Android to NAV . . . . . . hello ?
17 X3 w/nav Vs. Samsung S7 android.
There is the "phone" app (green button) and the "contacts" app ( yellow button ) So my question is . . . . "What does this NAV from ? "phone" list . . normal ? >>> answer ! NAV thru Idrive Nav works from android "Contacts" (yellow button) NAV thru Idrive Communications works from android "Phone Contacts" (green button) Can the phone app sync with the contact app ? >>> answer YES these two apps share about everything and sync automatically! But a contact entry in "Contacts" that doesn't contain a phone # will not show in "Phone Contacts" unless you turn off the "don't show contacts with no number"( in settings of the "Phone Contact" settings ) ( kind of a catch 22 on that one )( have to come up with a way to identify entries that are missing a phone or address ? ) 1. I have been frustrating myself trying "contacts" over and over. 2. where is a detail description of the function of contact list Vs phone list. >>>>> there is NONE ! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tuesday....went to Best Buy and talked to 1 Samsung phone guru, 2 other phone sales people. The "phone contacts" and "contacts" both use the same base app, phone has blue tooth access for calls. You should be able to initiate a nav route thru either app. >>>>>> and you CAN IF everything works correctly ! And when phone is in car and both are on...... the car via bluetooth simply shows the sync'd information from your phone. So that if you initiate a nav route from contacts, its using the latest infor from EITHER app on your phone. BUT. . . ALL entries must be complete to avoid .... a void ! again . . . IF everything is working correctly ! You can save each entry from either app to the vehicle. Time to hook up the charger to the car and go play with the phone & nav.<done that (what app does nav use on an iphone?) . . . . ? ? ? ? ? ? ? your experiences may vary with model, phone, working equipment, and position of the moon

Another ? ?
Yep another question ?
Bmw Guru says the vehicle talks / updates info on board from the phone infor from contact and phone. . . every so often when Both are on and working, driving. . Anyone know how often this "every so often" occurs ? ? ? . And if i were to make an entry in the smart phone, during travel (like when the wife is driving) how long before it updates to the vehicle ?
