Many congrats on your new car.

I must say I'm impressed by the complexity of the questions you asked for someone so new to the car!

1) Data entry: I'm afraid so. 2 address books! It's so silly. I guess satnav and telephone are separate modules so they have separate address books. I think they should have realised that it would have been better to 'fuse' the address books for customers who chose both options!

2) IR: nope - that's for electronic logbook only AFAIK. The simplest way is to transfer data from a SIM card to your car phone.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
