    Hi everyone,
    I am told by Ferrari that 458's are not fully compatible with the iphone through Bluetooth for telephone functions, my screen does not show caller ID when a call comes in. Sounds very odd to me that Ferrari would not be compatible with one of the most popular phones in the world. Has anyone had the same issue, would you mind confirming your iphone through bluetooth displays caller ID on the front dash screen or not?
    thanks everyone, have a great weekend,

    Very strange, 130 people have viewed and none have noticed if their caller id works or not! I am assuming out of 130 users some have iphones!

    I don't remember mine having any problems on either 458 I had.

    Freakin' Apple changes it's stuff all the time. I'm so fed up. My Ipad crashes on their own Itunes store after their last "update".

    Ridiculous.

    When it comes to Audio and electronic peripheral integration ferrari is lacking big time, I'm pretty comfortable saying they downright suck.

    Call Apple
    Call Bose

    Stop the madness

    Mine doesnt, not even as the correct number, just a random selection of digits and letters, so i cant even recognise a well known number, i have to look at the front of the actual phone to see the caller. So annoying!!

    Thanks everyone, still some what unclear results, some working through contacts, some not working at all, and some appear to be working. Mine does not show at all, I have to check the screen on the phone. Yes very annoying.

    I have the apple 5 and a 2014 458 Spider...I have over 1000 contacts and my call display works every time. I am glad it does for I normally don't answer calls from people I don't know, too busy enjoying life.

    Ferrari finally agreed there was a problem, quick software update through the dealer and it is fixed. It is unfortunate you are asked to prove them wrong before anyone even bothers looking into it... You should inquire with the dealer to have it fixed, it is very annoying.
    take care,

    My iPhone 5 contacts and 2011 model 458 syncs up perfectly and displays without issue, I'm glad to say! I'm told it has had all the latest software upgrades.........

    Try to erase your phone from the list and connect as new device and do it all over again. You need to allow access to the phone's phonebook etc.

    Needless to say that it seems to be an Apple-issue. Zero problems with Android-phone ;)

    hello,
    I am not sure what version it was as I was not given any details. All I know is once I had enough information that showed it should be working, it got fixed! they informed me it was a software update...

    good luck!

    Thanks ... so my next obvious question is ... can you supply me with the "Enough Information" that you have so that I can prove to the dealership that it should work, so that I too can get it fixed ;o)

    Cheer, in advance, if you can.

    Bob, It's called built in obsolescence. Hardware that eventually cannot support new software helps support future sales.

    When the car and phone are paired, go to the bluetooth setting on the phone and see if it will allow you to share specific contact lists. Some bluetooth implementations allow this.

    I've not had any problems with iPhone and 458.

    hello,
    I have asked for some details, and were told Ferrari asked for some data from the car, and provided a CD for the update, and it was loaded by the dealership. this is as much info as my service consultant had on the issue. I hope this helps.

    my 2010 California doesn't show the name of the caller either... I've deleted the pairing and repaired it... and the same... there is a bunch of random numbers on top and the phone number displayed below it... The little phone book icon has a red check beside it...

    Does anyone know how to display contacts on a list to select? When I push Telephone button on the side, it makes you go through voice assistance... which is so annoying...

    I would just be thankful it even works to connect your phone in the first place. It’s a Ferrari.
