USB / SD Card / Phone Questions

1 - I didn't get a USB cable with the car. I asked but was told none was in stock. I've tried the USB cable from my mk6 with a 32gb dongle and it doesn't work. BUT it does work with a small dongle.

What is the part nr on the cable you got with your Mk7? And what size USB sticks/HDs have you tried it with?

2 - SD Cards - what sizes are people using successfully?

3 - I have an android phone. I can pair to the car but when I try to download contacts it says "No contacts with numbers available". I have 'accepted' the contact download on the phone and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I'd go back to the dealer and insist they get you one (noting mine came with a iPhone link, so perhaps this is standard)
Parts are listed on Volkswagonstore.co.uk
The Media Manual has allowable sizes of SD cards. I'm using a SDHC 8 GB no problem.
Can't help with last problem other than saying, "should have bought an iPhone". lol. only joking as iphone 5 isn't supported properly either and the adaptor makes whole connector/phone hard to get in compartment. grr.

Just a thought. try deleting the pairing and try pairing the phone from scratch. I've seen corupted pairing setting cause problems on other forums.

Don't start with the iphone shit :p LOL

If I can't get the USB to work I'll just buy an SD card. I need a 64GB one though - I couldn't find info in the manual as to the sizes that work?

page 26 in table at the bottom. Says SDHC upto 32 GB. or SDXC upto 2 TB. Sop beware the 64GB SDHC as it might not work.

I am using a HAMA 16gb SDHC no issues
I have also used a couple of different flash memory sticks Peak and some no brand ones ( just make sure you format in fat32) and they work fine.
my Lumia 800 works fine full contact list loaded etc and can also BT music
