Thanks to Fluffmeister for his research on the Symbian Phone Solution -

1. Download Nokia 810 Contact Download Application for Nokia S60 3rd edition devices and install it using Nokia PC Suite.
2. Remove all pairing to the carkit from the phone.
3. Make sure Bluetooth is turned off on the phone.
4. Sit in the car with the ignition on so that the Bluetooth kit is switched on.
5. Run the Contact Download Application on the phone.
6. Follow the prompts to enable the Bluetooth and connect to the car.
7. The contacts will be transferred, it may take a couple of minutes.


Thanks to DanGB for the links -

Look here: SEAT Bluetooth Compatability List - SEAT Cupra.net

and here: SEAT.co.uk > Bluetooth Compatibility List

Please post below and I will update the initial post to keep the list up to date

after sending an email to skoda contact service and asking for the compatible bluetooth phones with the original inbuilt bluetooth car kit in my octavia 2007, they send me the list which is attached here and i thought it might help.

Further to the above, based on my own personal experience I can provide further details regarding compatability of some Blackberry handsets and a couple of others.

In order to be 100% compatabile with the bluetooth kit a handset needs to support RSAP (Remote SIM Access Profiles). At the time of writing Blackberry (and also iPhone) do not support this mechanism for security reasons.

Even without RSAP capabilities your handset may still function to some degree.

Blackberry Pearl 8100

• This handset is NOT 100% compatable with the bluetooth kit.
• Making and recieving calls is supported and works in conjunction with the multi-function steering wheel when coded to initiate voice activation.
• Phone book download from phone memory (or connected contacts via BES) is supported
• Call logs are NOT downloaded to the kit. Some documentation states that only calls made and recieved when the handset is connected to the bluetooth kit will appear in the call logs. However this is not the case - all call logs remain empty. This is due to this particular Pearl model having an older implementation of the Bluetooth protocol stack compared with the 8120/8130.
• If you are also connected to the Columbus/MFD3 head unit, all functions except display of the network provider are supported.

Blackberry Pearl 8120

• This handset is 100% compatable with the bluetooth kit.
• Making and recieving calls is supported and works in conjunction with the multi-function steering wheel when coded to initiate voice activation.
• Phone book download from phone memory (or connected contacts via BES) is supported.
• Call logs are downloaded to the kit. Some documentation states that only calls made and recieved when the handset is connected to the bluetooth kit will appear in the call logs. However this is not the case - all call logs are synchornised with the handset and you will see these downloaded prior to the phone book when connecting your handset for the first time.
• If you are also connected to the Columbus/MFD3 head unit, all functions except display of the network provider are supported.

Samsung G600
100% compatible with both the bluetooth kit and Columbus/MFD3

Sony Ericsson K750i
100% compatible with both the bluetooth kit and Columbus/MFD3
