Facebook contacts synced but not showing on blue tooth car kit?

    I synced my Sony Xperia X8 with Facebook using Vodafone 360. Seemed to work fine and I merged any duplicates on the website.

    Problem is when I now connect to my bluetooth kit in my car it's only picking up the non Facebook contacts?

    They do still have their phone numbers, any ideas? Blue tooth kit is a Parrot 3200 LS.

    Cheers.

    the facebook contacts arent actually merged into your contacts, they are just displayed there

    Oh right. I manually merged them to get all the info just under one contact. It has the facebook info and their phone number etc.. Wrong thing to do I'm guessing?

    No, that's the best display method for the phone and will update from facebook.
    But it's still just displaying the facebook data. It doesn't actually merge the 2.
    The only way to do what you want is to manually create a new contact or update the existing contact with the facebook info.

    Okay, you've lost me here.

    You're saying that the contacts haven't merged they're just displaying this way, then how come the bluetooth kit no longer sees the people "merged" with Facebook data?

    I reimported my contacts from my phone memory card and it seems to have worked. Each contact has the same information a few times but seems to work anyway.
