Car kit cradle upgrade

Can I get an Upgrade cradle for Nokia N73 for an existing Car Kit HFU4, previously used with Nokia 6230i

HFU-4 is the control unit for the Cark-126 car kit and there is no Nokia cradle for the N73.
Brodit make a cradle for the N73 that connects with the Pop Port cable from the Ck-7W

I am not 100% sure but maybe this will work? Maybe you will need to swap cable? Perhaps Dannyboy can confirm this?

  • Car kit cradle-adaptor for 6230

    please can someone tell me what i need for my car kit at the moment i have a 3310 system but have bought a 6230 and need some sort of adaptor for the cradle that is in the car as it is a different plug ect can you let me know where i can buy ect

    There are some cradles available to just plug in but they are not made by Nokia and there is quality issues. I would best advise you to upgrade you car kit to a new ck-7w, so you can guarentee compatability and make full use of you 6230i features, this kit will be easily upgraded next time you change phones so is a good investment.

  • 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

  • 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
    PB

  • Car kit cradle for nokia N95

    I have just bought a new car which has a hands free car kit in it suited for a nokia 6288, my phone is a nokia N95 so it is wider than the cradle that is already fitted for the 6288 and the connection plug in the cradle from the wiring is different in it to what suits a nokia N95.
    can i just buy a new cradle that fits a nokia N95 and change the cradles over and if so what about the plug that connects to the phone from in the cradle, can you buy adaptors for these of some sort to change it to suit the N95 instead of 6288?

    Hi
    The N95 does not have a wired carkit option, only Bluetooth.You don't mention what carkit it is that is already in the car but try pairing to it by Bluetooth and that should give some type of identity.
    Cradle wise you can have one for the N95, but it will only hold and possible charge the phone.
    The Nokia CR-99 will fit but it's a generic cradle.
    There are also third party cradles for the N95 such as the Brodit branded ones.

    Hope this helps?

  • 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.

  • Tomtom car kit bluetooth not working

    I cannot get my iPhone 4S to connect to the Tomtom car kit via bluetooth.  The phone searches but does not find the car kit.

    I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the 4S. I got the adapter from TomTom for the iPhone 4. When I insert the 4S, it connects OK and the phone charges. I did the reset of the Bluetooth and the TomTom Car Kit shows up on the iPhone. But when I attempt to pair the car kit using the code 5555 (as stated in the manual), it says the code is incorrect and will not pair.
    I've also tried using 0000 as the pairing code, with no success.
    So far, TomTom support has been very pleasant but ineffective in providing answers.
    Are other people having the same issue? Please respond if so.
    Has anyone been able to pair the car kit to an iPhone 4S? If so, PLEASE tell me how you did it?

  • How do I use attach a cradle tomy car kit & which ...

    I've bought a car that's got a car kit built in but no cradle,the description says GSM/CK/NOK6110-NOKIA 5110/6110/6210/6310/7110 GSM CKIT.
    What cradle would I need to get?
    How would I attach it? and are there any new phones that would be compatible?
    Is the 6110 the same as the 6110 Navigator and if so would that be like Sat Nav?
    Sorry to bombard you with these questions but I've never had a car kit before.

    There are Thunderbolt adapters you can use for the type of video port on your MB:
    Display
    1 - Mini-DVI (VGA, Composite and S-video with adapter)
    But you may need to upgrade its OS X version at least to Snow Leopard.

  • Upgrading a Car Kit from Nokia 6310i to Nokia 6680

    I drive a Mercedes E320 which has a fitted car kit which takes a Nokia 6310i in a cradle. This works very well and is integrated to the car radio etc, it is not a Mercedes kit as it does not integrate to the Mercedes Command System (i.e. I can not push the button on the steering wheel to answer calls etc). I think it is Nokia Car Kit but I can not be sure as it is hidden under stacks of plastic and leather and it will be a devil of a job just to find the box.
    Last year I upgraded to a Nokia 6680 (my trusty 6310i having decided to retire) and given the law on use of phone in cars I thought it about time I put a new car kit in the Merc, (I cant do with things in my ears, so headsets are out of the question). I have bought a CK-7W and the cradle for the 6680 but as it is going to be a difficult job to locate and replace the whole system (or expensive if I have the dealer do it) the question I want to ask is simple. Is it possible to just CUT the cables between the different cradles and thereby join the new 6680 cradle to the existing 6310i car kit, (I am quite proficient with a soldering iron and heat shrink tubing). OK, I know this is a bit Heath Robinson but if it will work then it will save me a whole load of time and inconvenience, or a whole stash of money as I don’t relish the thought of ripping out a Mercedes dashboard just to find the car kit
    If it is possible does anyone know the cable colours (if they are not the same, between 6310i and 6680).
    Thanks
    David

    Hi
    The new cradle (CA27) will not work with the old car kit (assuming its the CARK-91).
    But If you can locate the CARK-91 control box behind the dash (my guess is that it will be near the radio of behind the glove box), there is no need for cutting/ joining of wires.
    Autoleads make an adaptor from the old Nokia 6-pin to the new 4-pin connector.
    Its simply then a case of replacing the phone cradle, replacing the control box with CK-7W, swapping the other connectors (mic, speaker), plugging in the converter, and away you go.
    Search for "06-208B Autoleads Adaptors" in Google for the converter (be careful - there is another adaptor that is 4-pin to 6-pin

  • Car Charger / Cradle Kit for 6085

    Have had a 6010 cradle / charger/in car..replaced phone with a 6085. The lead in the carfrom the 6010 install works for the 6085 direct. I enquired on purchase for a similar kit and told none made ? Have had to purchase a CR39 cradle and plug the lead into the phone befor putting into new cradle.
    This seems bizarre. Help please.

  • N73/Brodit cradle & cable for car kit

    Can you please offer any assistance? I have a full Nokia car kit with interchangable cradle (not Bluetooth, model unknown) which was purchased 2nd hand for a 6230i. I have now upgraded to N73 & need to modify the car kit. The existing pop port lead works OK with the N73, so I have bought a Brodit cradle, but the lead does not fit the recess in the cradle, so bought a CA-27 cable as advised by the Brodit info. The CA-27 fits my control box but on testing with a meter, is wired different to the original lead & doesn't work with the phone. Is there any tech information available online on pin-outs for the cable etc., or would a Nokia CK-7 advanced control box work with this phone & CA-27 cable? Rewiring the cable wouldn't be a problem if I had the info - I used to repair Laptops to component level. Also, I don't really want to replace whole kit again (3rd time!) & don't want to go totally bluetooth. Any information would be much appreciated! Dave.

    Thanks confiture & Danny B for your responses - I was aware that the CA-27 was intended for the CK-7W advanced. Since the existing cable from the kit works with the phone, I was hoping to find some pin-out info to modify the CA-27. We are thinking of emigrating this year & I have had to buy the N73 for cash to avoid extending contracts, so had hoped to sort the car kit problem as cheap as I could. Unless someone comes up with an alternative idea, there must be a way of modifying the CA-27 to the same pin connections as the existing cable, which as I said, works "straight up the **bleep**" of the N73! Would buy a CK-7W box, but a mate who used to work in the trade says they are prone to going wrong, and a 2nd user one (ebay etc.) may be a duff one.

  • E50-2 s/w upgrade causes bluetooth car kit malfunc...

    Newbie here...have a BMW 5 series, which paired seamlessly with the E50 when I got it. Then performed upgrade to phone. I paired it again with car kit, whilst recognised, and show's dialling/incoming calls on screen - the car no longer re-routes the call via the car, I have to pick up the handset! I only performed the u/g to see if I could speed the phone up which was maddeningly slower than my trusty old 6310i... ;-) Any suggestions guys??

  • Upgrade a Nokia 6310i car kit to a new Nokia?

    I bought a car with a car kit installed which fitted a Nolia 6310i. I then bought a CARK 91 kit so I could use my Nokia 3410. I want to upgrade my phone to something like a N96 or even a Samsung or Sony Ericsson, however do I need to have my car kit taken out and a new one installed, or can they just replace the handset holder?

    The cark-91 is not upgradeable to work with any of the phones you listed, As Okinawa has mentioned above, click the link to view all the new Nokia car kits, there new kits will work with any of the phones you have listed.

    Hi, i recently bought a volvo c70 2000 'X' reg which has the in car 6310i phone cradle and mic etc which all works through my car stereo.
