I have bmw i3 rex 2014. and 3 smart phones. Moto X (1st Gen), Nexus 5 and Nexus 6.
when I attempted to pair my smart phones, I noticed one strange thing.
All of them pair OK I can make phone calls and I can see my phone records with phone numbers.
But only Moto X displayed the record -- phone # and the address of a person in the phone book and I can use those with GPS.
The other two display only names with phone numbers.
I don't know why only the older phone pairs fully with the UDM,
and the only difference (apart from being made by 3 different companies) Moto X has KitKat and both Nexuses have Lollipop.
Now they offer an update 5.1 for Moto X. I am wondering if I will loose the ability to see addressees with the new OS
I am a little scary, cause the operation is irreversible.
I have over one thousand records, putting addresses manually in the vehicles memory is insane in this age.
What do you think?
And who had luck displaying addresses in i3 and what brand phone did the trick? ))
What OS it had?
(not interested in iPhone success at all, apparently BMW loves Apple,
and the list on

has the most number of compatible phones,
so their loyal users have no problems displaying addresses)))
I am not switching to iPhone just for that reason anytime soon)) :lol:
