Phonebook Transfer

I know its not supported natively, but I was wondering if anyone was working on the bluetooth stack for phonebook transfer?

I use my phone hooked up to my Pioneer headunit in my car via Bluetooth and would love to have my phonebook in the car so I could see the caller ID right on the screen.

If it supports AD2P then it should do it automatically. My JVC KW-NX7000BT does.

A2DP is not for phonebook transfer...

A2DP is designed to transfer a uni-directional 2-channel stereo audio stream, like music from an MP3 player, to a headset or car radio

The profile for phonebook transfer is PBAP.

Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP, PBA)
Phone Book Access (PBA)[1] or Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) is a profile that allows exchange of Phone Book Objects between devices. It is likely to be used between a car kit and a mobile phone to:
allow the car kit to display the name of the incoming caller;
allow the car kit to download the phone book so the user to initiate a call from the car display.

Ok I got my definitions wrong, but it should still transfer it automatically.

Why would it work automatically if the default Bluetooth stack doesn't support the phonebook transfer protocol?

So I guess its not working on mine then, I'm just imagining what I'm seeing on my unit. I haven't made any extra adjustments.

Bluetooth Profiles

Hi,

I have the same need for bluetooth phonebook transfers. I have done some research, and my issue (and maybe yours) is that my bluetooth headset unit uses the following profile for Phoenbook Transfer and sync:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
1.26 Synchronisation Profile (SYNCH) , otherwise known as the PIM synchronization profile.

The Sony Ericsson HCB700 headset that I use, and many Parrot models with LCD displays and built-in phonebook Sync, use this.

These are not currently included in the Bluetooth stack of Cyanogen 4.0.4 ROM that I'm using, and probably not in the next official release of Android.

I know some Parrot units have the ability to upgrade to use OBEX, which the following group of developers are working on. You can refer to existing discussions and apps here:

It would be great if a ROM developer would look into incorporating both the SYNCH and PBAP/PBA profiles into the next release....
