    As I understand, my phonebook contacts cannot be successfully transferred from my iPhone 4S and the OEM Telephone.

    So I downloaded an app for my macbook called 'Prius Phonebook' so I could transfer the contacts straight from here to the Prius.

    Has anyone successfully managed to transfer their contacts this way?

    I do everything the instructions say and get the the last stage then the app on my macbook says 'There was an error connecting to the device' (as in the car) when it is about to send the contacts.

    Really annoying!

    cheers

    I tried the same program and was unsuccessful. I gave up after 3 or 4 attempts.

    Guess the market is too small. Developers will not pay much attention on it.

    It looks like that software hasn't been updated since 2008 or about when Mac OS 10.5.x (Leopard) was the current system. It maybe that it can't work completely on newer versions of the Mac OS, especially Lion/Mountain Lion.

    Try doing it from a Mac running Leopard.
