Question Bluetooth phone book persistence question

If I connect my Bluetooth phone to somebody else’s E90, and it transfers my phonebook to that car, will those phone numbers be available to the user of that car after I disconnect? Is the answer the same for both iDrive and non-iDrive?

Only if your phone is in the car

The phone book will be active only on an active bluetooth connection with the phone. So if you disconnect and get out if the car, the PB will not have your entries. I tried with my spouse's cell phone and the PB entries shown are only those for the active connection. Real cool...

As far as I know the phone has to send the phonebook each time it connects to the car, when you leave the book dissapears on the car

Not sure about iDrive, but on non-iDrive, if you disconnect the phone, you don't have access to the numbers as you don't have access to any of the commands in the phone menu. If you try to go there, it says connecting, and if the phone is not there, you don't get anything. If you connect a different phone, you get the numbers of the phone connected.

No, it doesn't send it every time. It send it the first time only, then it stores it and it updates every time you connect. If you don't connect, then it just doesn't show up at all. I know this because when it send data, my phone button response is veeeery sloooowwww and I can see the phone sending data over BT. This won't happen again, unless I delete the pairing and I pair again.

I have found that phone numbers/names stored by voice command are usable on both our two bluetooth phones. The phone does not have the number added to its phonebook, but it's stored in the car's phonebook. Hope this makes sense.
