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-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.

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....

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 upgrade

Can I get an Upgrade cradle for Nokia N73 for an existing Car Kit HFU4, previously used with Nokia 6230i

HFU-4 is the control unit for the Cark-126 car kit and there is no Nokia cradle for the N73.
Brodit make a cradle for the N73 that connects with the Pop Port cable from the Ck-7W

I am not 100% sure but maybe this will work? Maybe you will need to swap cable? Perhaps Dannyboy can confirm this?

Nokia 6230i Ford Car kit cradle

I have a Ford factory fitted car kit that is part of my dvd touch screen sat nav system. I have a Nokia 6230i and it was recently stolen from my car along with the cradle. I bought a new 6230i and a new cradle from Ford but when I install it in the cradle it says enhancement not supported. The Ford dealer that supplied the cradle have tried several different cradles and have now told me that the one I have is for a 6230 and that Ford do not make one for the 6230i. But my original one worked so they must do! Does anyone have one that works? And if so can they tell me the part number?

Sorry Dannyboy, but that won't work.
You have the correct cradle for the 6230i and it will work even with the newest software released some days ago.(v3.89)
"Enhancement not supported" is an indication for a problem with the ACI-Chip in the car's phone module (Accessory Control Interface-Chip).
So there is a problem in the Nokia handsfree module.
Unfortunately, there is no other possibility than going to your local Ford dealer and letting the "BT/VC" module replace.
This error is known at all Ford hotlines and it should be no problem for your dealer to clarify this.
Best Regards

6230i in pre-wired Car Kit

Can anyone help....my phone has been working fine for past 12 months in Mercedes factory wired kit but as of yesterday phone doens't recognise that it is 'in the cradle'. Obviously this is a problem with the phone but I have no idea how to correct it. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Jill

Hi jill2
Have you tried just taking the battery out of the phone for a few minutes, long enough that you will have to re-input time and date; this might reset something.
Also you could try cleaning the contacts at base of phone with an eraser in case they have got dirty.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

6230i and CK-7 Car Kit cradle

I'ved used mu 6230i with bluetooth on the CK-7 with no issue. I've just had a cradle fitted and when I remove the phoen it quite regularly just gives me a white screen and I need to reset it. Is this a known issue ? Is there a fix ! My firmware is 3.40 dated 23-05-05 - is there a more modern version and how can I get it ?
Iain

Hi Guys!
Just to let you know 3.46 isnt compatible for all the networks in the UK.
If you need to get the phones software updated please speak with your Nokia Service Point, they will be able to install the correct software for your phone/network.
Cheers

Which Car Kit for my trusted 6230 & 6230i

I am so confused with the amount of Car Kits available. I would like a kit for my 6230 & 6230i and have seen 2 so far. The CARK 91 and the CARK 126 but do not know which would be more suitable. I do not want Bluetooth connection, I would just like to plug the phone in a cradle and have a decent 2 way conversation. Any ideas on which kit would be the most suitable. Power/stereo mute/external antenna would be nice but not essential. Thanks in advance.

CK-7W Car kit using the wired connection into an MBC-15s Cradle with the AXF-15s Antenna Coupler.
The only downside to these older wired car kits is that there is no digital speech processing so there will always be some background noise. Therefore is it critical that the microphone is correcly placed directly in the line of your voice and away from air flow from an open window or air vent.

Next G models compatible with car kits and antenna...

Help!
I currently have a CK-7W car kit with a soon to be obsolete 6235 CDMA handset. I am frustrated by the lack of quality handsets available on Telstra's new Next G service. The current 6120 Nokia only has bluetooth connectivity and no patch lead connectivity to external aerial. Has anyone heard if Nokia will be releasing a Next G model that will have a cradle compatible with the CK-7W car kit or any other hard wired car kit/antennae coupler or patch lead compatibility?

Make/Model: BMW 325I
Year: 2006
Carkit Model info: Latest firmware for the 3-series.
Details: Will not connect with bluetooth carkit. Both bluetooth and Pre discover each other but does not connect with each other. The Pre shows that its connected with the car but the car does not connect to the phone.
webOS: 1.4.0
Included in compatibilty list: Yes
It connected and paired up fine before the update to webOS 1.4.0, had no issues with 1.3.5.1. The phonebook functionality also worked fine with the previous version of WebOS

You may use a 616 car kit which has display and your phone will support sim access so you can download your contacts.

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.

How do I use attach a cradle tomy car kit & which ...

I've bought a car that's got a car kit built in but no cradle,the description says GSM/CK/NOK6110-NOKIA 5110/6110/6210/6310/7110 GSM CKIT.
What cradle would I need to get?
How would I attach it? and are there any new phones that would be compatible?
Is the 6110 the same as the 6110 Navigator and if so would that be like Sat Nav?
Sorry to bombard you with these questions but I've never had a car kit before.

There are Thunderbolt adapters you can use for the type of video port on your MB:

But you may need to upgrade its OS X version at least to Snow Leopard.

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).

Car Charger / Cradle Kit for 6085

This seems bizarre. Help please.
