Try this finally worked it out.
I found that you firstly need to make sure that the car can access the phone book. I did this by completing the pairing between car and phone as normal. Once this is done turn off the Bluetooth on the phone in the drop down menu from the home screen. The car then disconnects, then turn it back on and you'll get a pop up saying connecting. Once it connects then another popup asks for permission to access the phone. Check the box and hit yes.Now, to get the contact on the idrive you need to edit each individual contact and assign it to the group 'My Contacts'. (it may work with other groups i haven't tried)All my contacts were 'Not assigned' to a group so therefor not synced to the car.Once this is done, turn off the Bluetooth like above and turn on again and the car connects and you should see your contacts appear.I hope this works for you............
