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

  • Nokia 3210, which Car kit?

    My mother has bought a car with a Cark 91 kit installed.
    I have bought her a 6310i to use with it but wants her 3210 back.
    Which Cark number, or cradle do I need to get?
    Many thanks.

    I need to correct what I say before. Carpc and amplifier was not powered on when I try to get sound from Nokia to speakers. Because I didn't get any sound out from Nokia, I disconnect car kit's speaker wires and I plug in Nokia SP-3 speaker to junction box. So I have not been able to damaged Nokia. Also I don't wanna connect amp outputs to Nokia's inputs because then it cut sound from carpc which I don't want.

  • IPhone 3GS and Nokia CK-100 Car Kit

    Hi All,
    I am having a problem with my new iPhone and a Nokia CK-100 car kit. The car kit worked perfectly with my previous phone and the iPhone is in the compatability list for the kit so I'm assuming its been tested. When I first pair the devices they work without any problems. However when I have left the car and come back to it the kit and phone connect automatically as they should and I am able to voice dial using the kit. However when the call is connected no sound comes out of the car speakers. I have to pick the iPhone up, set audio source back to the phone then back to the car kit to get it to work. I really can't be doing this everytime I need to make a call as it defeats the object of the car kit! I have the latest software installed on the car kit and am running 3.1.3 on the iPhone.

    Do you know how the installer connected it to the Symphony Head Unit?
    He could have connected it to the 'tel in', or used a mute cable that connects directly to the speakers.
    If it is the former, try playing with the volume on the stereo during a call, and also turn the CK-100control button during a call (this also controls the call volume).
    I have seen something similar where the setting on one was high and the other low
    (can't remember which way though!)
    Hope this helps!

  • 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.

  • Nokia hands free car kit & 6310i

    when i bought my ford st170,i had a hands free car kit fitted, after selling it i bought a new ford transit connect but not before removing it to fit it to the van.The hands free has a red wire,yellow wire and black wire plus two wires for the speakers,having looked at the wiring for the van,the colour code is totally different.
    Can anyone HELP me,
    thanks,
    martin....

    If you are not quite sure where all the wires go in your vehicle then you should'nt attempt to install this kit, modern vehicles have very complex wiring systems on them and you can do damage which could cost you a lot of money. I have been installing car kits for 16 years and can put you intouch with a engineer near you if needed.

  • 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 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 CK-7W Car Kit won't switch off after switch...

    Hi,
    I have a CK-7W car kit (connected via bluetooth).
    Recently, the car kit has been reconnecting 2 to 3 seconds after switching the engine of the car off. I cannot seem to stop this from happening, even when clearing memory or even disconnecting the car battery for 20 mins.
    Any advice on how to reset the car kit would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Thanks for the response.
    The car kit was installed by a Car Phone Warehouse Nokia approved fitter about 4 years ago The kit has worked really well until recently!
    The contol button doesn't seem to be stuck in and responds as it should to button presses. In terms of the cable being squashed or damaged. Obviously there is a chance, but in actual fact, only an inch is on show before it is hidden behind the dashboard. In this instance I'm not sure what damage might occur since I don't know how to remove the dash!
    Apologies, I'm not certain I understand your comment re:
      -  "You can rule out the button by disconnecting it then starting the car and connecting, before switching off the car to see if the kit shuts down."
    How do I disconnect the button? Does it pull away from the lead / cable?
    Many, many thanks for your help,
    Chris

  • E51&Voice commands&Ford Car Kit

    Hello everyone,
    I just added navigation to my E51. As soon as I enter the car it connects to the inbuilt bluetooth car kit of my 2006 Ford Focus. If I start the navigation, I can't hear any voice commands. If I switch the radio and consequently the bluetooth kit off, I hear them through the phone speaker. I suppose, that they are supposed to be broadcasted through the bluetooth connection which would be great, but it doesn't work. Is there any possibility to change the output device or to support the bluetooth set of the Ford?
    Best regards
    Karsten

    have the same problem with my N95 and supertooth have to go in and physically disconnect my bluetooth in tools when i leave the car even if I turn the supertooth off. otherwise cannot send or receive calls. ok when you remember.

  • 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

  • Nokia 6310i in car kit

    Please can someone advise me : is there is any phone other than a nokia 6310i that i can use with my already existing incar system , the phone i have is great but old fashioned and i would love a new one , but i dont want to go to the expence of changing the built in car system ?
    Thankyou

    Assuming you have CARK-91 kit installed, you've pretty much reached the end of the line as the 6310i was the last handset compatible with the kit.
    It is possible to add a CA-55 converter cable, but this only works properly with the 6230 and 6230i, not very well might I add.
    So I would recommend changing your carkit if you plan on changing your phone.
    First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
    Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
    My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

  • Ford 2007 car kit

    Hello,
    I have a Ford Focus with the original Ford car kit (Bluetooth, cradle and Voice Control), and have some questions.
    1st - intermittently, the phone can't connect with the car kit using BT. The solution is to remove the fuse to reset the system or use the ear set and wait for the system to be back! Is there anything I can do to solve the problem?
    2nd - I have a N73 phone and would like to know if there is any way to have the name of the person that is calling me in the radio display instead of the number?
    Thank you,
    Miguel

    Ford issued a tech info regarding connectivity problems with some specific handsets. These include:
    No connection, or unstable connection with many handsets: this can be solved with a software update of the Nokia OEM Ford BT system, performed using the Ford diagnostic tools. Please note that the latest firmware is available ONLY for the latest diagnostic system IDS (qualified repair shops will have the right equipment).
    No Dialing: this affects mainly numbers beginning with "0". It should not affect numbers stored with the int'l area code (+49...+39...). Can be solved with the software update.
    No connection to SonyEricsson SE K800i, Samsing SGH-A990 and Motorola Razr V3
    Empty or Missing dialed/received calls list on Nokia N series handsets. Only "last call redial" is available.
    Keep in mind that...
    _full phonebook access is not possible unless the specific Ford CarKit software is not installed on the phone. This software is not currently available for Symbian S60 3rd edition
    _SIM phonebook access is NOT available for most phones. IT IS available for Nokia S40 Platform
    _dialed / Received calls log is not supported on most SonyEricsson and RIM Blackberry phones. Phonebook access is also limited to 300 entries.
    I'm going to test the update feature as soon as possible on an older unit to see how the unit performs with Nokia N73 handsets.

  • Connecting 6822 to TomTom via Nokia car kit

    I am trying to connect my handset to my TomTom sat nav and can get the two units to connect via Bluetooth, but not if the handset is in the holster, when the Bluetooth connection does not work.
    At a guess, the holster/car kit is not Bluetooth enabled but can anyone confirm this? If so, is my only option to replace the holster?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    i have a saab 93 with a nokia car kit fitted.
    i was using a 6230i but have replaced it with a e65.
    i bought a brodit holder as the e65 would not fit in the old holder(mbc-15s).the cable attaches and the phone shows as been attached to the car and it even charges, but when i use the phone the sound does not come out via the speaker system as before and i cant use the roof microphone neither.
    As soon i re-attach the 6230i the car kit works fully again, including the mic/ speakers.
    I am doing something wrong?............any ideas please?
    I don't drive so I'm going to ask probably what seems like a stupid question to you ....
    Are you using a cable or Bluetooth to connect to the in car kit ?
    If you're using Bluetooth then chances are the system you're currently using is incompatible with the E65 at the moment as the E65 wasn't around when the 6230i was created The good news however is that a fix MAY be available if the vendor has updated the firmware to resolve this.
    If you're using a cable then I would check to see if there's a new cable for use with the E65. According to Nokia you can use the same cable (CA-53) to connect to both the 6230i and the E65 - but that is for phone to PC. Your cable *MAY* be slightly different.

  • Nokia E75 to Nokia bluetooth CK-1W car kit

    Hi Folks,
    have seen several posts aboutbluetooth connectivity between E75 and non-nokia bluetooth devices. I bought a car with a Nokia CK-1W car kit in it.
    Connected beautifully with my wifes Motorola V3 first time no problems.
    Bought myself a new Nokia E75 - connects once to the car kit, then wait for a while and at some point - not long after the power save mode the connection is lost. NOte it is not when the power save kicks in but some time afterwards. I have tried to set "Remote SIM on" but cannot seem to find an answer. I have even checked for the latest firmware this evening and I have the latest version.
    Can any body help or is it to much to ask for one piece of Nokia Kit to connect to another piece of Nokia kit.

    I have same kind of problems between my E75 and MB R-class carkit. First they are connected and few seconds later disconnected. I have lost my nervs...
