How to stop downloading contacts?

[boguspoete]

I do not want my contacts to download / transfer to my 2015 Genesis (base model). Is there a way to make it stop trying? It tries every single time I start the car.

(There was an old thread on this several years ago with many people saying they were frustrated by it as well, but the issue went unresolved.)

Just so I am clear, you still want bluetooth connectivity, but don't want the contacts to sync, right?

I had a similar concern, but I just changed the name of my Gumada in my contacts to Donald Trump. That way, whenever she calls, my wife thinks that Trump is calling and seeking my advice.

That is correct.

On my 2010 it would sync the contacts every time it connected until I unchecked the "Sync Contacts" option under Bluetooth setting on my phone.

Unfortunately that does not appear to be an option here. The car continues to initiate the process. Regardless of what I do.

I see information on how to download contact but that is all. The DIS manual does not tell you how you can NOT d/l them.
Of course, once downloaded you will not get the message any more. I guess they assume everyone wants then d/l.
