transfering my phonebook

Hi all
Could anybody tell how or even if its possible to transfer my phonebook to my car.
I am afraid I have a double whammy as it is a new phone and a new car so going round in circles a bit 
So far I have been able to bluetooth my phone to the car (a toyota prius) and both recognise each other but to transfer my phonebook i get so far then nothing happens according to the car manual the phone needs to support pbap service without operating the phone or if it does not support opp then i cannot use this function and it says that i can only transfer the phonebook data by operating the phone I cant find any info if the phone supports this in the manuals could anybody point me in the right direction or am igoing to have to do it manually 

My car is a 2005 and I had to add them one at a time, then I promptly forgot the nicknames that I gave to duplicates so I never use it.

Fair assumption I suppose but what I found with my car is that multiple entries for the same person required that I name one John Doe, the next one John Doe Cell, the next one John Doe work. If I had two John's it got a little more complex. Not so much trouble to enter it but more so to remember how I had named each contact. Again, I have a 2005, Acura TL to be exact not a bad car by any means but 2005 was a long time ago when it comes to technology. So, maybe what's out there today is  better able to handle it. I just wish this phone would automatically transfer calls to the car when I'm in the car. It's totally hit or miss.
