IDrive Address Book cannot access iPhone4 Contacts

[Chief-Cockeye]

It appears that my vehicle Navigation System has lost the ability to access my Contacts list in my iPhone4 for the purpose of adding destinations into the vehicle address book.

I have used this procedure many times in the past to input destinations directly from my iPhone4 Contacts; but now the vehicle Navigation system appears not to be able to access, or even recognize the existence of, the iPhone Contacts List. I reported this to my local BMW Service Center & they were not able to provide an explanation or corrective action.

It is noteworthy that the telephone aspect appears to be working well and reads the phone numbers/names from my iPhone without error (addresses are not shown in this operation, only the phone number/name)..

I am running the latest available updates in the iPhone & in the vehicle. My iPhone4 is running ver. 7.1(11D169) & the vehicle has the following software versions:
Multimedia: MX-003.005.004
Telephone: TX-003.005.006

Has anyone else seen this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
