No problem. OK, I did everything you said on the previous message (All e-mail accounts set up as mail accounts, "EMAIL" activated under "Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Bluetooth settings -> Advanced Settings -> Message access settings"), but still no emails synchronising. I go to office --> messages and only see sms and service messages. I go to office 'today' and there appears to be no unread messages, despite the fact that there actually are a few unread emails. What am I doing wrong?

I do think I have 6nr enabled, I had bmw apps but since saleman saw I didn't have an iphone he took out the docking station and took off the cost from the sales price. The cover art didn't transfer to the screen, just the music details. However as I stated now with this htc 4g I dont get that anymore just option to go to next song or back, my cousin is getting the S3, i'm gona test that out on the car and see how that works.

I have read that the problem may be the manufacturer of the phone. For example HTC may not allow emails through the Bluetooth MAP even though the System Settings may be set correctly. Prior to my upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich, I could see Text Messages, now I can't. I havent messed with this too much, not still can't get emails through. Contacts are slow to transfer, but do show up.

This may be true, but Dandle has the same phone with me (HTC Sensation), and he said his works. It might be that I am doing something wrong, I don't know. By the way, my phone is sim free, and last week I got a Sense update...

Do you have the same service provider? You might not have the same ROM.

The only thing I can think of if your phone has the settings ok is that you will need to unpair the phone from the car. Then when you repair the car asks you about what you want to transfer with some message about data usage. Make sure you have both music and messages selected on the cars menu. then wait 5 mins and see if the emails and sms's appear in the office section on the car.

We most likely don't have the same rom, I am using darkforest but this is still built on the same sense version just tweaked so in theory the sensation should work.

No luck. I unpaired the phone and re paired it but still no emails. The office screen just says 'no unread emails' when there are plenty of them in reality...

They don't need to be unread. Mine has email, messages and service messages for message types so I can view each type all together or individually read emails, sms's or the service messages if i wish. It also shows both read and unread messages.

That is similar to mine when I had to clean up my Google account as the car couldn't fathom out the way Google had organised the contacts so only displayed the ones it could. You should try cleaning up your Gmail contacts then delete them off the phone and re-sync them back from Gmail again.

If you have added pictures to your contacts (other than those from facebook) take them off. I had the same problem and by removing the pictures from my contacts solved it.

I don't get this. I only get sms and service messages icons in my car. So there is something else at play there. Any ideas?

You are a genius mate. I fixed a few google contacts, then deleted all of them frm my phone, resynced it bak.... and voila, they stay in the fone.. also emails, SMSs, service messages, all in ther all the time... good stuff... thanks a lot.
