My contacts are synced to my 328i from my iPhone, and I can scroll though their names in the phone book via the iDrive system, but I'm having a problem.

Whenever I receive a call, the iDrive screen shows that there's an incoming call, but rather than showing me the contact's name, I'm shown their phone number. I don't have very many people's phone numbers memorized, so I still have to look at my iPhone screen to figure out who's calling me.

I've gone through the manual and all the settings I could find, and I just can't seem to figure out how to get iDrive to show me names instead of numbers for incoming calls.

Any ideas?
