Default 2015 GX vehicle phonebook

Is there a way to manually enter my phone contacts? I can’t get it to happen as it shows 0 contacts for some reason. I have Verizon and an IPhone 7, if that matters.

The 2015 & iPhone VII should have automatically transferred your contacts over when you paired the Bluetooth.
Check in the Phone/Message Settings to be sure "Automatic Contact/History Transfer" is turned On.
If it is On but didn't transfer then tap the next line down to jumpstart the transfer. If this is not working,
might your device be a corporate issued unit with some security settings prohibiting contact transfer?

Default 2015 GX and phone contact transfer problem

It is not a corporate phone and there are no special security settings. I tried all the possible ways I could see to add my contacts, but it doesn't see them at all. Is there a way to do this manually, or should I delete my phone and start over? Anyone else have this issue?

As Mcomer said, it should show up automatically when it paired and synced. I would delete the phone and re-pair it again. Do you have another phone to try to pair and check too?

Default 2015 GX and phone contact transfer problem

I figured it out. I couldn't sync my phone contacts because some of the contacts had email addresses attached that got automatically transferred when I got a new phone. Once I deleted the email addresses, it worked!

That doesn't seem right? I don't use this feature but having an email attached to a contact is common. Maybe the email was entered in the wrong location on your phone caused this?

Great, now for the advanced class...Siri Eyes Free permits the use of Siri by pressing and holding
the "Off Hook" button on the steering wheel. Once you hear the Siri trill, release the button and
say "Text John Smith mobile" or "Respond Text" if you just received a text. Siri will repeat back
"What do you want to say to John Smith?". Compose and she'll read it back...send? Yes!

Press Off Hook briefly when not on a call to display phone screen
Press Off Hook briefly when receiving a call to accept...On Hook will send caller to voice mail
Press Off Hook long to engage Siri

I wish the ‘10 GX phone pad can do # and , for pauses. It’s helpful with conference calls.
