Nokia 6230i and Mercedes car kit

Help.
My phone is no longer working in my mercedes command car kit. If I fiddle with it it does intermittently pick up but does not charge it and often does not work properly eg unable to close a call. I've asked Mercedes to check the kit and apparently it's not a problem with the command system or phone cradle. The advice I've been given is that it could be the software or the charge block in the phone. Has anyone had a similar experience or can give advice. Thanks.

Hi mhickman
The PopPort connector on the bottom of the phone is notorious, but you could try cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser which may improve matters. As this is not a Bluetooth connectivity matter, I don't think software is implicated in this issue.
If you ever want to upgrade your phone you can change UHI cradle from 6230i to a 6310i one which you could probably find cheaply on Ebay and use a ViseeO MU-1000 Bluetooth module which fits in the cradle.

    Hi I've got a Mercedes C220 '55' reg.
    Nokia 6230i and Nokia B6 787 5846
    The phone works well in the car, but I have a couple of questions:
    How do I program speed dials for use in the car ? If I press and hold '2' in the car, I get a error similar to 'no entry'..
    If I have a contact on the phone who has multiple numbers assigned to them, the car only seems to show there name if they ring from their main number.. Anyway around this ?
    Also is there any way to dial on of the entries other numbers, not just the main number ? Thanks

    anyone have any ideas on this ??

  • Nokia 6230i and VW Car Kit

    Hi all,
    I have recently bought a mk.5 golf with factory fit car kit and sat nav. I thought this was a good idea as all the warranty work and problems with it then point to VW!!!
    However, a few days after recieving the car my phone went pear shaped, so i had it exchanged by Vodafone. Found that the software version has also been upgraded on it.
    Since my new phone it hasn't worked in the kit. Other 6230's and 6230i's do!!
    Anyone else had this problem?? it does some really strange things!!!!
    Grrrrrr........
    Thanks

    Well after many phone calls trying to sort this problem, it appeared to be a Software problem on the phone!!
    Nokia are always doing things to improve their phones, but sometimes it just makes it worse.
    My old phone was running software version 3.62 i have recently upgraded to phone running v3.70 and all is ok again!!
    Must have been a temporary glitch in the software.
    Hope this helps all!!

  • 6233 and Mercedes car Kit B6 787.???

    Does anyone know which mercedes car kit (B6 787 models or other) my new 6233 is compatable with.? Thanks...

    Scotslad,
    Im happy to say that my 6233 does in fact work with the Blue tooth device fitted to my new Merc. When I collected the car the sales guy I had been dealing with ensured that the car and the phone where paired together and since then its worked fine.
    I leave the phone on Bluetooth and jump in the car and the connection is automatic and quickly sync's together.
    I cant read text messages on the in car display as yet but I think its more of a need to read the merc manual than any fault.! - The phone quality when on a call is excellent.
    Hope that's a help..

    Please stop posting in ALL UPPER CASE; it is considered SHOUTING, is harder to read, and is considered rude.
    If you have not yet done so unpair the car kit from the phone, or better yet reset it completely, Forget the car kit in the iPhone, and pair it anew.

  • Nokia 7500 prism and CK20W car kit

    I have a problemb with this kit, when i press the top button on the kit to enable the music player the radio is muted i can then control music player via car kit, if i then receive a call the music player stops but the radio is no longer muted ie i get radio from the radio and voice from the nokia speaker,when call is finished and back to music player,it does not mute the radio, when ignition switched off all seems to be normal the next time, everything fine when music player is controlled from the phone,

    Unfortunately, although the 7500 Prism has the 2.5mm audio jack connection, the handset will not support all the functions of the AD-44 that comes with the HS-44.

  • Problem with Nokia CK-7W HandsFree Car Kit

    My wife recently bought a new car and the dealership installed a CK-7W bluetooth kit for us. However, we're having a really annoying problem with it.
    Every so often, at completely random times, the stero in the car switches off for just a second and a really loud and annoying "beep" comes through the car speakers. At first I thought it was something to do with the cars settings so I searched through the car manual and even phoned the dealership back. However, the guy who sold it to me didn't know what the problem was and advised me to bring it back to them.
    It's a while until I can get back to the dealership, but I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the bluetooth kit rather than the car. The reason I say this is because the annoying beep coincides with whenever the bluetooth connection is lost with the mobile phone it's paired with i.e. I think the beep is happening when the bluetooth kit is switching itself off.
    My wife has a Sony Ericsson phone and I have a Nokia. I don't think the problem lies with the phones, because it happens no matter which phone is paired with it. It also happens when there isn't even a phone in the car or when both of our phones have the bluetooth switched off!
    The manual provided with the kit (and available for download on this website) is totally useless. It barely explains how to use the kit properly or what each of the buttons/dials does. Also, there's a little light on the remote control button. Sometimes it's on, sometimes it's off, but most of the time it flashes. The manual says "The indicator light has three states: On. Flashing. Off." But, totally unhelpfully, it doesn't say what each of these states mean!!
    My guess is that the bluetooth kit is randomly switching itself on and off, and then when it does switch off that is when the beep happens. But the very unhelpful manual provided with the kit is giving me no clues as to whether this is normal or not, or how to stop it happening.
    The random beep drives us absolutely crazy. It's really loud and makes you jump whenever it happens and there appears to be now way even to turn it down! It's spoling our enjoyment of the new car. I cannot believe this is normal for this bluetooth kit and I feel fairly sure there must be a simple way to turn this beep off. But as I say, the manual is totally useless, so I'm turning ti this board for help!
    Please someone help me with this! Do you think I've got a faulty kit or is there a simple way to cure this problem?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi daveduck
    I expect that they were happy to charge you enough, but why fit an outdated unit such as CK-7W to a new vehicle? It doesn't have noise canceling features such as newer CK-100 anyway and you would probably be disappointed with it's performance if trying to use newer phones. If one of you was using cradle connection and the other Bluetooth, I might have seen a rationale behind fitting this unit with reservations.
    There is a way of stopping the "beeps" if the permanent +ve red wire is connected to same source as the IGN +ve Blue wire so unit reboots each time ignition is switched on, rather than being left permanently on.
    The going rate for using a non-accredited Nokia carkit installer is a bit cheaper for the dealer but you have got the worst of both world's, a fitter not really familiar with Nokia products and poor advice.

  • Nokia E75 to Nokia bluetooth CK-1W car kit

    Hi Folks,
    have seen several posts aboutbluetooth connectivity between E75 and non-nokia bluetooth devices. I bought a car with a Nokia CK-1W car kit in it.
    Connected beautifully with my wifes Motorola V3 first time no problems.
    Bought myself a new Nokia E75 - connects once to the car kit, then wait for a while and at some point - not long after the power save mode the connection is lost. NOte it is not when the power save kicks in but some time afterwards. I have tried to set "Remote SIM on" but cannot seem to find an answer. I have even checked for the latest firmware this evening and I have the latest version.
    Can any body help or is it to much to ask for one piece of Nokia Kit to connect to another piece of Nokia kit.

    I have same kind of problems between my E75 and MB R-class carkit. First they are connected and few seconds later disconnected. I have lost my nervs...

  • 6021 with Tomtom and Parrot Car kit

    Hi,
    As the title suggests I have just had a parrot car kit fitted and now tomtom cannot connect to the phone. The question really is whether the 6021 can manage two bluetooth devices at once as obviously the carkit is talking to it and TomTom tries to connect to GPRS the traffic data.
    Does anyone else have a similar setup and can suggest a workaround if the above is not supported?
    regards,
    Shortguy

    Your phone will only support one audio accesory at once.

  • Connecting BB8900 to mercedes car kit

    Help, I have a BB 8900 and I am unable to access my contacts using a mercedes bluetooth car kit. My old razor works fine

    You need to set the MB to "receive external data" within the phone function;
    then go into the Bluetooth menu on the BB, select the MB entry and there may be an option to "transfer address book" in the menu system (there is on my 8120 so hoping it's the same for you).
    if so select the option, it'll start generating the address book before transferring (I get a bluetooth connection lost message during the process but ignore it).
    The MB system will start showing the entries received (assuming the transfer works), thinks about it for a while as it sorts the new data.
    Go back to the MB system and the phonebook should have your data.
    Now for the kicker;
    I can't actually update the MB phonebook with new entries from my BB without having to do the "transfer phone book" routine - which gives me multiple entries on existing contacts (Comand APS on 2009 C class, no convenience phone kit), as there appears to be no way to select new entries on the BB for uploading.
    So the MB needs a factory reset - this of course removes everything in the Comand system inc the address books, music files, GPS info such as My Address, stored addresses etc etc (those with Audio 20 won't have this problem, don't know about Audio 50 users),  all the Bluetooth pairings are lost inc your BB so delete the MB entry in your BB, re-pair etc etc.
    I don't think I've got it wrong, MB are looking into it to give them their due.
    If anybody knows how to solve this let me know!

  • Nokia N95 GPS - 616 Car Kits

    When i use the GPS on my N95 - if it connnectd to the car kit the voice navigation does not come on - i have to diconnect from the kit to use GPS properly. If i use the remote sim option it mute the radio at all times until i close the nagivation application. Any suggestions

    Looks to be a problem with a lot of car kits... many don't do the bluetooth audio thing - tho they do phone calls fine (different profiles I guess...)
    So when you pair the phone to the car you loose the Nav voice because the phone is trying to pass all things audio over the bluetooth link - even if the car doesn't know what to do with it..
    Leaving you in the position where calls work fine but voice nav is lost...
    It'd be nice if we could leave the nav using the phone speakers and the calls using the bluetooth car kit... it might be a bit of a compromise but at least it would keep us legal whilst driving and still allow the use of the maps.. after all where better to use a nav app than in a car???
    Pity Nokia seemed to have missed this one....

  • Noki N96 and ANY car Kit

    I have a N96 with Software version 30.033.098.1. When I try and dial from my Car Kit (Bury CC9060) the N96 says "Connection Error" and then "not allowed". It did this on the previous CK-15W, which I thought was faulty which is why I upgraded to a Bury. On my wifes CK-7W if I try last number redial by double clicking the Nokia button then I get the same. Dialling from the handsets works fine on all the car kits. I've toggles Remote SIm and it makes no difference.
    Anyone got any thoughts on this.

    Solved!

    Trust me...this won't be a Pioneer problem, it'll be a Nokia problem. See Nokia have been completely complacent with the fact that their phones are nice & shiny and they have a really good user interface. Their problem is they always release their software before it's ready and then let us (the punters) test it for them.
    Well...MR Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo...I have finally got around my Nokia problem....I've finally binned my Nokia and gone for an iPhone 3GS.....and have not looked back yet. I was really worried about not having a physical keypad however Apple have done it well.....It pairs and works well with my Bury car kit......
    Interestingly Nokia never replied to my first post...wonder if they'll reply to this..or delete it.
    Another advantage is that I don't need the memory hungry, buggy Nokia PC Suite anymore.
    Long live the iPhone! I am a happy EX-Nokia customer!
