Issue with text messages not displaying contact names just numbers

[usual.year4075]

Hi folks

so I have iOS 15, and Tesla software version 2021.36.8.8. I am getting this persistent issue of text messages from known contacts not displaying the names, rather just their phone numbers. I’ve disconnected my phone nd repaired, and reboot my car. Any ideas folks.

Are the contacts available in the car (touchscreen)? You have to enable contact syncing and make sure the Tesla app has permission to access your contacts. You enable contact syncing on the Bluetooth settings screen in the car, and give permission in the iOS Settings for the app.

Yeah contacts are available in the car which is weird. Contact syncing is enabled and i toggled on and off again to be sure.

Just fyi. I’m having the same issues. 2021.36.8 and iOS 15.2 beta

Same issue. Reboot didn’t help. Removing and re-pairing didn’t work. Started free weeks ago.

Same issue, glad I'm not the only one.

Likewise. iOS 15.2 Beta here

Same for me. Same firmware and iOS beta.

I'm having this issue as well, except I'm on ios 15.1.1 and tesla 2021.36.8. Can't remember if it started when the car updated to 36.8, but was around that time. Messages also seem very delayed and were often read prior to me even getting in the car.

I'm using a Galaxy but instead of just showing the numbers one in ten times it shows a wrong name from my contacts.

Hi All,

This worked for me. Go into control panel > service > reset Bluetooth.

You’ll have to pair the device again as it forgets everything, just be aware it will take a while syncing with the older models but everything is back to normal for me thankfully.
