Phonebook Download (Automatic Phonebook 
Transfer From Mobile Phone) — If Equipped
If supported by your phone, Uconnect Phone 
has the ability to download contact names and 
number entries from the mobile phone’s 
phonebook. Specific Bluetooth® Phones with 
Phonebook Access Profile may support this 
feature. Your mobile phone may receive a 
pop-up asking for permission for the Uconnect 
System to access your messages and contacts. 
Selecting “Ok” or “Allow” will sync your contacts 
with the Uconnect System.
See the Uconnect website, 
UconnectPhone.com, for supported phones.
To call a name from a downloaded mobile 
phonebook, follow the procedure in the 
“Voice Command” in this section.
Automatic download and update of a phone -
book, if supported, begins as soon as the 
Bluetooth® wireless phone connection is 
made to the Uconnect Phone, for example, 
after you start the vehicle.
A maximum of 5,000 contact names with 
four numbers per contact will be downloaded 
and updated every time a phone is 
connected to the Uconnect Phone.
Depending on the maximum number of 
entries downloaded, there may be a short 
delay before the latest downloaded names 
can be used. Until then, if available, the previ -
ously downloaded phonebook is available for 
use.
Only the phonebook of the currently 
connected mobile phone is accessible.
This downloaded phonebook cannot be 
edited or deleted on the Uconnect Phone. 
These can only be edited on the mobile 
phone. The changes are transferred and 
updated to Uconnect Phone on the next 
phone connection. Managing Your Favorites — If Equipped
There are two ways you can add an entry to your 
favorites:
1. After loading the mobile phonebook, press 
the Favorites button on the touchscreen, 
and then press one of the +Add Favorite 
Contact buttons that appears on the list.
2. After loading the mobile phonebook, select  Contacts from the Phone main screen, and 
then select the appropriate number. Press 
the Down Arrow button next to the selected
