Bluetooth kit and contacts with multiple phone numbers

I seem to have a problem with the bluetooth car phone kit and my Nokia 3110c phone.

The car and phone connected just fine as far as i could tell and all my phonebook entries were imported into the car.

When a person calls me I can see both the number and the name as long as I only have 1 number for that contact.
For contacts that have multiple numbers (I can add more than 1 number to the same contact: home work, mobile, ... and one of them is defined as the default number) i can't see the name of the person calling me. The car display only shows the number that's calling me. From what i could tell this only happens for contacts that have more than 1 number defined.

Also, when i try to call one of these numbers after browsing the phonebook the phone will not call the default number for that contact but another one - I don't know for sure if it calls the same type of number for all contacts but for one contact that i tested with, which has a mobile number (default), home number and work number it dialed the home number instead of the mobile (default) one.

Is there any way I can make the car dial the default number ? Maybe delete the other numbers from its phonebook ?

Sadly no.

On my phone it shows the contact x amount of times dependant on how many numbers i have for them, but lists each one with like this
First Name Last Name - Home
First Name Last Name - Mobile
First Name Last Name - Work


Then when someone calls in from a number listed then it shows as
First Name Last Name - Mobile / home etc.etc
01xxx xxxxxxx

I have a Sony Ericsson and after it connects to the car and I look at the phone book any entry that has more than one number associated to it will be repeated that amount of times. So if mum has a mobile a work and a home number then mum will display three times on the MFD.

My Nokia E71 displays which particular number someone is calling me from, namely mobile/home/office, with a little m/h/o next to the persons name.

For example: West, Tim /o with the number underneath.

With my Iphone, it shows them seperate in the list (Mobile) (Work) (Other) even the custom ones!

I checked again and for me (Nokia 3110c) it doesn't display Home, Work, ... for contacts that have more than 1 number assigned.

Is there any way to make the phone re-read the contacts from the phone ?
