I have version 3 installed, on doing a search for modules it finds the module and gives me all the information about it but I can't find it in the CCF file or anywhere else.
It is not the BT version.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Yes you can
A simple email to Gap, 1/2 an hour later a reply instructing me how to do it, another 1/2 hour and I've got it working
Although I am a little disappointed that you can't just press the green switch and speak the recipients name as you could with the Parrot I have just removed, or have I got something wrong?It can when others can't,

You have to program the names and numbers into the car itself to do that - which means that they are not phone specific - but is also a chew to do
You can pull the green button twice to dial the last number - and just the once to get it in to the phone book (From memory that' where you end up!) and then use the two up/down buttons on the steering wheel to scroll through the names/numbers and then a pull on the green switch dials it - whilst doing this, you see the name on the display in front of you and if you pause the number. Mark.

^^^^ that's the way I do it, just scroll alphabetically. Top tip, if you've got a number "home" or "SWMBO" store them as "0 Home" or "0 SWMBO" then they come up first. 0 = zero not 0 = Oscar.

How exactly do you do that?
Scrolling up and down is ok, but one click per number is a bit slow with the Parrot (which I didn't like for other reasons) you could jump alphabetically or say the name, although this was not particularly clear as it is spoken with a French accent
DSL; that's a good tip I already do it but I use an "a" prefix, I could do it with the numbers I us most.
Please remember I've only played with it for 10 minutes or so, at this stage I'm grateful I get it working on my new D4 heated wheel It can when others can't,

You can press a letter on the keypad ( on radio ) to jump to that letter in the contacts .
If you have the voice button .. Go into settings on the touch screen and choose voice .. You should be able to add names / numbers from thereG4 Gone ...but not forgotten
If you have the voice button you can also use the command "Phone Dial Number" speak the number, which I do sometimes, all 10 numbers at once, and it speaks back the number to confirm and you say yes and it dials it. Almost never makes a mistake - but that could be because i live in Solihull so speak the same language Mark.
