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.

this is my problem with nokia 5800:
my phone is updated.
sorry my english isn't good
1. music player have too much problem and player hang too much,too much ,too much.and earased playlist and all songs in playlist and from music player then i should earase songs from my phone then retransfer to phone
2.music player sometimes hang at the end of song and I should restart my phone!!!
3.Oh INTERNET!often when I work with internet and click above a link phone hanging and restart browser and I huffy!!!
4.messageing has not recently use numbers and I should alwayes add my numbers from contacts but nokia java mobiles in part of "To" has recently used numbers shortcut!!!
5.when dialling a number and failed,I should heare the error trump for 7 second and don,t disconnect with any key!!!!
6.after i update my GPS some of entertainments isn,t in new version, such as take photo from map nad altimeter and ...!!!
7.photo camera has not sound off or intercept the voice!!!
8sometimes remot of player dosn't work and I should pause music then replay to work the remote
9.the camera has not 16:9 aspect ratio.but 5800's lcd is 16:9
10.Note applicatin has any shortcut for sorting notes
11.bluetooth should saved in phone memory and if memory be full or the shared file is longer than memory phone we can't save that on phone!!!
12.delivery report dosen't shown at inbux and I should that from Delivery report part and if number of messages is more than 20, we can't know delivery report!!!
13.

1.
2. Their different teams. As I said, this is not a big issue unless more people send emails to Nokia asking for it, and no, as far as I can see, only a minority cares for this issue. Nokia will not spend to develop something in an OS that only a few people care about.
5. Its an OS design. Either live with it or buy a new phone.
7. It seems you do not understand what "country dependent" means. It depends upon your country's rules and regulations if this is available, and if the majority of the countries in the world are making laws for the prohibition of silent cameras, Nokia cannot do anything about it. If they break this law, then that country will not allow Nokia phones to be sold in that country, which is bad for Nokia. Personally I dont understand why people want to remove shutter sound.
9. The setting to get 16:9 ratio is yes, software, but you also have to consider the sensor hardware. The sensor hardware is able to receive light in the same ratio as the pictures, and not in 16:9 ratio. Hardware cannot be adjusted. You yourself said you work with an SLR camera, and if you look through the viewfinder, you see that the camera lens sees the view in a "square" ratio as well like the phone. Creating software to render a picture in 16:9 ratio is just simply creating software that cuts off the reception of light in the top and bottom part of the picture so as to create a 16:9 effect. Meaning the camera is not utilizing the full 3.2 megapixels of the phone, and the result is just the same as getting the picture you took and editing it on your PC to show a 16:9 ratio.

Yes the phone is available all throughout the world.

Hi @JoshYudell
As you can see there is no Asha 508 in the Nokia product catalog >> http://www.nokia.com/global/products/asha-products/
Where did you buy it? It would be good to check the phone model as suggested above, as if it is not an authentic Nokia phone you won't be able to get support from any Nokia Care Point.

Problem with Nokia Messaging on my N97 (V22)

Since afew weeks I have a strange problem with Nokia Messaging on my N97.
I receive emails using Nokia Messaging (V10.2.26) with a date shown incorrect as 01.01.0000 and the email then can’t be opened/read.
This happens either on 3G connection as well as WLAN and it seems to be by random, not only HTML-emails or emails with text only.
I have uninstalled Nokia messaging already and reinstalled V10.1.24 but the problem still remains.
Is there any idea how to fix this issue because it is quite annoying and I can’t use the full functionality of my cell phone?

i hope it works for him and others as i kno9w thesome that are just giving up on it.

Problem with Nokia Camera and Smart Sequence

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Nokia Camera and the Smart Sequence mode.
Basically, if you take a picture using nokia camera, and view it in your camera roll, it usually says, underneath the pic "open in nokia camera".
Well, if I take a pic using the Smart Sequence mode, it just doesn't say "open in nokia camera" so, to use the functions of smart sequence (best shot, motion focus, etc), I have to open nokia camera, go to settings and tap the "Find photos and videos shot with nokia camera" option.
Does anyone has the same problem? Anybody solved it?
I already tried reinstalling nokia camera, but that didn't help.
I'm running Nokia Black on my 925.
Thanks everyone!

Hi,
I had the same problem with my 1020. It did get fixed with the last update to Nokia camera.
However, IIRC, it didn't just happen right away. When browsing the camera roll I'm pretty sure that the "open with Nokia camera" text wasn't there.
Slightly disappointed I opened the (Nokia) camera anyway and was going to test the smart sequence again. I noticed the only precious pic I'd taken using this actually appeared top left of the screen.
I opened it and I had all the smart sequence editing options again - that we're missing previous. Made a new picture and saved it.
Now when in camera roll the text shows below the image and all is good.
This probably doesn't help much except that it didn't seem to fix automatically.
I work @Nokia so I can ask around a bit to see if this is a known / common issue (not that I know any developers)

Problems with Nokia Photos (Lifeblog)

I have been using Lifeblog 2.5 on my PC running on Windows XP sp2 for more than 2 years and was very pleased with how this software worked. I regularly used it to transfer both photos and videos from my N80 and N95 to my pc. When Lifeblog was premium software I paid for the full version.
I had a problem with my PC and had to perform a destructive recovery on the C drive of my pc. I then tried to download the Lifeblog program again from Nokia only to be met with a SORRY greeting. So i was able to find the Nokia Photos software which I downloaded and installed. I then imported my Back up files from Lifeblog.
The problem with Nokia Photos is Videos do not play. Only SMS and Photos can be viewed even though I have ticked all the boxes.
I think that Nokia must have some problems with Lifeblog and Nokia Photos. Any help as to how I may be able to get it to work as well as it was before would be greatly appreciated.

I have since reinstalled all the XP framework software and it seems to work fine now.

A problem with Nokia 5530 wirmware updating! Help!

Hi all,
I have meat the problem with Nokia 5530 firmware updating: updating allways finish with the message "Downloading of the variant package failed.Most probably there is non-commercial software in your device."
Is there any solution for that problem?
Thanks and regards,
Alexander

first its ok
then
translation:
For a better connection please insert the usb-cable directly in to the computer and not trough a usb-hub or -keybord or a dockingstation of a laptop.
Nokia Software Updater has tried downloading the software, but this is failed 4 times.
Its posible that it can be caused by a bad, slow or instable internet connection.
This failure can also occur because we have maybe a problem with our servers.
try later again
i tried it on 2 PCs one with vista and one with XP plz help me

Problem with Nokia Video Manager - No video, only ...

Hi all,
I have a problem with nokia video manager. I have been converting movies to mp4 and watching with my cell phone for a while now. But all the videos I have converted were less than 30 min. long.
When I tried to watch a video longer than 36 minutes, the picture froze some time around 36th minute and only the sound continued to play. I have tried several other videos with similar lenghts and all seem to freeze at the same exact point. The player continues to play the sound after picture freezes.
Could someone please help ???

Is there any particular app you are trying to install?
I downloaded Fmobi last night after using a free copy for ages.
It wouldn't install due to me having the 'old' installer still there.
Kept giving me the same notification you stated.
I found it by using the 'App Manager', deleted and the install went in straight away.
