E51&Voice commands&Ford Car Kit

Hello everyone,
I just added navigation to my E51. As soon as I enter the car it connects to the inbuilt bluetooth car kit of my 2006 Ford Focus. If I start the navigation, I can't hear any voice commands. If I switch the radio and consequently the bluetooth kit off, I hear them through the phone speaker. I suppose, that they are supposed to be broadcasted through the bluetooth connection which would be great, but it doesn't work. Is there any possibility to change the output device or to support the bluetooth set of the Ford?
Best regards
Karsten

have the same problem with my N95 and supertooth have to go in and physically disconnect my bluetooth in tools when i leave the car even if I turn the supertooth off. otherwise cannot send or receive calls. ok when you remember.

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

E51 Contacts transfer to car kit via Bluetooth

If you have an E51 and have problems with transfer of contacts or call lists to a car kit via Bluetooth, please read this post:

Hope it helps.

You must have all your contacts on the simcard. Try copying all the contacts on to the simcard and then see what happens.

E51 - Voice Commands Freezes (hangs up) the phone

Each time I use the voice command by pressing the middle button on the right, the phone freezes, and essentially reboots itself. I can get the prompt "Speak Now," but if I give a command, the phone freezes. If I don't say anything, it comes back with "No Match Found," but the phone continues to work in this case.
I have rebooted, removed the battery, etc., but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've just fixed a similar, but not identical, problem on my N95 . This fix is quick and easy and doesn't need a firmware install, hard reset or rebuild. Here's what I posted to another forum - try it if resetting voice adaptations alone doesn't work:
Managed to figure out how to fix this on my N95 with a bit of research and tinkering...
First, select Tools / Utilities / Voice Comm. / Settings / Remove voice adapts. Then selectTools / Settings / General / Personalisation / Language / Phone Language and set it to another language. You'll be asked to restart the phone. Once restarted, remove the voice adaptations again. Now change the language back to your own and restart again. Then reset the voice adaptations again. Now try the voice command button again - it should work. I think the resetting voice adaptations bit may be unnecessary, but definitely the language change is what sorted it for me.
Failing this, try turning off the voice synthesiser in voice command settings. It will still take voice commands but won't read stuff out.
Pleased I fixed something for once, without the need for a hard reset and rebuild.

Ford 2007 car kit

Hello,
I have a Ford Focus with the original Ford car kit (Bluetooth, cradle and Voice Control), and have some questions.
1st - intermittently, the phone can't connect with the car kit using BT. The solution is to remove the fuse to reset the system or use the ear set and wait for the system to be back! Is there anything I can do to solve the problem?
2nd - I have a N73 phone and would like to know if there is any way to have the name of the person that is calling me in the radio display instead of the number?
Thank you,
Miguel

Ford issued a tech info regarding connectivity problems with some specific handsets. These include:
No connection, or unstable connection with many handsets: this can be solved with a software update of the Nokia OEM Ford BT system, performed using the Ford diagnostic tools. Please note that the latest firmware is available ONLY for the latest diagnostic system IDS (qualified repair shops will have the right equipment).
No Dialing: this affects mainly numbers beginning with "0". It should not affect numbers stored with the int'l area code (+49...+39...). Can be solved with the software update.
No connection to SonyEricsson SE K800i, Samsing SGH-A990 and Motorola Razr V3
Empty or Missing dialed/received calls list on Nokia N series handsets. Only "last call redial" is available.
Keep in mind that...
_full phonebook access is not possible unless the specific Ford CarKit software is not installed on the phone. This software is not currently available for Symbian S60 3rd edition
_SIM phonebook access is NOT available for most phones. IT IS available for Nokia S40 Platform
_dialed / Received calls log is not supported on most SonyEricsson and RIM Blackberry phones. Phonebook access is also limited to 300 entries.
I'm going to test the update feature as soon as possible on an older unit to see how the unit performs with Nokia N73 handsets.

Will a voice dialing car kit feature work with iphone 3g?

I am a new iphone user, and I know it doesn't have voice dialing, but I can't figure out if I can get around this by buying a car kit that offers voice dialing (e.g. parrot or motorola). Does this feature on the car kit require that the phone do voice dialing itself, or does it stand alone?
Or ... any chance of an app being developed/released to allow voice dialing on the iphone directly?
Thanks.

Tried it. It works, but isn't a perfect solution. Here's the direct link to the app.
There's a brief one-time initialization. With the app active, you need to press and hold a large icon while you speak. It searches, finds the contact, and presents you with a list of 4 possible numbers (main, home, work, mobile). Even if you have only one type of number (e.g. just the mobile number), you get all 4 buttons (the others just say 'not available') and have to press the button to make the call. It only works via the built-in mic, not bluetooth.
So, assuming you have the app open when you start driving, you'd need to press-and-hold while you speak, then locate and press the number choice. That's two looks at the screen, and that assumes it gets the name right (it did a pretty good job in my testing, missed one, and the "next name" button is pretty small. Easier than scrolling through contacts, though.
IMHO, a better bet for frequently called numbers is a Utility like Speed Dial, definitely worth the 99¢.

Note 3 won't answer a call by using the "answer" voice command. Other voice commands work fine (ie 'volume up') and speech to text works fine. Tried it in the car and in a quiet room at home. What am I missing?

Rodilator,
We'll figure this out together! Can you please walk us through the exact steps you're taking to answer a call when it comes in?

E51 muting car kit in silent mode upon receiving S...

Hi,
I've recently changed my 6230i to an E51 and have a new problem when using it with the CK-7W car kit connected via bluetooth. I have no sounds associated for receiving an SMS but it keeps muting the car radio for the action - just for a second but it's really annoying. It works ok for calls but I can not stop it from muting the radio for something that should not make a sound. It used to work great with 6230i. Any ideas?

Just a shot in the dark. Is your phone setup with Vibrating Alert set to on? Maybe the act of vibrating is causing it to dim the audio?

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!

Ford factory fitted Car kit - obselete!

My Car (Ford Focus 21 months old) has a factory fitted Bluetooth car kit with a cradle that provides charging and connection to an external antenna. The cradle (and base unit) is nicely intergrated into the design of the arm rest and central console between the front seats (which is why I specified it). The cradle, which can be replaced, is a Nokia CR-24 designed for a Nokia 6230i. I have a new phone, a Nokia 6233 but I cannot get a replacement cradle (apparently the system is obsolete).
I am currently using a charger which plugs into the cigarette lighter - I would like a tidier solution.
Can anybody help?
1. Is there a third party cradle that will fit into the base unit?
2. Is there an adapter cable that can be plugged into the base unit or the cradle to provide a connection to the 6233 for charging and antenna connection?
3. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Holder CR-56 is specially designed for the 6233 (http://shop.nokia.co.uk/nokia-uk/product.aspx?sku=3607484&culture=en-GB) and is still available.

Advice on Navigation Car Kits

Hi All,
i'd like to hear from you that have seen or used both the Magellan & TomTom Car Kits Please.
Are they much the same or is one far better unit than the other?
I guess all i'd like it to do is be able to charge the battery, have a good speaker & good GPS signal.
I can't really think of any other feature i may need? never having a GPS before
The iTunes App that'll be used i have yet to buy but i'm guessing it'll be the MetroView Australia
it seems good value at $25:00, the TomTom is at $80: the Navigon is at $90: ATM.
So the MVA is a no brainer if u live in the land of Oz that is.

I've owned the Magellan kit and played with the TomTom kit and the TomTom kit is definitely superior. My biggest complaint with the Magellan was the built in speaker didn't shut off automatically when you had the cradle connected to an aux jack. You had to turn the sound down on the speaker with a very tiny dial on the side of the unit. The TomTom is a much more intelligent unit in this regard.
I also didn't like the fact that on the Magellan the button to answer the speakerphone was on the backside of the unit and was difficult to locate when you were driving which pretty much negated the advantages of "hands free" for your car. A plus for the Magellan though is that if you have a case on your phone it is adjustable to fit. It's pretty clever the way they handle that. The TomTom kit is designed for a bare phone. The hands free on the TomTom kit works via bluetooth and is definitely better quality.
You don't mention if you have a 3 series or 4 series phone. If you have an iPhone 4 you'll have a problem with the TomTom but I believe they just released a (free?) adaptor for it that will work with the new phone. Other folks on the web had also come up with their own fixes for that as well. The TomTom comes with a windshield mount but I believe ProClip is selling a custom TomTom kit with a standard 4 hole mount plate in case you already have a mounting system in your vehicle. www.proclipusa.com for info.
Personally, I don't think either one is a necessary solution. The GPS in my iPhone 3GS was good enough on its own and the GPS in my iPhone4 is excellent. I'm using a Blueant S4 hands free unit on the visor which is working perfectly and is 100% hands free with total voice command operation with a 3GS or 4. I went with an adjustable Cradle from ProClip for my iPhone 4 that has a passthrough connector and I've attached a cable to the cradle that includes a USB charger plugged into a lighter socket adaptor and a stereo connector plugged into the aux jack on my car stereo. Incoming calls automatically shut down the sound to the radio and route the call out to the bluetooth. The Blueant S4 supports A2DP audio over bluetooth so you can hear your turn-by-turn GPS commands via the Blueant or over the car stereo via Aux input in my case.
Hope that helps you out!
James
P.S. The iphone dock cable that gives you usb and audio out via mini-din jack can be found on ebay.

E60 car kit bugs

When connected to the CK7W the E60 does not select car profile, nor does the control button End/Snd work.
Also, as there is no separate car profile the kit uses the ring tone level set when used as a mobile and is deafeningly loud.
When an SMS is received the alert tone is painfully loud.
When is there going to be support for car profile on the E60 ?

I don't have any trouble with the car kit profile on my E60 (before or after the latest firmware update).
I created a new profile you can set your tones, volumes, etc and call it "car kit". Then under Setting>Connections>Enhancement>Car Kit I selected the new "car kit" profile and set light to "on". My phone properly switches to the car kit profile when I insert it into the CR-26 holder and the light stays on like it should.
BUT, I agree that the remote button does not work. It will not initiate the Voice Command function to dial or do anything other than control the volume. All the functions work properly with Bluetooth but not when in the cradle...

Power Functions of Car Kit CK-7W with a wired Pop-...

Hi,
Just a general query regarding the use of the Car Kit CK-7W in conjunction with the connector cable and a compatible cradle.
Will this sort of set up allow the use of features such as keeping the lights on all the time?
Can you use automatic answer?

carsound -- since you have installed so many of the CK-7W kits perhaps you can help answer a question that seems to be on the mind of many Nokia users that are having a similar problem to mine...
With the CK-7W and current model Nokia phone (mine is an E60) in a Nokia cradle (mine is a CR-26) is the functionality different than when using bluetooth? More specifically, the CK-7W supports everything the manual says, like voice tag dialing using the remote button, when in bluetooth mode but when it is in the cradle the remote only adjusts the volume and only gives a short beep when pushed. It doesn't activate voice commands or give any indication on the phone anything is happening. Just sits there. Is this consistent with your experience? Have you seen the voice tag feature work when the phone is in a cradle?
I can't get an answer if this is by design, a faulty unit or a firmware issue with my phone. In all my web searches it does seem to be an issue for many others (with other phone models).
Thanks for any insights

Bluetooth Intermittent Connectivity to Mobil-Ease Car Kit

My iphone 3GS constantly becomes disconnected from my car's Mobil-Ease. Usually it happens when I try to make a call using the voice commands of my Mobil-Ease. After commanding it to dial a specific number, the iphone starts calling the number, but disconnects from the bluetooth, and the person answering is left saying 'hello? hello?'
When this happens, I turn off the iphone's BT or "Forget the Device" and then reconnect, only for callers to sounds all garbled on my end.
Lastly, whenever I try to make a call using the iphone, I often then can't get the iphone to connect to the bluetooth. I can click on "Mobil-Ease" in the devices several times and it just won't connect.
I never had this problem when I had a 3G, only happened when I upgraded to 3GS.

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.

IPod touch Microsoft Sync voice command help

After updating my iPod Touch to iOS5, when I connect my iPod to the Microsoft Sync system in my car, it says "voice commands are not supported with this device." I did not have this problem prior to updating the software. Is there any way to remedy this?

Have you contact the car system manufacturer (Ford I think)? Maybe they have suggestions or maybe there is a firmware update for the car system.
Sometimes this works
Try:
- Reset the car system
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Sometimes an iOS update just breaks compatibility. If that is the casa and assuming you have a 3g iPod, you will have to wait for a firmware update to the car system, By now I would expect a car firmware update is already available it that was the cause.
