Help Ford Sync

I just bought a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid with Ford My Touch Sync and while I can pair my phone and transfer my "phonebook" I am finding a handful of my contacts are NOT syncing and I cannot individually push them to the car. It's very frustrating and I would really appreciate any insight and guidance on this.

I'm running an SCH-i535 Rooted with Cleanrom 6.

THANK YOU!

I may not know about syncing contacts with a vehicle, but is there a limit set by the vehicle as to how many contacts it will hold?
 
Hey Mike! Takes 2000 contacts and I've only got 925ish, so it's not that. I'm sure other people have had the problem, it's just figuring out where to find them!

Oh wow...2000!
Hmm, be patient and someone who know will be-bop on over here:)

Just curious tho, about the non-syncing contacts.....is there anything different about them in the information for them?
Are these contacts perhaps saved on the phone instead of gmail/google or saved on the sim instead of the phone etc etc??

I'm just throwing out some idears here
 
Boy, I wish I could think of something else to help ya :)
What would happen if you dialed the "failed sync contact" from your car. Would that contact be added?
Or the other way around...what if the contact called you whilst you were in your car.

Again, hurling ideas around :)
 
I had this same problem. On the surface I couldn't see what was different with the contacts that sync'd and those that didn't. Went to my google contacts (on pc). Changed any contact that didn't have a first and last name, removed any non-alpha numeric characters (except ., as in Dr.). AND added a phone number for everyone. Used 999 999 9999 if they didn't have a phone number.

Deleted phonebook in Ford and re-downloaded, all contacts came across.
