Hello,

I've encountered a problem with the Bluetooth contact transfer in iOS 10 on my iPhone 6S. With previous versions of iOS, contacts having multiple phone numbers (home, mobile, etc.) would show up as separate entries on my vehicle's Bluetooth system display, each with the type of number specified; for example:

John Doe (mobile): 555-555-1234
John Doe (home): 555-555-5678
etc.

Since upgrading to iOS 10, the type of phone number is no longer indicated by the Bluetooth system:
John Doe: 555-555-1234
John Doe: 555-555-5678

So now I can't differentiate between the numbers. In the phone's Contacts app, the types (mobile, home, etc.) are still there - it's just when transferred to my vehicle's Bluetooth system that this information seems to be missing. Has anyone else noticed this? It always worked fine with previous iOS versions going back as far as I can remember.

If it matters, it is a BMW 2006 Bluetooth system (iDrive). No changes were made to the vehicle's settings - the only change was upgrading from iOS 9.x to iOS 10.

Thanks,
cinergi
