6230i in pre-wired Car Kit

Can anyone help....my phone has been working fine for past 12 months in Mercedes factory wired kit but as of yesterday phone doens't recognise that it is 'in the cradle'. Obviously this is a problem with the phone but I have no idea how to correct it. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Jill

Hi jill2
Have you tried just taking the battery out of the phone for a few minutes, long enough that you will have to re-input time and date; this might reset something.
Also you could try cleaning the contacts at base of phone with an eraser in case they have got dirty.

N73 wired car kit cradle available?

I have a Nokia wired car kit for my old 6100. The kit has a Nokia cradle that can be unplugged from the connection lead and presumably a new cradle can be fitted for another phone. Does anyone know if a wired cradle will be made for the N73, other than the universal cradle? The original kit was fitted by Carphone Warehouse, although when I asked in the store they said that there was no cradle for the N73 yet. TIA -Pete

Hi Folks
I'm an N70 user and I am astonished that Nokia haven't offered a pop out cradle for the N70/N73 series on the CARK-91 kit, given that:
a) The handsets are marketed as a business phones.
b) Battery life is indifferent, particularly if used with SatNav software.
c) Nokia must surely consider the road safety issues raised by users tempted to revert to hand use when the power to the bluetooth headset expires.
There may be an argument that technology has moved on from the six year old CARK-91, but I doubt it. It cannot beyond the wit of Nokia to produce a suitable adaptor.
Can I suggest that you bombard customer support with requests for a replcement cradle (as I have done) ; you never know, vox pop may yet influence big business
Yours in hope

Wired Car kit for 6300

Is there a hard wired option for the 6300 to a car kit?

In a nutshell, no.
The 6300 only has a Bluetooth option for car kit connection.
You can get a charging cradle though so the battery is kept charged....

6230i and CK-7w car kit

Having problems when phone is removed from cradle, several things happen intermittantly.
1 A message appears " use as data storage device" wether I accept or reject this it just goes into a loop asking the same question.
2. The power saver "clock" stays on the dislay and the phone locks up, or turns off.
3. The display freezes ,only diplaying half the screen and the name of the contact, and phone locks up, when the first call is recieved.
The only way to cure this is to switch off/on. As the phone switches off,only the red diamond on the shut down animation appears.
Another question should the phone mute the radio even when accepting messages such as "charging" and "battery full".
Also when in the cradle should the phone show charging after a call is made or recieved even though it was showing fully charged seconds before, does it not use the power from the car to power it when in the cradle

You need to get a newer software version for your 6230i, this was a common problem when it was introduced last year, and nokia service center will help you with this.

6230i and CK-7 Car Kit cradle

I'ved used mu 6230i with bluetooth on the CK-7 with no issue. I've just had a cradle fitted and when I remove the phoen it quite regularly just gives me a white screen and I need to reset it. Is this a known issue ? Is there a fix ! My firmware is 3.40 dated 23-05-05 - is there a more modern version and how can I get it ?
Iain

Hi Guys!
Just to let you know 3.46 isnt compatible for all the networks in the UK.
If you need to get the phones software updated please speak with your Nokia Service Point, they will be able to install the correct software for your phone/network.

Which Car Kit for my trusted 6230 & 6230i

I am so confused with the amount of Car Kits available. I would like a kit for my 6230 & 6230i and have seen 2 so far. The CARK 91 and the CARK 126 but do not know which would be more suitable. I do not want Bluetooth connection, I would just like to plug the phone in a cradle and have a decent 2 way conversation. Any ideas on which kit would be the most suitable. Power/stereo mute/external antenna would be nice but not essential. Thanks in advance.

CK-7W Car kit using the wired connection into an MBC-15s Cradle with the AXF-15s Antenna Coupler.
The only downside to these older wired car kits is that there is no digital speech processing so there will always be some background noise. Therefore is it critical that the microphone is correcly placed directly in the line of your voice and away from air flow from an open window or air vent.

Since updating to webOS 1.3.5, the connect and disconnect problems have mostly gone away! Thank you Palm!
One minor complaint still with Bluetooth (if you are listening Palm): The Nissan OEM kit supports up to 4 phones. I paired my wife and kid's phones to the car, including my Pre. When any other family member is in the car with me with their phone (non-Pre), my Pre will not connect to the car. Their phones connect just fine even though my phone has been paired to the car to be the "primary" phone. Only when I am by myself in the car will the Pre Bluetooth connect/disconnect work flawlessly. Thanks again for getting us this far!

Next G models compatible with car kits and antenna...

Help!
I currently have a CK-7W car kit with a soon to be obsolete 6235 CDMA handset. I am frustrated by the lack of quality handsets available on Telstra's new Next G service. The current 6120 Nokia only has bluetooth connectivity and no patch lead connectivity to external aerial. Has anyone heard if Nokia will be releasing a Next G model that will have a cradle compatible with the CK-7W car kit or any other hard wired car kit/antennae coupler or patch lead compatibility?

It connected and paired up fine before the update to webOS 1.4.0, had no issues with 1.3.5.1. The phonebook functionality also worked fine with the previous version of WebOS

CAR KIT 6310i - ADAPT FOR 6230i?

I have a professionally fitted Nokia car kit for a 6310i - fitted about 5 years old.
Is there a simple way to adapt this for my new 6230i either wired-in or bluetooth?
Would be grateful for any advice from car kit experts out there

This may not work, if your 6310i car kit has old software then it will not work with 6230i, it will say 'enhacement not supported', if you do buy the above items make sure you can return them if they do not work. The only other solution is to buy a new CK-7W car kit which dosn't cost that much more for the bits and is guarenteed to work with your phone and future phones hopefully. The choice is yours.

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!!

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.

6230i CAR KIT PROBLEM

Hi All,
I have recently bought a car with a Nokia cak kit.
Part nos;
HFU-4
AX-15S
MBC-15S
Which, from my limited internet ability, understand amounts to a CARK-126 kit.
I purchased a Nokia 6230i,which I understand works with this kit, but when I connect the phone I get the message 'Enhancement not supported'.
I have cleaned the connectors with an eraser, but to no avail.
Please can anyone shed some light on the matter.
Many thanks

The message "Enhancement not supported" suggests a compatibility problem, and from the Nokia website I could not fnd CARK-126. Where did you find out that this car kit works with the Nokia 6230i? Was the source reliable?
If it turns out that this car kit is not compatible and you do want to intall one into your car, use the Nokia website to find a suitable replacement for the CARK-126

Nokia 6230i Ford Car kit cradle

I have a Ford factory fitted car kit that is part of my dvd touch screen sat nav system. I have a Nokia 6230i and it was recently stolen from my car along with the cradle. I bought a new 6230i and a new cradle from Ford but when I install it in the cradle it says enhancement not supported. The Ford dealer that supplied the cradle have tried several different cradles and have now told me that the one I have is for a 6230 and that Ford do not make one for the 6230i. But my original one worked so they must do! Does anyone have one that works? And if so can they tell me the part number?

Sorry Dannyboy, but that won't work.
You have the correct cradle for the 6230i and it will work even with the newest software released some days ago.(v3.89)
"Enhancement not supported" is an indication for a problem with the ACI-Chip in the car's phone module (Accessory Control Interface-Chip).
So there is a problem in the Nokia handsfree module.
Unfortunately, there is no other possibility than going to your local Ford dealer and letting the "BT/VC" module replace.
This error is known at all Ford hotlines and it should be no problem for your dealer to clarify this.
Best Regards

Car Kit Bluetooth on Palm Pre Issue

I have connected by Palmpre to a Bluetooth visor car kit. However, as soon as I get an incoming call, Bluetooth goes into card view and therefore disconnects! Samething happens if I try and make an outgoing call. It is impossible to leave Bluetooth screen on full view so how on earth can I use this in the car??? Any ideas???

Hello bravo45 and welcome to the forums,
The Pre will only display devices it is compatible with. Currently those devices are Audio devices and A2DP devices. any other devices, like some cell phones and computers it may see them, but won't display them as a device it can pair with. This compatibility list is growing and changing. They have now expanded it to many karkits on the market.
Thanks,
Colapop
Colapop, any news on a fix for the Nissan/Infiniti issues???
