Is N95 compatiable with Sony Ericcson Car-Kit HCB-...

Please could anybody confirm whether they have any experience of using the new N95 hand-set with the sony ericcson in-car handsfree HCB -30 bluetooth kit. I have just purchased the N95 and have mixed results with the SE kit and have had conflicting views from Nokia, SE and installers
Thank you

I have no idea about the Sony car kit, but would warn you that it is not properly compatible with the recommended Nokia kit which is the CK-20W....so you should think hard before using this as a solution if the Sony kit does not work. My problems are mainly around voice dialling with the car kit - it didn't work at all with FW 10 or 11, worked after a fashion with 12, have just installed 20 and now it does not work at all again. CarphoneWarehouse are currently trying to downgrade the firmware back to 12, but I have no confidence that they'll do it. The really annoying thing is that there seems to be no documentation about what each new FW version introduces, and no way of getting a human being at either Nokia or CarphoneWarehouse to really take responsibility and give me the confidence that Nokia are even trying to fix the problem.

Unable to manage volume with my bluetooth car kit

I have a bluetooth car kit Parot CK-3000 and the volume is very low and I can't change it with my new Nokia phone 6120. With my previous phone (Sony-Ericsson, SPV) it was running well but with my new phone I can't change the volume of my bluetooth car kit and I can't manage it with the specific menu.
Can you help-me on this subject ?
Thank's in advance.

Hi fct24
I don't know which firmware version your phone is running, key in *#0000# on standby screen as there have been several posts in the past concerning this issue.
Do you have to set Parrot up as an "enhancement", I know "headset" will be listed but is there a "car kit" option?
Is Parrot using their latest software?

N95 not disconnecting from 616 car kit correctly

We have 2 cars that have 616's and users with N95's. Both kits fitted professionally to a BMW and a VW, and phone as kits are about a year old. Everything has been working great, but over the last month they have both developed the same problem, where the N95 still thinks it's connected to the kit, and needs restarted. They can then go back into the car again and it connects fine. The firmware on the phones have been upgraded, but the problem still happens.
Does anyone have any ideas, is it the phones or the car kits that are having the problem?
They are connecting to the kit in sim access mode.

Thanks for your help.
When I wrote my post there was no special N95 compatible version of the contacts downloader.
Meanwhile there is a compatible version of the contacts downloader and with it I am able to download my contacts from the N95 to the Nokia 610.
You can find the N95 compatible version in the download section of the Nokia 610.

N95 drops connectiohn to 616 car kit

Hi
I've had a 616 car kit working reasonabley well with my N80 in sim access mode for almost a year - it occasionally lost connection and I had to restart the car kit to re-establish the connection. I've had an N95 for 2 days and both days within about 5 minutes of connecting the car kit shows lost connection with N95 and the phone has no signal indicator there is just the 3G at the bottom. It does show it is in remote sim mode. The only way to get it working is to switch off and restart the phone.
Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
Andy

Just to add weight to this thread I have the same problem, reliable operation with N80, but my N85 sometimes gets into a state where the phone is stuck halfway into remote SIM mode and the 616 cannot connect.
I have to turn off the car kit, turn off the phone, turn the phone back on, then finally reboot the car kit and it usually, but not always, comes abck up.
This often seems to happen when I have had the car unlocked, but the ignition not on, so the car kit may have tried to start but not fully, though this could be coincidence, would love to hear if anyone finds a solution for this!!

Can any other phone be used with a 6210 car kit?

Hi,
I have just purchased a car and it has a nokia 6210 hands free kit fited into the car. It works as I have hecked it with a friends mobile phone, however, will this kit work with any other nokia mobile phones?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

If it is a genuine Nokia cark-91 then you can buy a ca-55 converter lead & a new cradle, however there are lots grey areas to wether or not you car kit will work with the new phone that you get. My advice would be to invest in a new car kit, it wont cost you much more and you will be able to guarantee compatability & hopefully it will serve you for future phones but dont hold your breath.

Using iPhone with Pontiac GTO - 2004-2006 with Holden Bluetooth Car Kit

I have a 2004 Pontiac GTO with a Holden Bluetooth Car Kit. I can pair the phone with the bluetooth kit but I can't activate the device when I receive or place a call. My previous phone (Motorola RAZR) had no issues. Has anyone had the same problem and been able to solve it?

I just sold my Motorola RF-850 that was hooked up to my GTO today because it wasn't working with my IPhone.
I can't believe you paid for the Holden one.
Anyway good luck.

Blue Tooth with Sony Ericcson and iMac

I'm trying to send pictures from my Sony Ericcson to my iMac but my phone keeps saying check the other blue tooth device (iMac).
My phone is showing up on my iMac's list of blue tooth devices found and my iMac is showing up on my phone as being found as well.
However that's as far as it goes. Here is the error message that my phone keeps giving:
CHECK BLUE TOOTH SETTINGS ON OTHER DEVICE: BLUE TOOTH VISIBLE, DEVICE VISIBLE, DEVICE IN RANGE.
I'm thing the answer to each of these questions here is yes, so why won't my phone pair with my iMac?
Thanks to all,
Trey Vollmer

Hey, Elmac.
Thanks again for helping but the instructions from this here web page don't track with my mac osx system.
I wasn't able to follow along because the steps from the web page you suggested did not match my osx.
I don't know if that makes sense to you, but I hope it does.

N8 with Nokia 616 car kit

Advice anyone? I'm pretty sold on getting an N8, due to the fact that Nokia seem to build a robust phone that gets better reception than most others when used as a phone. The only real issue at the moment seems to be that it will not be compatible with my nokia 616 car kit (possibly the best car kit ever made, and still being sold today). Does anybody know if there will be an upgrade to get around this issue or, any other solution? I gather that it's possible to get other makes of 'smartphones' with BT3 to connect and work with the 616... so why can't the N8, especially seeing as they both have NOKIA stamped on them??

I do not have N8, i have N97mini... but i have that carkit.
My findings are that with E71 and N97mini there was trouble involved. You can pair, you need a special software on E71 to get the contacts downloaded, and both do loose connection after a while.
Sometimes there is no connection at all, and then you have to switch off and on the bluetooth on the phone to get it working again.
E71 then was obviously fixed with new firmware. Bluetooth was stable after the update. On N97mini i am still waiting for some improvement.
Did also monitor car-bluetooth topics in this board. There are several users complaining, that their devices did work with very old mobiles, but not with the newer ones.

Silent mode with Parrot bluetooth car kit

Bluetooth Connectivity Issues on Unlcked GSM Treo Pro with OEM Mercedes Car Kit-2009 Model Year-E Series

Previously I had my Unlocked GSM Treo Pro connected to my 2009 Mrcedes E550 using bluetooth and had full functionality for phone and address book. Recently I received a replacement Treo Pro device from Palm under a warranty replacement due to a frozen touchscreeen and have had difficulties connecting the new device to this vehicle. I have troubleshooted thoroughly and have been able to connect my phone to other cars and other bluetooth devices and also have been able to connect other phones to my car, which has isolated that the issue is the connection between my Palm device and my car's bluetooth. The device is connecting intially to my car, but then the connections alternates continuously between being connected and searching for a connection-making it unusable. I have already installed the Treo 850 patch TreoProBTpatch.CAB to this new device and it has not resolved the issue. Please advise if there is any explanation why I was able to get my prior device to connect and am not able to get the same model replacement device to do so. I have visited the dealership to review and after being unsuccessful in connecting they recommended I contact Palm.

Using Ipod Nano 3rd generation with car kit

Just a simple question... I recently got an 8GB Ipod Nano... want to play it in my car with the Belkin car kit. Even with the volume turned up at max on my ipod I still have to turn up my cd player volume in the car high - is this normal? Also, is FM the best frequency? Confused... just want good quality listening. Thanks

Others have asked this, and the answer I've always seen is no.

Existing Nokia Car Kit MCC4 & N95 8GB phone

Hi,
I've bought a car with embedded Nokia Car Kit MCC4, which was designed for old Nokia 3310 & 3330 phones. I have Nokia N958GB.
Can I use the existing connectors (with adequate adapters of course) and expect that I can use the car kit as expected?
I was planing to use existing wires and make some changes:
1. HOLDER: replace the phone holder with one taht fits my new phone
2. CHARGER: plug in charger adapter to fit new standard
3. AUDIO: plug in 2,5mm female to 3,5mm male stereao audio jack adapter
Thanks.

Thanks for you interest. I'll inform you abaout all I discover about this little hack.
For now, I have difficulties to find the audio cable adapter in my country (prety rare in Serbia).
This is it:
http://www.amazon.com/Female-Adapter-Accessories-Electronics-Computers/dp/B000RHMO96
or:
http://www.tangshop.com/35mm-to-25mm-adapter.html
Leastways I'll make that adapter by hand, or combine few elements to derive the wishing one
Best regards,
Vladimir Stefanovic

Falcon with nokia car kit not muting radio?

Just got a 2007 XR6 falcon with a nokia car kit already fitted. The cable plugs in to my phone and when done the radio flashes up "media" but when a call is received or made the radio doesn't do anything. Could this be because the model of phone I have, it's a cheap 6131 or just something I'm missing?
Cheers
Craig

Check that the phone software is up to date. It sounds like the phone is holding the audio channel open and not realeasing the mute quickly enough.
*#0000# will display what version you are running.
You can update software on pcsuite but remember to back up the phone contents first.
