[Q] Contacts encoding problem with car audio

---

Hi everyone!

I have a car (Nissan) with Daewoo non-dvd audio system, with bluetooth. And I have annoying problem with contacts (mostly in russian language) synchronisation between car audio and S3 - during incoming call I see some odd characters on car audio display, instead of russian letters.
So, I think this is because of my car audio doesn't understand encoding of phone's phonebook.
And one moment - it seems to me that contacts are not stored in car audio, but taken from phone each time.

Simple question: what can I do to see russian letters on car audio dispaly?

PS: All contacts im my S3 synched with google account.

it's more likley that the car audio system doesn't support russian letters.
i have changed my contacts to english names long ago, now it syncs perfectly with my car, voice commands, facebook etc..

There is a full support of russian letters, because iPhone + car audio = no problems with russian characters in contacts. And in addition, via Bluetooth Audio my S3 can transmit MP3 tags in russian.

in that case it is something with the encoding i guess.
sorry, i don't have any suggestions for you, hope you'll sort this out somehow.

BTW have you tried to flash an aosp based rom? they have a larger language support by default.
