Any Suggestions on a Bluetooth Car Kit for iPhone 3G

Any suggestions on a bluetooth car kit to go with my iPhone 3G. I could get a bluetooth earpiece, but I would really only need this in my car because of the new California law.

Hi Mike,
What's your budget? For less than $2,000 U.S. you could get into an ARRI kit with a 650W and two 300W heads. This is what I would use. If you don't even have $1K for a Lowell kit, do an internet search for budget kits and home made setups. I saw some kits for as low as $99 to $399.
You may find some good info on this Film Riot link too: Ryan's Light Kit: Low Budget Lighting Tips For Your Videos &... | Film Riot | Revision3
Thanks,
Kevin

Best choice for a bluetooth car kit for the 4S?

I want to add a car kit to my 2004 MINI I have the Aux in jack for the audio HK ans XM radio system that came with the car but the 2004 Nokia bluetooth kit that was installed when the car was new only worked with a 2004 Nokia feature phone and after I replaced that phone with a motorola phone in06 I have had to use a Jabla ear piece for hands free in the car... and with the new 4S I would like to fit a proper working bluetooth car kit I understand there is something new about how bluetooth is implimented in the 4S that is causing some problems with car kits.

What is the best Bluetooth car kit for Siri?

I have an iPhone 4S and I do a lot of calling for work from my car. I need a really good Bluetooth car kit that plays well with Siri.
I bought the Motorola Roadster and it is very inconsistent. Sometimes people can hear me very well and other times I am cutting out so badly no one can understand me. When I am making business calls this is unacceptable. I can always hear the person I am talking to very clearly on the Roadster.
Siri does not understand me through the roadster and it can take forever to finish a request. Usually I just get the phone out and do it myself, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a hands free car kit.
Playing music would be a nice feature but the most important feature is call quality.
Thanks. Any help you can offer will be very much appreciated.

Car kit for 6500 from 6230i

I have the now old cark 126 great holds and charges the phone even has an arial. It seems what ever I do now with my new phone is a backward step. I am begining to think I should have kept my 6230i instead of changing to the 6500c.
I hope one of you can help with the following issues.
1 Which hands free kit should I use?
2 Is there a cradle available?
3 What about charging the phone ?
4 arial ?

The only option you have is to change your car kit, Nokia only do bluetooth car kits for 6500 classic. Look at Nokia ck-15w or ck-7w, your phone will work with other brands of bluetooth kits like Parrot or THB Bury.

Best car kit for a Nokia 6111.

Hi all,
Just got my 6111, and I want to get a car kit for it. I had an 8310 and used the CARK-132(?), which worked very well.
I was thinking of getting the CK-7W. As it is similar sort of style, it should save me a bit of effort with re-wiring the speaker/mic.
My main question is: with this car kit, will the Pop-port connection charge the phone?
Any other car kits particularly recomended? - I don't need anything fancy (CK-610?), just something that will allow me to easily answer and make the odd call easily, with radio mute, and as cheaply as possible. If it will automatically take the call when the ignition is switched on, that would be handy.
Thanks,
Nick.

Thanks Danny,
I'm curious as to why using a pop port connection would be a safety issue? Surely once the phone is plugged in and sat in a cubby hole, it's no different to using the kit with bluetooth?
I think I've come to the conclusion that I may as well buy any bluetooth handsfree and a separate charger. Most of the time I will not need to charge the phone in the car, but I need the facility just in case. At least with a separate charger, I will be able to use it in a different car.
I could buy a CK-1W which appears to be exacly the same as the 7W apart from the pop-port snd cheaper. Otherwise there are numerous universal handsfree kits available. Any suggestions?
Nick.

Can anyone recommend a car kit for the Nokia 6131?

I'm looking for a car kit for my 6131 and I'm a bit baffled by all of the options I've found on the internet.
All I really need is a nice neat mobile holder and a charger. The holder should not be the type that attaches to the air vents; I had one of those once before and it just made the car look untidy!
I already have access to a Jabra BT250 bluetooth earpiece so I'm assuming that if the phone is in its cradle I'll be able to use that to make and answer calls. Otherwise I don't mind buying a bluetooth car kit if it's a better option.
I noticed on another thread that someone was recommending the wireless plug in hands free HF-6W to a 6131 owner, but the phone isn't listed as compatible with that on Nokia's web site. In fact, if you look at the compatibility details for all of Nokia's car kits, the 6131 isn't listed as compatible with any of them!
Any recommendations for the best holder and charger for the 6131, or a single unit that combines both?
Thanks :-)Message Edited by pottermus on 01-Oct-2006

The only way to connect this phone to a car kit is via a bluetooth connection, the ck-7w would be suitable for this. There is no specific holder for this phone so you would need a universal holder, i suggest that you buy a specific non damaging bracket for your car to mount this on to give you the best position.

Alltel 8130 and Nissan Bluetooth Car Kit

HELP!!! New Nissan Altima with Bluetooth Car Kit. I am able to pair no problem, make and receive call without a hitch. Downloaded phone book with ease. The problem is whenever I use the phone with the car kit after I exit the car the phone locks up, keys do not respond and I have to do a battery pull to reset the phone. No problem until I use the phone in the car again (with the bluetooth kit). Any help or suggestions are appreciated. I do have the latest OS (4.5.0.89).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem Solved: I went to Alltel store and they adviced I do a manual disconnect from the phone before I turn off the car, this seemed to work so since I placed ther Bluetooth icon on the frontpage of my phone it seems to be working fine without having to manually disconnect. I do not quite understand why it works now but it does.

N80 and Motorola IHF1000 Bluetooth car kit

Hi all,
I've been unable to get my Nokia N80 to correctly pair with the standard bluetooth car kit supplied with the car. I have also downloaded the latest firmware, but this does not seem to rectify the issue.
Is there another solution instead of moving to another phone manufacturer?

I'm now with Sony Ericsson and the above post should have been my last were it not for a rather belated response to my enquiry with Nokia 'Support'. Moderators really should take note to the response that Nokia 'support' team offer as it is in their direction that the moderators will often send bemused Nokia owners who need help on this forum: - -------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr xxx Thank you for contacting Nokia Helpline. With regard to your email concerning the Nokia N80, we can advise as Nokia do not test out handste with any third party software or deivices we can not say wether they will be compatabile. Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions. With best regards UK & Ireland Team Nokia Helpline ---------------------------------------------------- It has taken the best part of 3 weeks to receive the above response which, quite frankly, offers absolutely no help whatsoever!! Quite an admission though. Just to repeat what they have said above....NOKIA do NOT test their handsets with ANY third party software or device. This leaves owners such as myself, who spec car-kits at he point of buying a new car because they prefer the integrated equipment rather than an 'add-on', completely high and dry! I still have the N80 and intend to keep it as a constant reminder NEVER to buy anything made by Nokia again. ttfn

N73 and voice dialing using Bluetooth car kit

Hi,
I have a N73 using v3.0638.0.0.01, its a vodafone phone. I have it set up with my CK-7W car kit and it works great except when I want to make a call. If I try and use voice dialling through the car kit it never finds my contact and simply say "no match found". If I put the phone directly in front of me and oice dial using the car kit it works.
Everything worked fine until the firmware was updated and I have restred my contacts from backup. The problem here is not that voice dialling isn't working, per se, but that it wont interact with the car kit since the firmware was updated.
Any ideas folks.
Chris

I have an iPhone 3G 16gig. I just bought a Kensington Liquid AUX Bluetooth Car Kit, paired everything up, and tested it out in the garage. The only downside (at that point) was that the included remote only controlled start and stop, not forward and back tracks. Later I tested it on the road and thought my ears were playing tricks on me when I heard the music changing pitch. Once I figured out it wasn't me, I changed tracks and even tried streaming radio and still, pitch up/pitch down, song faster/song slower. I noticed it got markedly worse when I tried to use another program while having the ipod play in the background, which makes me think it is a hardware issue; possibly the processor speed or "RAM" or however iPhones work. I am planning on trying it with my ipod and a bluetooth attachment I have for it to see if the music distorts. If it is the hardware on the phone, looks like apple forgot to mention as a selling point that the faster innards are needed for true A2DP stereo bluetooth! Another part of their brilliant scheme I guess!

Cannot connect to bluetooth car kit - is invisible

For some time Blackberry 8100 under OS 4.2 functioned fine with Audi bluetooth car kit.
Now with a new Blackberry 8110 under OS 4.3 the same car is not detected.
Other phones and printer can be connected to OK by bluetooth.
Wondering if the car has a problem a connection was successfully made with another phone.
Please can anyone help?
Merci.

That is sometimes the case if you want to download your contacts to the car. No problems when using it purely a handsfree.
Personally I have never had to use any software and all my N Series phones including my current N96 have always connected to car kits. Sometimes it does take a few attempts before it downloads all the contacts but that's it.

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

Bluetooth car kit connectivity issue after IOS 8.1.2 update

After the IOS 8.1.2 update I cannot connect my IPhone with the Bluetooth car kit (hands free) system of my car.
Before the update connectivity was perfect, after the IOS 8.1.2 update the car kit does not find the IPhone any longer.
To solve this issue I deleted both the car kit and the IPhone from the paired devices list of both (my car and the Iphone) and tried to pair them again - no success. The car kit just does not finds the Iphone any longer.
Please, help!!!

Just to share the way I finally solved the problem - might be helpful to somebody else.
I didn't noticed before that the IOS 8.1.2 update changed automatically the name of my Iphone from the one I've given to it before to just "Phone".
I re-named the Iphone (just gave a new name to it by going to Settings -> General -> About -> Name) and then the car kit managed to find the phone very quickly via Bluetooth.

Car kit for 6210 Navigator

I've just upgraded from a 6230i, for which I have a Cark126 car kit, to the 6210 Navigator. I can't find anything like my current car kit for the Navigator. I really wanted to just plug the phone into a cradle and have it immediately charge and connect to the car's handsfree.
What do you all think is the best way to go 'hands-free' in the car, with my new phone? My hubby says he's capable of wiring a hands-free kit if it's straightforward but that he's no car or electronics expert!

Both the CK-100 and CK-300 have a charging cable coming from the control unit.
The charging cable plugs into the bottom of the cradle and then every time you put the phone in the cradle, it will be on charge and held legally. The actual connection to the car kit itself is over wireless Bluetooth.
If your car has aux in on the stereo system then the CK-300 is the all singing, all dancing option as you can operate more controls of the phone from the control button of the car kit AND have music from the phone playing through the car stereo PLUS a 3.5mm jack that you can connect an IPod to.
However you do not have aux in, the CK-100 will give a good simple solution and still give you the wireless music option but played directly through the car speakers.
