Hi;

Is there a way to make a second contact/phone book on my S8 so that only one can be synced to the hands free phone book in my car?
It syncs when my phone is paired and connected to the car.

Can I easily choose from my current contact list on my phone and transfer them to another list on my phone?

I would then need to make one of them the main file so it will sync to the car?

But, would want to access them when necessary on the phone.

Honda link is the cars system.

Thank you!

Export the contacts at Google Contacts, in Google format. Edit the file, so only the ones you want in your car are left. Create a new Google account. Import that file. If you're doing this on a computer (it's a lot easier), add the Google account to your phone. Make sure Contacts sync is enabled and it will sync the contacts at Google Contacts.

When you pair the phone to the car, make sure that the Contacts app is set to the new account. (3-bar menu, first dropdown.) Then pair and connect.
