Help! Nokia 8600 not working with my Ford audio bl...

I've got a problem connecting my Nokia 8600 Luna to the Ford Audio on my Ford S-Max 2006 via bluetooth. Whenever I try to bond between the two bluetooth products, I get a "Bonding Failed" message on the Ford CD player display and "unable to bond to bluetooth device" on the phone.
I've asked around some Ford S-Max forums and I'm told that I may need to wait for a Nokia Firmware update for the 8600 and keep my fingers crossed that this will contain and update which will make the two devices compatible. Is this true? Its very frustrating as I have an old Nokia 6230 which works fine on the Ford Audio and I have to switch to using this on long drives! The bluetooth on the smax was an expensive option and the Nokia 8600 ain't cheap either and now I feel like they've both been a waste of money! Please help me Nokia community.

I don't know whether a firmware upgrade would help. You were lucky with the 6230, it had excellent compatibility with a wide variety of car kits. The 8600 is compatible with relatively few.
Ford are factory-fitting some cars with a car kit developed on their behalf by Nokia - if yours is this system, then a list of compatible phones is on the web site (I can't give you a direct link because they use flash presentation pages in the web site, but start here: http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4221246 and work your way through car > car integration > Ford.
The problem with factory-fit car kits is that the car manufacturers get one of the phone/car kit manufacturers to develop kits for them, but they usually don't maintain the relationship so the car kit falls behind as new phones are developed.

  • Non-Nokia headphones not working with N9

    Heyo,
    I tried plugging my Etymotic mc3 headphones into my N9, but the sound keeps playing through the speakers. The stock Nokia 'buds work, and the only difference between the two is that the Etymotics have inline volume controls. Will these buds simply not work with the N9, or is there some hope? What should I look for/avoid when shopping for new buds for my N9?

    I finally found a great converter for non nokia headphones...
    I bought AKG Q460 that are specifically made for iPhones and couldn't use the inline mic to talk and even the heaphones had that TV signal sound going thru. i bought a bunch of converters that didnt work. And finally bought one that actually works 100% with my AKG and my N9.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 not working with Windows 8.1

    I got a Trojan virus on my computer and had to have it wiped clean.  I've been trying to reinstall the printer, which is on a wireless network.  The computer initially identified the printer on the wireless network and I installed it.  It worked OK for a couple of days.  Today I developed a problem, that the printer would not print from various cloud-based programs that I routinely use, in one instance it deferred to the Microsoft program and worked.  Then I started to get messages that the printer would not work until One Note had been used for the first time.  (I have never used One Note)  I went through a whole trial of trying to get One Note installed, it finally said the trial period had expired and I was unable to start the program.  The Microsoft process I went through had me change my Microsoft password.  At this point the printer totally stopped working.  It is completely dead. I have plugged the computer directly into the wall outlet to no avail.  The HP information page says the printer is "offline", but when I went into control panel, discovered that the computer does not identify a printer anywhere.  It might be helpful to know that I installed Nuance PDF standard yesterday.  Any idea what's going on?

    Hello Betty7,
    Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
    I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see that you are having an issue with getting the printer reinstalled. 
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes it may generate.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Help!  iSight Not Working with iMovie!

    I can't seem to use my iSight camera with iMovie. ?? The camera works with PhotoBooth, but with iMovie not even the "Record with iSight" button appears. I'm using iMovie 5 on an IMac G5 with a built-in iSight camera. Any suggestions on getting iSight to record to iMovie??

    You're welcome, -John
    If you are following the directions in this Apple article
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2329.html,
    your iSight should be working.
    If you have added any hardware or software since iMovie worked correctly for you, first rule out any Possible conflicts with your iSight.
    If your problem is ONLY with iMovie, try this:
    • Quit iMovie if it is open.
    • Delete your iMovie preferences file:
     Finder > Go > Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iMovie.plist
    • If they exist, also delete any other "com.apple.iMovie" files that end in ".plist" in this folder, or example, "com.apple.iMovie2.plist" and / or "com.apple.iMovie3.plist".
    • Close those folders and launch iMovie again to check for proper functioning.
    • When you get iMovie working again after tossing your old .plist files, you will need to reset all preferences that you want to be different from the default values.
    If you cannot make your iSight does not work in any app or in any User Account, you will need the help of an Apple Service Provider Technician to repair your iSight.
    If only iMovie gives you trouble, even after dumping the iMovie preferences, I suggest you reinstall the iMovie application.

  • E75 & Nokia Messaging not working with Gmail prope...

    Hi there,
    I'm having problems in getting my new E75 to function with Gmail (I'm using Gmail via IMAP, custom domain and Google Apps) and I'm, therefore, here in order to search some help from more tech-savvy users. The most annoying problem I'm having at the moment is that E75 creates duplicate messages in "sent mail" -folder in Gmail when sending mail from it. I would also be delighted if I could delete messages using my phone so that msges would be moved to Gmail's trash folder instead of "All Mail" -folde. Any advice in getting these functionalities? Thank You!  
    All in all, I would like to be able to configure E75 mail client to function like a "normal" IMAP client.  

    Maddmaxx is correct, check this article for more information: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78755
    A workaround to delete emails from Gmail is to go into Google Labs, enable Advanced IMAP Controls, go to Forwarding and POP/IMAP and switch When a message is expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: to either Move the message to the Trash or Immediately delete the message forever depending on your preference.
    We're working on this.

  • Help! iTunes not working with Address Book

    I have the latest iTunes and the newest version of Adressbook.
    When I go to Sync my iPhone 4.  The Address Book Groups that appear in iTunes (under the INFO section) are not the same as the groups in my Address Book program.
    I tried deleting all the contacts off my iPhone and then re-starting the computer and then restoring them, but iTunes will not pull the new Groups into the program.  iTunes just continues to display the old Groups that no longer exist in Address Book (because I have deleted them) nor will it show the new Groups I've created. 
    Is there a way to reset this area?  Or wipe out the preferences.  I don't want to lose by iPhone backups.
    Thanks.

    Apple Store said the only soluction was to wipe computer clean and re-install system from original disks and restore from back-up.

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch does not work with Ford sync since updating OS

    When I updated my iPod to the new os, it does not work with my ford sync system anymore. how do I fix this?

    Have lots of issues with Fords MySync and here's some info that might help....
    Using ford sync interface, goto the phone section, then settings, and look if your iPhones name is listed, if so select the phone name thru sync interface and remove/delete it from the sync list, then go thru the Bluetooth pairing process again.
    If that doesn't work, do the same on the iPhone, select ford sync entry in Bluetooth and remove sync or forget this device on the iPhone and then go thru Bluetooth pairing again.
    If that doesn't work Power off iphone ( not sleep) hold power button till you see red slider to power off. Then restart iphone, try pairing up again.
    If that doesn't work go back to MySync and goto phone settings and use the up-down slider till you see sync master reset. Confirm then go thru BT pairing again.
    If that doesn't work there is a fuse for the my sync system. Fuse box is usually behind kick panel of front passenger seat side for the Mustang #3, its behind a paper black cover. Remove fuse for 5-30 secs then replace.
    Lastly, make sure your MySync Firmware is the latest vers. Mines 4.0.2 goto fords MySync support page to check
    http://www.ford.com/syncmyride/
    or call 1-800-392-3673 Opt 3
    A google search might help for your model and year if not a newer mustang and you couldn't get to ford.
    Good Luck

  • Caller ID not working with Nokia 6600?

    I have a T-Mobile (US) Nokia 6600, and I can't seem to get address book to display incoming SMS or the caller ID of incoming calls. I've successfully paired the phone via bluetooth, and I can make address book dial the phone and send an sms. I can sync via iSync, use my phone as a modem, etc. etc.
    But regardless of what settings I tweak, I can't seem to get Address Book to show a bezel of any kind on incoming calls - not even an 'Unknown Caller' message! Am I missing something obvious? Third party apps like BluePhoneElite work just fine, so I'm pretty sure it's something wrong with Address Book...

    The Caller ID issue was due to an outage. It should be resolved anytime soon. Can yu log out and log back in. Go to app settings and in notifications and turn CAller ID off and on.
    On email - what do you mean 'email is very hard to see' ? I would like to pass on this feedback to the team.

    my mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

    If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

  • Apple 23 Cinema not working with nvidia 5200...help!!!

    Hey all!
    I have an Apple 23" Cinema that is not working with my Windows XP machine using an NVIDIA 5200 128meg graphics card. The montior, when booting Windows, just flashes its power light 3 times...goes off...then repeats the sequence.
    So, I tried a Dell 2007WFP with the XP machine using the DVI port of the card. When booting, it seems like it's going to fire up the monitor (shows splash screen and Windows logo) but then goes blank when it hits the desktop.
    Oddly enough, when I plug in my Apple 30" into the DVI port of the NVIDIA card, it works just great. No fuss or muss (other than a resolution change).
    The 23" also works fine with my MacPro BTW so I know the monitor is golden.
    Any takers on this one?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Talon, I just accidentally came across your thread. Maybe I can help. I own a 23-inch cinema HD display but mine is ADC and I have to run mine through an ADC to DVI adapter.
    Anyways on to the discussion...
    The nvidia 5200 is a rather old-ish card (or chipset). The feature set in these older cards are not necessarily symmetrically reciprocal (what?) throughout the feature set. In other words, the feature may work in one mode and not in the another mode...etc...
    You may have seen these specs on your 5200 card/chipset:
    +Dual RAMDACs (up to 400 MHz) for display resolutions up to and including 2048×1536 @ 85Hz+
    and thought this would be great, my resolution is less than that @ 1920x1200 on my 23-inch cinema display. However I believe this may be referring only to the vga output signal and not the DVI. Read on...
    Further down in the specs for the 5200 card/chipset you'll see:
    +DVI support for compatibility with nextgeneration flat panel displays with resolutions up to and including 1600×1200+
    Unfortunately, this is not enough resolution to power your 23-inch display at 1920x1200. Windows may even show the resolution 1920x1200 as available (if you're able to get to the screen) but what I think it's not telling you, it that in order for you to be able to use that resolution you'll need to switch to dual mode DVI, and the card does this automatically.
    For example: 640x800 to 1600x1200 uses single mode DVI and anything above that (like our 23-inch cinema HD monitors @ 1920x1200) +using this particular card/chipset+ will be using dual mode DVI whether the monitor can support that mode or not. From my experience with my HD cinema it uses single mode DVI.
    As someone said above your 23-inch is in *single mode DVI* and from my experience only accepts *single mode DVI input* from the graphics card.
    From my understanding of the specs and your description of the delimma, I would suppose that you are able to get the 30 inch display to work because the 30 inch is a *dual mode DVI monitor* and your graphics card does work in dual DVI mode up to your 30-inch resolution but ONLY in dual DVI mode.
    Here are the specs on it:
    http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_20040109440047.html
    I hope this helps you out.
    If you were to ask my recommendation, I'd go buy a new video card that has higher resolution on the single mode DVI output. I can tell you that my ATI 2600 HD Pro (AGP) (windows version, not mac only) has two DVI ports that are both dual mode DVI capable but also dumb down to single mode DVI signaling at high enough resolution to support our 23-inch cinema HD single mode DVI displays.
    Good luck!
