Voice control telling me my phone book is empty

Hi all.

I have my phone synced to my car using bluetooth. The only way I can get to the phone book is to press 'Menu' and then "Telephone" and then press one of the little buttons at the bottom and then I can scroll through my contacts using the knob.

That's a pain to do all the time and I was trying to do it using the steering controls but I don't think that's possible (unless anyone can tell me otherwise). So I tried the voice control and said 'phonebook'. It then tells me the phonebook is empty. Anybody else had this issue?

I have a 2014 with no iDrive or Nav. The phone book for the Voice Command has to be entered "manually". I think the command is "save name", then you just follow the prompts. It's in the 2014 manual. Good luck.

Thank you, I have managed to sort it now.

I'm really disappointed with the BT on the BMW's. My Abarth (a fancied up FIAT) which only cost $17k new automatically uploads all my contacts into the car and is a breeze to use. WTF BMW?
