Info on car kit

hi there, i'm hoping that you might be able to help. i'm not a user of an in car kit so i'm a bit dumb when it comes to them... (i'm possibly assuming that they are more complicated than they actually are!)
my father in-law has a nokia 3120 and has asked us to find him a replacement phone (he doesn't want or need anything too fancy). we've been looking at the 6230i, the only snag is that he has recently purchased a new car which has an in car kit already built in and by chance this happens to fit the old phone & he wants to keep it. we dont know what model the car kit is (it has a cradle & you just plug in and talk) so i'm not sure whether the 6230i is compatible or not.
can anyone advise as i'm not really sure whether to start!
thanks

I think you have a cark-132 or 134 because the the 3120 has a headphone socket and power socket on the bottom and will work with these kits although the phone is not a perfect fit. Unfortunatly there is not new phones that will fit in this car kit, sorry.

  • CR-23 car kit info required please

    Hello, can anyone help a technophobe please? I have bought a car with a CR-23 cradle fitted. I know this covers the 6020 and 6021 phones, but is it possible to simply plug in any other cradles to allow me more options of phone models? If so which models can I choose from? Any info on car kit/phone interchangeability would be appreciated. Thanks Ian

    Yes you can change the cradle to any nokia phone that supports pop port connection, hopefully you will have a ck-7w car kit if not you may be in trouble. Have a look at the phone accesories for the phone you have and see if there is a cradle available or let us know your phone.

  • Incoming calls to BT car kit are shown as "UNKOWN"

    I am from Holland and driving a Peugeot 308 CC with built in BT car kit called Connect Nav (standard, not the 3D version). I upgraded to the latest software version 33.09. Whenever a call comes in, it shows "UNKOWN" in the car display. When I delete the callers name from the iPhone's addressbook the car kit shows the incoming callers telephonenumber. So numbers are correct displayed, but names are either "UNKOWN" or short names give strange coded info on the car display. So there is a software incompatiblity between iOS 5.0.1. and Peugeot Connect Nav. iOS 4 seemed to work without a problem I got from several fora. Syncing iPhone's addressbook does not make a change.
    Why is Apple's iOS 5 not backwards compatible with iOS 4 compatible equipment? Please Apple correct this software incompatibility.
    Has anybody encountered this problem and used an contacts/addressbook App that solved this kind of problems?

  • 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.

  • Can't connect to our new car kit

    Bought a Blue Ant supertooth 3 car kit. All the other phones in the house work with it except the palm 700p verizon. The only thing I can think of is that the palm doesn't ask for the pass key to be entered. It finds the kit, tries to connect then says unable to add to your trusted list.
    Just tried it again for the 20th time, now it asks for the passcode but when I enter it it still says can't add to trusted devices??
    any ideas?
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

    Hello!
    First make sure the car kit is NOT in the trusted list already.  In you bluetooth application on the Treo, go into the bluetooth application and then tap on Setup Devices.  From there, tap on trusted devices button.  If any car kit, including your blue ant, is there, delete them and hit done.  Afterwards, soft reset the deice and try to resetup again.  This time when you perform the setup via the phone, make sure your searching for "Nearby Devices" and not "Trusted Devices" or "Known Devices" and see how that fairs.
    If nogo, then hotsync the phone to backup the content and then hard reset the Treo.  Right after the hard reset, try to pair to the bluetooth device again without yet rehotsyncing.
    Also make sure you are using the 1.10 software version on the Treo.  Go here for additional info on software version and update if needed.

  • 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...

  • Re: Bluetooth Related Issues with Car kits regarding the Palm Pre Post 1.2.1

    Year:  2007
    Carkit Model info (Manufacturer, firmware version, etc):  OEM with Nav
    Details of problem: (e.g. pairing drops, static on the line, buttons mapped incorrectly, etc) 
    Since updating to webOS 1.3.5, the connect and disconnect problems have mostly gone away!  Thank you Palm! 
    One minor complaint still with Bluetooth (if you are listening Palm):  The Nissan OEM kit supports up to 4 phones.  I paired my wife and kid's phones to the car, including my Pre.  When any other family member is in the car with me with their phone (non-Pre), my Pre will not connect to the car.  Their phones connect just fine even though my phone has been paired to the car to be the "primary" phone.  Only when I am by myself in the car will the Pre Bluetooth connect/disconnect work flawlessly.   Thanks again for getting us this far!
    webOS version:  1.3.5

    We are trying to collect data for all customers that are having issues related to pairing their Palm Pre to car kits, however this data is spread among tons of threads and many different boards. To resolve this we would like to consolidate this list down to one board and tell you up front what information we need.

  • Whats the best bluetooth car kit for iphone4?

    I am looking for a Bluetooth car Kit that will go with an iphone4.

    As you don't mention the rather important info on where you are in the world (this is a WW forum )
    This is a favourite in UK which I know many have fitted in Z4s
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Parrot-CK3100-Advanced-Bluetooth-Car/dp/B000621SN0
    This will give you an idea iof what is available f you are somewhere else
    There are other makes but I know Z4 owners who are very happy with this type of set up

  • What is the best Bluetooth car kit for Siri?

    I have an iPhone 4S and I do a lot of calling for work from my car.  I need a really good Bluetooth car kit that plays well with Siri.
    I bought the Motorola Roadster and it is very inconsistent.  Sometimes people can hear me very well and other times I am cutting out so badly no one can understand me.  When I am making business calls this is unacceptable.  I can always hear the person I am talking to very clearly on the Roadster.
    Siri does not understand me through the roadster and it can take forever to finish a request.  Usually I just get the phone out and do it myself, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a hands free car kit.
    Playing music would be a nice feature but the most important feature is call quality.
    Thanks.  Any help you can offer will be very much appreciated.

    In November I replaced my vehicle with one which has integrated bluetooth phone within the stereo system (2010 model Landrover). My previous Nokia N95 work perfectly with it and was so much clearer than the previous car kit.
    However, since upgrading? to the iphone on Orange (late November) when in the vehicle the connection between phone and car kit is lost way too often and the radio screen says "no network".
    I spoke to Landrover who say it's not their problem (probably right as the N95 worked fine).
    Any ideas would be welcome

  • Any Suggestions on a Bluetooth Car Kit for iPhone 3G

    Any suggestions on a bluetooth car kit to go with my iPhone 3G. I could get a bluetooth earpiece, but I would really only need this in my car because of the new California law.

    Hi Mike,
    What's your budget? For less than $2,000 U.S. you could get into an ARRI kit with a 650W and two 300W heads. This is what I would use. If you don't even have $1K for a Lowell kit, do an internet search for budget kits and home made setups. I saw some kits for as low as $99 to $399.
    You may find some good info on this Film Riot link too: Ryan's Light Kit: Low Budget Lighting Tips For Your Videos &... | Film Riot | Revision3

  • IPhone 4 will not locate Tom Tom car kit

    iPhone 4 with IOS 4.0 will not discover TomTom car kit Bluetooth making the GPS app unusable. Also hands free which I depend on is also unavailable. Works as designed on a iPhone 3GS with 3.13. Unfortunately the SIM cards can not be switched. Please look into this issue and provide a correction.

    Use the search facility on this site - I did, and found the following useful info...........
    The TomTom car kit isn't made for, and doesn't officially support, the iPhone 4. As the iP4 is thinner than the iP3, the phone doesn't 'push' back onto the flap in the mount enough for the dock connector to fully engage into the iP4. You can 'fix' this by putting a small piece of fabric/paper/neoprene/whatever behind the phone, which will then push the flap sufficiently to engage the connector.
    I've been doing this for ages without any problems, and the bluetooth connection between phone & car kit works fine.

  • Will N900 support Nokia's Car-Kit?

    As for the subject....

    Though you'd have to check for compatibility with individual models of Nokia car kit once they publish that information, not all Nokia devices are compatible with all Nokia car kits. If you are buying a new car kit or wanting to know it the N900 will work with a kit that you already have, best option if to keep your money in your pocket until Nokia publishes the info in the "accessories" pages of the web site.

  • 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!
