Best car kit for n73

I have just got my N73 and like it a lot - bit slow but thats no great issue.
My problem is finding a decent suitable car kit
1) I already had the parrot 3100 (could not download contacts)
2) Then bought a ck-610 works great but when receive a text the car-610 resets and the text stays on the ck-610
3) Upgraded to a ck-616 now i cannot get contacts or text messages to receive.
4)So now I am toying with a ck-7w but that says issues
ck-15w does not show battery and network etc (whats point of the screen then)
5)and now a ck-20w but does not do something i cannot remember
Trouble is I upgraded my contract for 12 months to get this phone as its suppose to be compat with carkits and yet it aint
So just what do I do for a car kit, I spoke to nokia whom have said all 3 carkits are compatible yet when i buy them and install them and find out it does not nokia say "oh ys that is a known problem"
You try getting a refund when you've had the car kit installed.
any help or advice would be grateful please

Hi skyline_olyn,
I have N73 and I am thinking of buying CK-20W carkit+LD2 navigation pack. I read that there were some compatibility issues with N73 & CK-20W+LD2. From what I found out, the CK-20W works perfectly well with N73, until you start using LD2 for navigation. It sounds like everything works fine with your N73, despite the fact that on NOKIA Europe website, N73 is marked as not compatible wih LD2 nav pack. Does this mean that you are able to make/receive calls whilst navigating without phone hanging up, losing GPS signal etc? I would be grateful if you could confirm that you are using LD2 for navigating. Can you also tell me what firmware version you have installed on your N73?

  • 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.

  • Car kit for N73

    I have a Motorola bluetooth car kit which worked perfectly with my motorola phone, but I have real problems using it with my N73. I have to connect it manually ever time I get in the car and even then it doesn't work sometimes.
    Can anyone recommend a bluetooth car kit that definitely works with the N73. I don't want to buy another one only to find it won't work either. From what I've read, the N73 can be fussy when it comes to bluetooth.
    Thanks.

    You might be better off asking this question on the accessories board - there may even be an answer on there already.

  • What is the best car kit for 3g transmission and charging

    give some options - what is out there?

    Not really good idea. It's temporary usage, and instead of RAMDisk I suggest you buy SSD of SATA III or M.2 depending on what motherboard you have. Go for 16Gb, and buy 120Gb SSD, it will be more efficient. Also you won't get much difference between starting game like Battlefield 4 on SSD and RAMDisk.
    Or buy 2x60Gb SSD, 1 for OS and 1 for apps so OS drivers doesn't mix together with games etc.

  • 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.

  • Best car kit/FM transmitter out there

    I've finally gotten myself a 8GB Ipod nano. I travel in my car a lot and would like to play my music library in the car. What is the best car kit/FM transmitter on the market for a reasonable price??? I've seen some go for over $100, but I don't want to have to pay this much. I would have to go through the lighter as I don't have an aux. plug-in to my stereo. Thanks.

    I think you shouldn't buy a Griffin transmitter made especially for iPod. Rather go to your nearest electronic store and buy something that sends music via your headphone plug-in. The price can go under 20 bucks!
    There might me some people out there who disagree with me, but this is just my opinion.

  • Best car kit

    I'm about to buy an E51 phone and would be grateful for advice about the best car kit to go with it. The main choices appear to be the CK-7W, CK-15W and CK-20W.
    The features that are most important to me are:
    - Call quality including noise suppression
    - Ease of use when driving
    - Integration with car stereo especially mute finction and preferably using existing speakers
    - Ability to charge phone in attached cradle
    The ability to plug an external audio player into the 20W via 8mm headphone plug sounds useful - how good is the sound quality?
    Sorry if this is a newbie question - I'm happy to be directed to previous discussions but couldn't find much by searching the forum.

    Thanks Danny,

  • 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.

  • Best Car Dock for Touch

    I been thinking about getting the adapter for my car stereo so I can use my head unit to control my iPod. The problem is that it's just a cable with no dock or place to hold the Touch. What is the best car dock for the touch?

    i bought this for both my parents cars. it works and you can use it for more then just an ipod, i had to put some mounting tape on it though, the stuff it comes with is crap.

  • 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.

  • Converting car kit for 6210 for use with N73

    I have a Saab 93 with Nokia issued 6210 car kit fitted at garage at delivery. Plays through speakers etc. I now have an N73 - is it possible to convert or add something to the original car kit to use the functionality with the new phone?
    Thanks

    We have a Nokia CarK-91 in the car with a simple pop-port adapter in the original cradle. It works without too much problems. We bought the adapter to use a 6230i in the CarK-91 cradle.
    The N73 is wider then the 6230i so I had to cut away the sides of the adapter. There are also 2 plastic pins next to the pop-port itself that I had to cut off by 3 mm.
    But now we can use the N73, the 6230i and the 6310i in the same carkit. The only thing is that you need to be cautious when clicking in the 6230i as there are no guidance pins anymore.
    There are reports that the same setup doesn't work. It seems that it has to do with the firmware of the headunit of the CarK-91 (above K series works) and the maker of the pop-port adapter (I don't know the brand. Bought the adapter at Halfords in the Netherlands 2 years ago).

  • 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.
