Can't connect or reset Nokia 616 car kit

I've just bought a used car which has Nokia 616 Car kit fitted. I can't connect as either user and I can't get to the infamous standby screen to get into the menu to do a reset of the settings. I've tried holding down the "hang up" button to get to the screen but nothing.
I really would like to get this piece of kit working as I will find it very useful.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks
Ant

Not sure myself, but tyr disconnecting the power from the kit as I think that will reset it.
If not go into the bluetooth menu of the kit and reset it
Please see the attached link with the instruction book

Connection lost between Nokia 616 Car Kit and a No...

I recently upgraded from a Nokia 9300 to an E71, but retained my Nokia 616 Car Kit. The Nokia website confirms that the E71 and 616 are compatible. My E71 has been paired with the 616 and configured as User 1 in remote SIM mode. The E71 Bluetooth settings have been set up so that it will connect automatically, without asking authorisation every time.
The E71 connects to the car kit without a problem, when the car is started, but often looses the connection during the trip. The 616 will then display “Connection Lost”, followed by the request “Reconnect to User 1?”. Strangely the black “User 1” phone icon is still displayed in the top right-hand corner of the 616 display. When I push the Navi Wheel it attempts to reconnect, but every time it comes back with the message “User 1 Not Found”, despite the fact that the phone has not been moved and is still less than 1m from the 616 controller. I can only reconnect after the vehicle had been switched off and restarted, i.e. when the 616 reboots.
Why does it frequently loose connection? A number of times I have noticed that it looses connection when I drive through an area with no or a very weak cell phone signal. I don’t think the cell phone signal strength should have an effect on the Bluetooth connection between phone and car kit.
Why won’t it re-connect? I can’t stop and switch off the car every time the connection is lost!
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, I have bought a car with this equipment and I have the same problem.
I tried following:
PAIRING:
- first from the phone discover Bluetooth accessories - it will find the N616
- enter the code to the phone
- N616 ask for the same code as you enter to the phone - enter it
After this, the phone is paired, but not connected.
CONNECTING:
- then set up Bluetooth in the phone as visible
- try connect (as user 1 or user 2) from N616 to the phone - you do not need to specify which phone has N616 to find - it will find your phone if it is visible (one step before)
- if everything is OK, your phone is connected
- you can access the menu, reset N616 to factory settings - but you need to make all steps again
This list works for me, any other steps not...

N8 with Nokia 616 car kit

Advice anyone? I'm pretty sold on getting an N8, due to the fact that Nokia seem to build a robust phone that gets better reception than most others when used as a phone. The only real issue at the moment seems to be that it will not be compatible with my nokia 616 car kit (possibly the best car kit ever made, and still being sold today). Does anybody know if there will be an upgrade to get around this issue or, any other solution? I gather that it's possible to get other makes of 'smartphones' with BT3 to connect and work with the 616... so why can't the N8, especially seeing as they both have NOKIA stamped on them??

I do not have N8, i have N97mini... but i have that carkit.
My findings are that with E71 and N97mini there was trouble involved. You can pair, you need a special software on E71 to get the contacts downloaded, and both do loose connection after a while.
Sometimes there is no connection at all, and then you have to switch off and on the bluetooth on the phone to get it working again.
E71 then was obviously fixed with new firmware. Bluetooth was stable after the update. On N97mini i am still waiting for some improvement.
Did also monitor car-bluetooth topics in this board. There are several users complaining, that their devices did work with very old mobiles, but not with the newer ones.

Can not connect to the nokia music centre!!

I am very frustrated, i bought the 5310 so i could get the unlimited music and now when i have downloaded the nokia music centre i am told that there is an issue and i can not connect to the nokia music centre!
Also very annoying is who to call - i bought the phone from carphone warehouse but it is on orange contract however nokia brand ...... who is responsible or can give me assistance re the nokia music centre and issues?
So I have called nokia and they tell me that they have an issue!
Is everybody having this issue or is it just new accounts?
Possibly it has something to do with the new download available which allows some to break through the restrictions re copying and sharing? I have not done this - as i can not even login yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem and its really annoying im fed up with Nokia telling me they have an issue...ill give them an issue
Do they clearly not understand that they are losing future customers by not fixing the problem that i reported a week ago and was told that someone would contact me back and i still havent heard anything and that i have another 2 months to try and log on and register my pin they gave me to download music and im losing faith that this problem will not be resolved any time soon
If anyone gets any further or can fix this please let me kno
A very angry customer!!!!

E50 & 616 Car Kit - Messages unavailable

I have an E50 paired with a 616 car kit using the Sim Access Profile and it works well.
All the contacts come over, the 'proper' recorded voice tags work and the signal is much improved by using the external aerial.
But .....
If I receive a message whilst connected, once I 'return' back to the phone, the Messages menus are nolonger available.
In order to send or receive messages, I must switch the phone off and back on again - then everything is as it should be.
I have the latest firmware in the E50 - any ideas ?
Regards
JonP

Hi
I ahve posted before on my extreme frustration with Nokia and the E50. As a replacement for a 6230i (I think) it was nothing but a relentless waste of my time as I tried to get the phone to do the most basic things-like show the phone book through the MMi system (Audi A6)
Eventually I went to local retailer (our business contract supplier also useless) and tried to pair up a W880 add a K810i. Both pair but do not display any info-though the 810i did show the signal strength indicator once.
Imagine my reluctance then when a 6300 did what was asked.
It has not been used in earnest yet but it does seem to work. My dreams of leaving nokia behind forever cruelly shattered. This conspiracy to change standards and leave long term customers in the lurch is wrong and bad business. Maybe when I change my car...

N95 drops connectiohn to 616 car kit

Hi
I've had a 616 car kit working reasonabley well with my N80 in sim access mode for almost a year - it occasionally lost connection and I had to restart the car kit to re-establish the connection. I've had an N95 for 2 days and both days within about 5 minutes of connecting the car kit shows lost connection with N95 and the phone has no signal indicator there is just the 3G at the bottom. It does show it is in remote sim mode. The only way to get it working is to switch off and restart the phone.
Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
Andy

Just to add weight to this thread I have the same problem, reliable operation with N80, but my N85 sometimes gets into a state where the phone is stuck halfway into remote SIM mode and the 616 cannot connect.
I have to turn off the car kit, turn off the phone, turn the phone back on, then finally reboot the car kit and it usually, but not always, comes abck up.
This often seems to happen when I have had the car unlocked, but the ignition not on, so the car kit may have tried to start but not fully, though this could be coincidence, would love to hear if anyone finds a solution for this!!

Nokia 610 car kit and Nokia 6500 Classic phone

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems connecting a Nokia 6500 Classic to a Nokia 610 car kit. The handset won't remember the pairing and I have to enter the 16 digit passkey every time I start up the car, even althouth the "remember pairing" feature is activated. Other models of Nokia handsets connect fine

I have managed to download the contacts with the N95 by installing the "download Contacts" application on the N95.
You HAVE to make sure that the paring between the two phones is deleated, then that the "download contacts" app is running on the N95 before assigning the SIM again from the 610, entering the passcode and then choose YES to the questian "Download contacts?"
The only problem is then that the contacts display as Lastname/firstname as opposed to firstname/lastname which is my preference and I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to change this. Still I cant have everything I suppose. At least its keeping the pairing without having to enter the passcode everytime which is still the case with the 6500.
Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this passcode problem? Or been able to display the contacts downloaded from an N95 as firstname/lastname?
best regards.

E60 with 616 car kit

I am trying to pair the E60 phone with the 616 car kit in sim access mode. The phone and car kit go through the pairing process and generate the 16 digit code. The pairing completes on the phone but then the car kit requests a further pin code. Whatever code is then input is incorrect.
Has anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong.
I have successfully paired a 6230i in this way but with the E60 I can only get it to pair in handsfree mode and not sim access mode.

The pin its asking for is your sim card pin number as the 616 car kit takes over as the phone so it needs the pin to access the sim card correctly. Same as if you stick your sim card in another phone. See page 20 of the user manualMessage Edited by krytens4000 on 06-Oct-2006

E65 + Nokia 610 car Kit ?

Hi all,
I currently have a 6230i and a nokia 610 car kit, all works fine most of the time.
I plan to get a E65, but I want to be 100% sure it is compatible with car kiy 610.
On this forum I only found 1 topic stating there is a bug in downloading contacts, wich seems to be confirmed over the internet.
QUESTIONS :
- Is there an official answer from Nokia ? or do they just let us test and find out on our own ?
- did anyone already had both working together with no problem ?
Thanks for your answers ;-)

Nokia 616 car phone with E51

Hi,
So I have the Nokia 616 bluetooth car phone, I had the E50 and it worked fine, but ever since I got the E51 it never picks up a network when I connect. I manage to connect and download my contacts, my phone goes into remote sim mode as it should but anytime I try and make a call there's no network and it tells me "no network coverage" any ideas?

I think you need to head over to the Forum Nokia Site.

Nokia 8800 car kit connection

I have recently bought a car that came with a standard car kit, i think it is the most popular business kit, the CK-7W. This fits all recent models of nokia pone accept the 8800 and maybe a few others, i was wondering if there is a connection i can get to connect my 8800 to this kit, i am currently using a Nokia PPH-1 car kit that plugs into the cigarette lighter port but this is poor quality and a phone of this quality should surely have some sort of connection available. Can anybody advise me of this...
Thanks!

the Nokia 8800 should work with a ck-7w, you may have to reset the memory to make room for new connections. Press and hold Nokia button on dash till it bleeps, if this dont work find the brain box and unplug, it may need a power reset.

I updated Nokia Suite with the new version 3.4.49 recently and after that I am not able to install any app from Nokia Ovi store. Whenever I click "Download via PC", the Nokia Suite gives the error "Can't connect to service".

NokiaSuiteError.png ‏11 KB

Copied from a member of the Nokia Developer Team. It worked for me.
"This problem can be also because of expired certificates that you have on your computer.
To remove the problematic certificates, do the following:
On your computer, open Control Panel and click Internet Options.
In the Internet Properties window, select the Content tab, and click Certificates.
In the Certificates window, select the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab.
To sort the certificates, click the Expiration Date column header.
Select any GTE CyberTrust certificates that have their expiration date in the past. You should be left with one GTE CyberTrust certificate that is valid.
Click Remove and, when asked for confirmation, click Yes.
After the expired certificates have been removed, please restart Nokia Suite and try signing into your Nokia account again"
Good luck!

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....
