Samsung Galaxy SIII and CX-5 Bluetooth

Mazda CX-5 and Samsung Galaxy III

I shared the problem with my Mazda CX-5's inability to load the phone book from my Samsung Galaxy S3. I was told by the Mazda Bluetooth hotline (1-800-430-0153) that the issue was loading information from the Google-based phone book (oh, and Outlook based phone books too). There is an app available in the Playstore for $1.95 that solves the problem: Bluetooth Phonebook. I downloaded the app and my phone book loaded into the Mazda. The speed with which the representative provided the information let me know that Mazda is aware of the flaw. I told the representative that this was something Mazda should fix as I suspected that it was an issue with the Mazda software. But I'm sure that this solution should work for others and it's fairly cheap.

Just wanted to say thanks, this fixed an identical issue for me.
 
since updating my galaxy s3 to android 4.3 everythings works without a problem, if you can root your phone and put a custom 4.3 rom.
