but I have heard that they are allowing it now. I dropped my phone off at the verizon store for a software update at lunch. I am hoping that that will take care of it.

UPDATE.... I got it to work. I updated the software that the verizon store and now I can send each contact one by one.

My Sprint RAZR V3m worked great...transferred the entire phone book to the AVICD3 first try.

so you just took it to the verizon place and asked for a software update for bluetooth??? was it free?

My verizon LG phone wont transfer any #'s, whenever I got to phonebook transfer it just disconnects the bluetooth connection and wont connect back til I turn off the D3 and turn it back on

I just asked for a software update. It was free.

I'm not sure it will work with the LG. Works great with the Razr

Not knowing which LG you have but knowing LG's I suggest this:

FIRST AND FOREMOST. Go to MENU --> SETTINGS AND TOOLS --> BLUETOOTH MENU. With "Add New Device" highlighted hit options button and choose SUPPORTED PROFILES.

If you have OBJECT PUSH as a profile you should be able to transfer contacts.

When you go to the phonebook transfer screen it is supposed to disconnect. It is at that point you are to do transfer from the PHONE TO THE BTB (just be clear here that the D3 is just the visual interface) and there is no START button as pg. 15 in the manual says there is.

On the LG's there are two ways to transfer. If you have a newer phone then tr:.

1. At the D3 Go to the transfer screen. Your phone will disconnect.

2. If your phone has this option go to a contact in your contacts, hit option (or something similar), choose SEND NAME CARD via bluetooth, choose the "Pioneer BT unit2" The phone should start working on it and then the D3 screen will acknowledge receipt.

If that does not work then:

Go To Tools and and settings choose bluetooth as you did when checking for profiles.

1. Highlight the Pioneer BT Unit2 and select options and find SEND NAME CARD.

That should get you hooked up. You may have to do each contact one by one.

Does anyone here use the Chocolate with the D3? I have heard that it doesn't even pair with the D3. Is this true? No way to get it to work?

I am getting a new phone in a week or so and need to know which verizon phone I should get.

Awesome thanks for the help, Ill try it today and tell you how it goes. I have the LG-VX.... something- I think. Its the one with the screen that flips upwards sideways and has the TV channels on it. I like the phone but I cancelled the TV cause it never came in good enough around here.

Yeah it worked, I had to send them one at a time though but thats good cause I dont know most of the people in my phone anyway. Thanks again

Any word on the Chocolate?

a friend of mine has one next time I see her Ill see if it connects to my D3. I hate those phones by the way they are such a pain in the ass to use. Oh yeah my mom has one too Ill try hers, shes out of town right now though

Any chance you got to check and see if the chocolate pairs with the D3?

Since this is about Verizon, I thought I would tie in another discussion thread:

http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12539

This thread states that Verizon phones, with the exception of about 4-6 models issued over the last few years, does not allow wireless transfer of data using bluetooth technology and therefore MOST Verizon phones will not transfer your phone book to the D3.

It also states that there is a good chance Verizon will reverse this blocking policy this year.

I have a verizon LG EnV and was able to connect the phone but it will not allow me to register the phone. The only way I can even use the blooth feature is to dial manually. And I have to connect it each time. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ok, here is something dumb. When you are at the register screen (when your phone is connected, of course lol) You need to press and hold the first (soft key) position until your phone name populates that position. Kind of like setting a radio station preset on most stereos. If you have done that please post back with a little more specifics.

Also make sure that your phone permissions is set up to allow connection with the BTB.

As far as arcuhtek's post above, please do follow his link and read on further. Good info but IMO a little misguided and it is simply because this whole bluetooth and Verizon thing is complicated. I mean no disrespect to brother arcuhtek.

Peace! Two fingers. V

Well I admit my lack of knowledge on my personal verizon phone when dealing with the function of permanent bluetooth power "on."...so that part of the post is resolved. Thank god.

As for the rest of the post, it is not misguided. Whereas my phone does not have object push technology, it is still a fact that very very few Verizon telephones will work with the D3 cell phone address book trasnfer function. In fact, just a handful of phones out of the thousands of models they have sold over the years.

Perhaps misguided in some eyes, but for many new users here...it is invaluable information. Especially if one was about to purchase the D3 or even a veteran D3 user looking for a new Verizon phone.

And if one takes a look at this troubleshooting portion of the forum, it is easy to see that there are a LOT of Verizon users with nice cell phones with object push technology, sitting in their cars scratching their heads.....wondering why they cannot take full advantage of a very expensive tech purchase.

I got it to transfer contacts here is how with pictures and step by step
