I am having issues syncing my pearl 8100 address book via bluetooth with my 2009 audi a3...the phone works fine for calls. The settings for bluetooth on my pearl are:
discoverable: yes
Allow outgoing calls: always
address book transfer: ebnabled
led conneciton indicator: on

I get a message that says "unable to locate object push server" when i try to transfer addresses from the pearl.

Any thoughts?

Does your 8100 support Bluetooth's SIM Access Profile?

Compatibility problems are common with Bluetooth. You might find the problem is resolved by software upgrades on one side or the other, but maybe both will need compatible upgrades, or it may never work. Welcome to the crazy world of Bluetooth.

That happened to me too after I upgraded to OS 4.5. I have a 2006 Audi A4 and Pearl 8120. I deleted the connection on the car and phone and then tried pairing again. This time everything worked, including my address book.

I had this problem on my own (I have a car with Bluetooth -Mercedes W204- and a BB 8820) and I was struggling with this for several months. I look everywhere on the internet with no answers and I found a lot of people with the same problem. However.... I think I FINALLY HAVE THE SOLUTION:

Here we go:

- On a bluetooth connection you have, basically, two components.
- You have the BB device and the car device.

The key is that the car that is able to receive address book transfers has TWO services:

1) hands free unit
2) Objects Push


The thing is that this TWO services cannot work together AT THE SAME TIME.

Normally, you have the car device activated as a "hands free unit", SO, when you attempt to transfer the address book, you receive the famous message "unable to locate object push server".

The one million dollar question is "how can you switch to "Objects push" mode ? Answer: go to Bluetooth, select your car device, open Options and press for "update list of services" and.... voil�!!! the description "hands free unit" will change to "objects push". At that time you will be able to transfer contacts (obviously setting your car device -in my case- to receive those contacts).

Be careful: once you finalized the transfer, you must deactive the car device for receiving contacts and, on your BB, update again the list of services to get your "hands free unit" again because, if not, you were possible will be having problems on connecting over the bluetooth (another common problem I saw in several posts).

And that�s it. It worked for me so, pleae try it and Enjoy!! By the way, you don�t need to update your OS....
