Thanks! look forward to your reply so I can try it.
Consider complaining to the Dept of Consumer Affairs or contacting the Attorney General for your state as they might respond to those government offices. Consider recalls for defective product as advertising never mentioned blue tooth issues prior to purchase & salesmen never mentioned it as an issue. Wish I had checked out out this forum prior to purchase.
Advise your friends to not buy Hyundai as they are ducking out on this issue. What does that say about other issues that might pop up in the next few years? It sounds like they are reacting to this issue like Toyota did to many of their issues. :lemon:
Just sign me one disgruntled Turbo owner!
I hope this helps
Thanks a million you saved a lot of frustration and one happy person now. I went to Verizon and to the dealer with this problem and no answers. I have a ford Edge and that is a simple operation for downloading the phonebook. I want thank you again.

ANyone else had this happen? I didn't change anything in my phone, didn't get a new phone, nothing, it just started happening all of a sudden.
Thanks, Sam
We purchased a Sonata this weekend and we are having the same problem. Contacts importing backwards. Have you had any succes solving the problem?
1st line: John
2nd line: Smith
Now you put John Smith on the first line and this will resolve the problem.

Unfortunately this is just the opposite of how I would want them to be on the phone and the car recognition. Since I only care about a few favorites when calling from the car, I made duplicate entries for them, with first name in the "Family Name" field, and the last name in the "Given Name" field names used by Android.
I have not been able to get the Sonata to recognize a name using only one name field, but have not stopped trying either.
1. Sometimes it can take 10-15 minutes to connect with my Blackberry.
2. Is quite strange, it connects with phones not in the car. I had my Blackberry in the house by the window 15 feet from the car and it connected. I thought maybe it was a one time thing but no. On Sunday when I started the car it connected with my husbands cell, which was in the house 30 feet away.
Has anyone had that problem?
Or is it just my car?
As with WiFi, subtract 10-20% of the range for each wall/barrier the signal has to pass through.
So there's no reason why it wouldn't connect to a paired device that's outside the car.
Samsung told me it was a Hyundai issue, Hyundai told me it was a Samsung issue. I finally just cancelled my Verizon contract with the Alias2, and switched to the TMobile G2 made by htc and it works perfectly.
I have been hearing that it is hit or miss with Samsung phones and the Sonata's bluetooth.
We were in love with the sleek new design, along with the fuel economy and safety features; one most importantly being the completely hands-free bluetooth technology that the salesperson could not boast about enough.
We were advised, after purchasing our vehicle, that the service tech would set up our phones as a courtesy and get a going so we would be all set.
Shortly after we brought the car home, the problems began.....pairing failed, address book not uploading, etc........
So, fast-forward to now, May 2011 and I will tell you the circus that we have been through so maybe you won't have to go through it and just NOT buy this half-assed redesign.
We have had 3 new stereo systems installed. The dealership has basically gone back and forth between telling us that it's a software glitch, a bad unit, and now, as to wipe their hands of this and simply make us go away, tell us that our phone is NOT on the compatibility list, so they have no obligation and can do nothing. (This compatibility list, that is btw, NEVER shown to you at the time of purchase to allow you to make an informed decision on whether or not you are willing to compromise on the car's functionality).
Now, when first purchasing the car, we asked the salesperson about the phones working and she was confident about them working......along with the tech who set our phones up......no one ever mentioned (within the first 10 days where we could have returned the car outright) that there was a very strict list of compatible phones that have been approved by Hyundai corporate. As never having owned a vehicle with Bluetooth before, we were both ignorant to the limitations associated with them.
(I had a Blackberry Torch and my husband has an Samsung Captivate).
We have spent more time and energy going back and forth and I even went as far as to downgrade my phone (which, btw is no easy task with the phone company after a recent upgrade) to a BB Curve 3GS. This was done after speaking to Hyundai corporate and them assuring me that it was not on the list, but would be on the newly released list......well, it doesn't work.........so too bad for me, yet again, I guess.
Through all this there are some really disturbing and dissapointing things that are going on......
First, the compatibility list has NOT beeing updated since 2009....you can look for yourself on the Hyundai website under their bluetooth compatibility section; you can download the PDF and see that there has been nothing approved since then.....also, upon speaking to a 'Platinum Tech' on our numerous visits, he even said that this is the same technology that they were working on in 2007 when he was in Korea for a conference....
So, this newly, amazing, re-designed Sonata is a huge failure in the technology department.
They have assured us that they are 'working on it' but they have no timeline....so, while we continue to pay our full payment amount, we are without one of the main safety features that we wanted (especially with a new child).
I am so utterly dissapointed with Hyundai that I don't know if I will ever even consider another car from them. We qualify for the lemon law and the magnussum moss warranty act.....so what we do from here, I'm not sure.
Most importantly, I want Hyundai to act responsibly and inform their consumers of their technology limitations so that people don't have to go through this like we have.
It's a shame....you can return a pair of jeans for not being made properly, but a 30,000 loan and a car that is sold under false pretenses....well, you have to get a lawyer, jump through hoops and put your life on hold......
Hyundai, you should be ashamed of yourself. :mad: :mad: :mad:

"2011 Sonata phonebook won't laod
When start up your car you will hold your phone in your hand and all of sudden on the upper left hand side a message will show PERMISSION take your finger on slide it down and a popup will display and answer the check mark. Then you phonebook will load and a message will stay transfer completed. I had the same problem. "
There was a response which said you could go into the cars setup and adjust the volume. This is correct, but it only affects the volume on incoming, repeat, incoming calls.
Anybody got a solution? I would even settle for a suggestion. Thx
