Phone contacts
Just linked my iPhone X into the iDrive system (been away for repair and then got lost). When I press the telephone button on the steering wheel it just shows a list of recent calls in the display. Is there anyway to get the contacts list shown?
If I ask “hey bmw” to phone one of my contacts by name she will do it, so my contacts are there. Apologies if this is a stupid question but l’ve tried and can’t see how to do it.

Good question. As I have discovered, about the only thing I have found the phone button on the steering wheel is to view recent calls or accept or hang up a call. My car reads my phone's contacts (granted I have a Samsung S8) and I can see them by either going to COM or NAVIGATE off the menu; in either case, there is a sub menu item called CONTACTS Hope that helps!

Thanks RSnic. That’s what I see also.... just can’t understand why you can’t view contacts by using the phone button.... that would be more useful

Depends..if you have hundredths of contacts and no way to go though them quickly the function would get hard to use. I like it the way it is. Especially since the built-in lady always is able to assist using voice.
