N73/Brodit cradle & cable for car kit

Can you please offer any assistance? I have a full Nokia car kit with interchangable cradle (not Bluetooth, model unknown) which was purchased 2nd hand for a 6230i. I have now upgraded to N73 & need to modify the car kit. The existing pop port lead works OK with the N73, so I have bought a Brodit cradle, but the lead does not fit the recess in the cradle, so bought a CA-27 cable as advised by the Brodit info. The CA-27 fits my control box but on testing with a meter, is wired different to the original lead & doesn't work with the phone. Is there any tech information available online on pin-outs for the cable etc., or would a Nokia CK-7 advanced control box work with this phone & CA-27 cable? Rewiring the cable wouldn't be a problem if I had the info - I used to repair Laptops to component level. Also, I don't really want to replace whole kit again (3rd time!) & don't want to go totally bluetooth. Any information would be much appreciated! Dave.

Thanks confiture & Danny B for your responses - I was aware that the CA-27 was intended for the CK-7W advanced. Since the existing cable from the kit works with the phone, I was hoping to find some pin-out info to modify the CA-27. We are thinking of emigrating this year & I have had to buy the N73 for cash to avoid extending contracts, so had hoped to sort the car kit problem as cheap as I could. Unless someone comes up with an alternative idea, there must be a way of modifying the CA-27 to the same pin connections as the existing cable, which as I said, works "straight up the **bleep**" of the N73! Would buy a CK-7W box, but a mate who used to work in the trade says they are prone to going wrong, and a 2nd user one (ebay etc.) may be a duff one.

Options for car kit

Got my iPhone this week and am discovering the less than stellar speakerphone. I really wanted to just put this in a cradle on the dash and be done with it.
I'm trying to come up with a simple and reliable solution for the car.
One thought is to use a single earpiece with mic ...

I would just use this to answer calls. I prefer the ear hook (buds NEVER stay in my ears). This would be good as I wouldn't have to recharge a device. I have used Bluetooth ear devices but I find them uncomfortable.
I was also looking at this ...

I'm leery of the Bluetooth speakerphones as every one I've ever tried had horrendous echoing problems.
Any recos for a "non-fuss" car kit? TIA

2.5mm / Pop Port Adaptor for Car Kit?

I currently have a Nokia Car Charger / Hands-free that my work installed, it has a power connector and a 2.5mm connector. I use it with a Nokia 1100 but I have upgraded to a Nokia 6100, however since the 1100 uses a 2.5mm connector and the 6100 uses some kind of Pop Port, it doesn't connect. I'm not sure of the brand of car kit since my wife is using the car, all I can remember is the name begins with 'A' but that's not much help. Anyway, if someone could suggest an appropriate product to use, that would be very helpful.
William.

The only car kit i can think of who supplies a cradle to fit the Nokia 1100 is THB Bury, if this is fitted into your car you will be able to replace the cradle, it simply clips off, expect to pay around £60. Let me know if you can see any names or part numbers.

Nokia 8800 / 8801 Data Cable or Car Kit - Anyone H...

Does anyone know how or where to get any of these. I do recall that Nokia made a data cable for the 8800 but cannot find one.Instead I bought a cable from eBay which fits into the back of the handset but this does not work.
Nokia E71 RM-346
400.21.013

The 8801 is the same as the Nokia 8800.
However the 8801 is designed for the US market, because it has a different radio module in it.
It is Quad Band, but instead of working on GSM900 it operates on GSM850. Because there are no GSM850 Networks in the UK then that handset will only work on GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 Networks. GSM 1800 Networks are available in the UK those are T-Mobile and Orange - in dense areas of population you may get some Voda or O2 but not nationally. Vodafone and O2 use GSM 900 Networks and as such the 8801 will not pick them up.
As the handset is the same as the 8800 there is no data cable connection, and again the only way to connect it is by Bluetooth.
I'm guessing that you did not get the phone in the UK?
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

External Aux Cable for Car

I have an aux in cable from the head unit in my car, but when i plug it into the headphone socket on my iPhone 3G, the audio stops and starts all the time.
I noticed the plug for headphone has 3 bands, and normal 3.5mm has 2. So i suspect the mic is the difference. I guess this causes a problem when using a standard 3.5mm socket for audio out to a car?

I had the exact same issue w/ my iPhone 3G. I made an appointment at the Apple Store and the mac tech (or "Genius") exchanged my iPhone. To date, I never had this problem w/ the replacement. It will, however, pause or play if I'm actively plugging in or removing the cable from the iPhone itself--that part is normal.

I use mine w/ a ghetto-fabulous cassette adapter in my car, and it works fine. It's not the adapter, but the iPhone itself.

Male to male audio cable for car doesn't work with my iphone 4s?

I have a 3.5 mm male to male cable that I have used in my car so I can listen to my music. It works fine with my iphone 3G, but it doesn't work with the new 4s. Is there a special cable I need to use with it? It's weird, because my earbuds work with either iphone, but not the audio cable. Suggestions??

I have the exact same issue with my new 4S.
I haven't find a solution yet.

AUX cable for car CD d

Hey guys. I just got my Zen Touch 40 Gig for xmas today and started doing research being that this is my first mp3 player. A lot of my research included, of course: accessories. I figured there wouldnt be a lot because the ipod is most popular...no big deal though, I wanted it to play music and that's what it does. Anyways, my question is about AUX cables. I'm not an electronics kindof dude... I'm pretty clueless. I have no idea where to get cables or what would fit on both my AUX input and my mp3 player.
My CD deck has a AUX input in the front...

What would work and where would I get this kindof cable?Thanks

Radio Shack or Circuit City should have them. You want a /8" stereo Walkman-style male jack on both ends.

Wired Car kit for 6300

Is there a hard wired option for the 6300 to a car kit?

In a nutshell, no.
The 6300 only has a Bluetooth option for car kit connection.
You can get a charging cradle though so the battery is kept charged....

N73 wired car kit cradle available?

I have a Nokia wired car kit for my old 6100. The kit has a Nokia cradle that can be unplugged from the connection lead and presumably a new cradle can be fitted for another phone. Does anyone know if a wired cradle will be made for the N73, other than the universal cradle? The original kit was fitted by Carphone Warehouse, although when I asked in the store they said that there was no cradle for the N73 yet. TIA -Pete

Hi Folks
I'm an N70 user and I am astonished that Nokia haven't offered a pop out cradle for the N70/N73 series on the CARK-91 kit, given that:
a) The handsets are marketed as a business phones.
b) Battery life is indifferent, particularly if used with SatNav software.
c) Nokia must surely consider the road safety issues raised by users tempted to revert to hand use when the power to the bluetooth headset expires.
There may be an argument that technology has moved on from the six year old CARK-91, but I doubt it. It cannot beyond the wit of Nokia to produce a suitable adaptor.
Can I suggest that you bombard customer support with requests for a replcement cradle (as I have done) ; you never know, vox pop may yet influence big business
Yours in hope
PB

Car kit cradle for nokia N95

I have just bought a new car which has a hands free car kit in it suited for a nokia 6288, my phone is a nokia N95 so it is wider than the cradle that is already fitted for the 6288 and the connection plug in the cradle from the wiring is different in it to what suits a nokia N95.
can i just buy a new cradle that fits a nokia N95 and change the cradles over and if so what about the plug that connects to the phone from in the cradle, can you buy adaptors for these of some sort to change it to suit the N95 instead of 6288?

Hi
The N95 does not have a wired carkit option, only Bluetooth.You don't mention what carkit it is that is already in the car but try pairing to it by Bluetooth and that should give some type of identity.
Cradle wise you can have one for the N95, but it will only hold and possible charge the phone.
The Nokia CR-99 will fit but it's a generic cradle.
There are also third party cradles for the N95 such as the Brodit branded ones.

Hope this helps?

Car kit cradle-adaptor for 6230

please can someone tell me what i need for my car kit at the moment i have a 3310 system but have bought a 6230 and need some sort of adaptor for the cradle that is in the car as it is a different plug ect can you let me know where i can buy ect

There are some cradles available to just plug in but they are not made by Nokia and there is quality issues. I would best advise you to upgrade you car kit to a new ck-7w, so you can guarentee compatability and make full use of you 6230i features, this kit will be easily upgraded next time you change phones so is a good investment.

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?

Converting car kit for 6210 for use with N73

I have a Saab 93 with Nokia issued 6210 car kit fitted at garage at delivery. Plays through speakers etc. I now have an N73 - is it possible to convert or add something to the original car kit to use the functionality with the new phone?
Thanks

We have a Nokia CarK-91 in the car with a simple pop-port adapter in the original cradle. It works without too much problems. We bought the adapter to use a 6230i in the CarK-91 cradle.
The N73 is wider then the 6230i so I had to cut away the sides of the adapter. There are also 2 plastic pins next to the pop-port itself that I had to cut off by 3 mm.
But now we can use the N73, the 6230i and the 6310i in the same carkit. The only thing is that you need to be cautious when clicking in the 6230i as there are no guidance pins anymore.
There are reports that the same setup doesn't work. It seems that it has to do with the firmware of the headunit of the CarK-91 (above K series works) and the maker of the pop-port adapter (I don't know the brand. Bought the adapter at Halfords in the Netherlands 2 years ago).
