Hello Everyone,

I seem to be having some trouble accessing the phone book on the stock head unit in my FR-S. Just to clarify things, I have an iPhone 4 with the most current iOS (5.1.1 last I checked) connected to my head unit via Bluetooth. I've downloaded the phone book into the head unit using the menus as well and should be good to go.

Something strange is happening though. I must be doing something wrong when trying to make a phone call. I'm not sure how, but sometimes I cannot access the phonebook after I press the "Call" button.

When I press call I get either 1 of 2 menus. The choices are different. When all is working normally I get the following choices:

Last Number
Speed Dials
Phonebook
etc...

Now keep in mind, I use the main volume dial to scroll through the menu and technically, phone book is not visable until you scroll. Here in lies the trouble I'm having. Sometimes its there, other times its completely missing.

Sometimes after I press call, I only get the first 2 choices. Phonebook isn't even on the list of choices. What exactly am I doing wrong? I don't think its anything to do with the bluetooth connection because almost always I'm listening to songs off my phone. Is something actually broken?

To get it to work properly, I have to mess around with the head unit. I normally hit "END", change to radio and back to bluetooth audio, even delete the phone and re-connect it again using the head unit. Sometimes I just have to hit CALL and scroll the other direction using the volume knob. But still, I can't find anything common nor can I figure out if I'm doing something wrong.


If I can't get the phonebook to show up, I ulimately have to reach for my phone and call the person by hand. I then make sure the car is set to the audio source and all is good.

This is really annoying though. It's almost like its not working as the manual suggests. That or I really am missing something.
