Phone button on steering wheel.

When I press the phone button on the steering wheel a list of previously dialed numbers is displayed in the instrument cluster. However, I find that it won't always let me dial the one I want. Sometimes you scroll down and select a name and press the phone button and nothing happens, but if you select a different name it has no problem dialing it. Also if you select the original name via iDrive there is also no problem. Anyone else experience this?

Normally all of mine work just fine, however if I try to make a call too quickly after starting up either the list does not appear (hasn't loaded from phone yet) or I get the behavior mentioned by the OP. Perhaps it could be the fact that it hasn't fully loaded yet?

Don, this has happened to me a few times. No idea why. Will follow the thread with interest.

How can you get all the numbers to display in the black screen? Only the ones I manually selected from the phonebook show up there or ones that I chose via voice control. They show up on the idrive screen all don't show on the dashboard
