Phone book transfer

[PolishPilot]

I tried to transfer my phone book from mobile to the car memory to no avail, and got the message:
"import not possible".

My phone is well connected to the bloototh, showing as phone and music source.
I can receive and make calls, but have to use my phone book and select from the phone.

Anybody any suggestion?
Transfer through USB or SD card?

I really do not wish to type all the 300+ numbers by hand.

My phone is Samsing GT-I9070, Android 4.1.2.

In my experience that part of the software is ummm... buggy (to use more than four letters ).
If you use voice control you can access the telephone book of your phone and use that one with the command "import"

I tried the "Import" function entered by hand in the "Phone" menu.
Got an error message.
Will try voice.

One weird effect - the car service switched the language to Dutch and she lost the phonebook. Instead of importing I switched back to English and there it was again :?: :?:

I thought that same with my iPhone 5 as the content of my contact list did not appear on the mmcs "mobile phone book" tab - however I tried the voice command system and got a surprise.
Press on hook button
Wait for the annoyingly long voice prompt to finish
Say call
Say first name of contact
Mmcs came back with the full name of that person - say yes (or No)
This contact has 2 phone numbers so mmcs said which number Home or Mobile - say Home.
Hear phone dial. Etc....

This must have been looked up from the iPhones contact list as I have not put any contacts in the mmcs internal address book....
In effect much better than importing once as its always uptodate....
Now if there is a way to prevent that long voice prompt at the start.......

I think it is "call" (name)
"Dial" will expect you to dictate a number.

I have a blackberry z30 (work) and I was surprised that it uploaded the phonebook to the car without issue - I had already paired it via bluetooth and it worked first time - I now have all my phone contacts in the car's phonebook. One of the few good things about being on BB10 thesedays I guess...
