E66 Message reader & In-car kit

I have recently bought the E66 and when using it in my car it is auto sync'd to the stereo by bluetooth, so I can take phonecalls through the stereo.
However when doing this if I attempt to use the Message Reader to read the mss or emails it is silent, once unsync'd with the stereo it plays aloud again. Similarly the tones for incoming emails and mss don't sound.
Is there a software fix for this because I'm assuming that the message reader was designed to be used whilst driving?
Any help greatfully received!

Bluetooth and car kit

Hi, I have aproblem with the iPhone Bluetooth. The car systesn is able to recognize the iPhone and viceversa, then the car system asks to dial a passkey both on the car (easy) and on the iPhone: here I have the problemn sicne I don't know what to do, since no keyboard is available on the iPhone part regarding bkettooth: just if it is active and if it is able to find a device. So at he end nothing happens and the abilition of the is always "failed". What can I do?
Thanks a lot

Use the iPhone to 'find' and set up the car kit rather than the other way around (using your car to find and set up the iPhone). Go to settings, then general, then bluetooth - the phone will search for and [hopefully] find our car kit (you'll need to read your car kits manual and set your car kit in discoverable mode), then touch the car kit and the iPhone's 'keyboard' will appear asking for your car kit's pass code. Key that in and presto... done...

E66 with Audi SAP Bluetooth Car Kit

Hi
I've been using my E66 with my Audi A6 SAP car kit for two weeks now. Unlike my E51 which works fine the E66 connects ok then after about 1 or 2 minutes disconnects. After another 30 seconds or so it reconnects to the car kit. It seems that if I make or receive a call during the first minute then the E66 will remain connected. If I don't it will enter the disconnect / connect cycle.
Is anybody else having the same problem?
Cheers
James

The generic problem you have with Car Kits made for Car Manufacturers and phones is that both companies are very inclined not to talk to one another, and when you try and find out why its failing each will blame each other.
The problem may quite probably be resolved by a software update, either in the phone or the car.
You can check the Nokia site to see if an update is available for your phone.
The Audi update will have to be done by your local Audi Centre, which can be tricky to do to say the least, because they tend to stall, and give a self-righteous attitude towards the customer trying to tell them how it is.
I'd check with a few local Audi Centres.
The list of compatible handsets, is always out of date, and you get phones like the 6230 etc they dont really pay much attention to it.
I found that my S3 kit which is not SAP, would disconnect when my phone left the range of my WLAN, sometimes if I restarted the phone before I got it, it wouldn't disconnect at all.
I don't get it at all with my E71.

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

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...

Nokia Car Kit compatibility

I have just updated from a 6610i to a 6230i and was told by my service provider that the new phone was comatible with my 12 month old car kit.
When I received the new phone I had the error message "enhancement not supported" when I phoned my service provider I was informed that a CA55 cable would do the trick. I contacted Nokia before buying the cable and was told this cable would not work, in fact there was not any other phone that would work with the phone kit I have. I feel a bit agreived that the car kit is now rendered useless, having had it for only 12 months.
Check with the phone provider about compatibility before changing your phone rather than rely on your service providers information.....

I assumed, but shouldn't have, that because I had the kit fitted at a reputable auto electricians, that because the phone holster was a Nokia that the rest of the kit would also be Nokia. When I removed the main box of the kit I found that it was not a Nokia part. I have now got a proper Nokia kit and this works fine, although not bluetooth I got it at a good price, so it should be good for 12 months till my next upgrade. Next time I'll not assume!!!!

6310i car kit

Hi
Am just in the process of swapping cars and would like to take my car kit with me - the current car is being scrapped so can pull out the wires if needs be.
Love my 6310 and refuse to go to Bluetooth so if anyone has any ideas about where I can get additional wires and an installation guide for this car kit I would be most grateful.
Dannyboy - hope you might have the answer judging by your experience?!

/discussions/board/message?board.id=accessories&thread.id=101
I discussed wiring diagram on the above earlier thred, If you remove everything carefully you should not need any more parts, you may want to contact a local cellular engineer to do the job, it may be quicker and safer also he will have any extra parts you may need.
Good Luck.

IOS 4.2.1 messed up my TomTom Car Kit

I have been using a TomTom Car Kit for my iPhone 4 a couple of weeks now. And it has been working great. But after updating iOS to 4.2.1 yesterday the phone keeps on giving me the following message.
"This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone"
"You may experience noise caused by cellurar interference and decrease in cellular signal strenght"
"Dismiss"
So; Every time i insert my iPhone in the Car Kit i have to "dismiss" the message.
It's not the worst of happenings and i can live with it; but is there a fix for this error other than downgrade my iPhone to the previois version if iOS (if possible).

It seems like it was a coincidence. My friend got the same problem with an iPhone 4 and the TomTom Car Kit; and it was not iOS / iPhone- related at all. Don't know why it happened but i am suspecting the sudden drop of temperature.
This fixed the problem for both of us:
Between the Car Kit and the iPhone 4 there are (or at least should be) an adapter that pushes the phone against the contacts. We both added three layers of ordinary- black electrical tape on the adapter. Making the preassure a litle bitt higher.
Now it works for both of us.

Car kit automatic A2DP connection

I'm not entirely sure if this is a problem on my phone, or with the car kit, but I figured if I post on both ends, someone might know the answer.
With my N95 and N97, as soon as I turn on my car (equipped with Nokia CK-100), I automatically get connected to BT HFP and A2DP profiles. The car kit will tell me, "Phone connected." A second later, "Player connected." With the N8, the car kit will only connect to just the phone automatically. For the player to connect while the car is on, I have to open up the music player and play a song, which will then force N8 to make the A2DP connection. So when that happens, you hear a 1.5 second message saying, "Player connected" followed by music that is already 2 to 3 seconds into the song. I thought it was perhaps the Car Kit getting full with the list of paired devices (memory is for 8 pairings), but clearing the list doesn't help. I thought it was the Car Kit firmware, so I upgraded it to 4.401, no luck. Then when I paired my old N97 and N95, both HFP and A2DP connections were made automatically when I boot up my car as expected! But not the N8.
Problem with the Car Kit, or problem with S^3?

The N8 on PR1 is still not a good excuse for the many bugs that it has. It's just unimaginable that something that worked solidly with S60v3 and S60v5 and suddenly with the improved Symbian OS a mature and functional feature suddenly has a bug? I just don't understand how that could've made it into the N8. Is it the OS? Or is it the BT chipset? In either case, quality control got missed.
Thanks, though, for letting me know that I'm not the only one to experience this. I'll stop trying to fix this as this is a problem outside of my control.

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?

HT204368 My iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps. It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed.

My new iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps, nor does it give me handsfree as before. It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed. It also sometimes gives the message that this device is not supported by iPhone (although I have been using it for several years) with my UK and Ireland, Western Europe, and USA and Canada apps. Just replaced my 4 with a 4S rather than a 5, which won't fit the mounting kit.

From their web site Tom Tom actually offered a converter kit at one point however all it was a 3mm thick bit of plastic with a self adhesive tape backing!

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.
has a concesis as to what should be bought yet? if not if the smart thing to do to wait a few months?

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

Car kit with GPS booster AND FM transmitter???

Does anyone know if there is a car kit that has both a GPS booster and a FM radio transmitter? Our cars don't have auxiliary audio inputs so we wouldn't be able to play itunes through the radio with the Tom Tom car kit. I'd really like a car kit that does everything (ie GPS booster, FM transmitter, handsfree calls, charger).
Thanks
Sorry... should have said I'm looking for something to work with iphone4

Connecting BB8900 to mercedes car kit

Help, I have a BB 8900 and I am unable to access my contacts using a mercedes bluetooth car kit. My old razor works fine

You need to set the MB to "receive external data" within the phone function;
then go into the Bluetooth menu on the BB, select the MB entry and there may be an option to "transfer address book" in the menu system (there is on my 8120 so hoping it's the same for you).
if so select the option, it'll start generating the address book before transferring (I get a bluetooth connection lost message during the process but ignore it).
The MB system will start showing the entries received (assuming the transfer works), thinks about it for a while as it sorts the new data.
Go back to the MB system and the phonebook should have your data.
Now for the kicker;
I can't actually update the MB phonebook with new entries from my BB without having to do the "transfer phone book" routine - which gives me multiple entries on existing contacts (Comand APS on 2009 C class, no convenience phone kit), as there appears to be no way to select new entries on the BB for uploading.
So the MB needs a factory reset - this of course removes everything in the Comand system inc the address books, music files, GPS info such as My Address, stored addresses etc etc (those with Audio 20 won't have this problem, don't know about Audio 50 users), all the Bluetooth pairings are lost inc your BB so delete the MB entry in your BB, re-pair etc etc.
I don't think I've got it wrong, MB are looking into it to give them their due.
If anybody knows how to solve this let me know!

6233 and Mercedes car Kit B6 787.???

Does anyone know which mercedes car kit (B6 787 models or other) my new 6233 is compatable with.? Thanks...

Scotslad,
Im happy to say that my 6233 does in fact work with the Blue tooth device fitted to my new Merc. When I collected the car the sales guy I had been dealing with ensured that the car and the phone where paired together and since then its worked fine.
I leave the phone on Bluetooth and jump in the car and the connection is automatic and quickly sync's together.
I cant read text messages on the in car display as yet but I think its more of a need to read the merc manual than any fault.! - The phone quality when on a call is excellent.
Hope that's a help..
