short answer, not possible. iphone stores all the contacts differently. probably better to save everything in sim, and then get another phone and try to transfer using that way

to be honest i think the whole idea of transferring phone book to the car. that sounds so dangerous if the car is stolen, not to mention the amount of pain to go through the process. i always wonder why lexus can't do it like bmw, where they use the bluetooth to just access the phone book on the phone directly. it's perfect, coz' when my wife is driving the car, she gets her own phone book on screen

Well I hardly play with the NAV but I found out there are 3 settings inside for 3 different drivers. Not sure if this changes contacts though.
