I just took deliverey of my first ever Maserati and GranCabrio. I have tried the manaul and the delaer, but neither can help with managing my 1,500 entry phonebook on my Blackberry. I have successfulyl synced with the car, but just have a long list sorted by Chrisitain names of all things!  does anyone know if:

  1. You can sort by anything other than the first letter?  For many companies I have a contact name, but probably won't remmber it so cannot locate the company in this long list.
  2. The car has the abilty to add contcts by hand to up to 4 directories. Is it possiblre to populate these directories from the the bluetooth list or fromt he SIM card or something? That way I could put the most important numbers into the cars system.  Doing it by hand is just too painful!
  3. Any other tricks to manage a large phone book
Drives me mad that you spend so much on a car and the basics you get on a Mazda aren't there!

Thanks in advance

Welcome Mike...and nice choice.

I doubt you will have any help from here as yours is the only GC on here as far as I am aware.

I actually discovered one big issue was the phonebook will only sync contacts that have less than 80 charachters in total in ALL fields. So that's tel numbers, email and address.  I had to create seperate contacts with just a tel number in order for them to sync.  Quite beyond me why there is an 80 charachter limit including fields that it doens even sync!!!

I think that you are asking a lot of the system. How often do you speak with the bottom half of your 1500? It's a small thing but I have noticed on my GranTurismo that I can type in the first letter on the keypad to get around the address book quickly. Sorry I cannot help with your two questions but I hope you like you car.
