Nokia N95 GPS - 616 Car Kits

When i use the GPS on my N95 - if it connnectd to the car kit the voice navigation does not come on - i have to diconnect from the kit to use GPS properly. If i use the remote sim option it mute the radio at all times until i close the nagivation application. Any suggestions

Looks to be a problem with a lot of car kits... many don't do the bluetooth audio thing - tho they do phone calls fine (different profiles I guess...)
So when you pair the phone to the car you loose the Nav voice because the phone is trying to pass all things audio over the bluetooth link - even if the car doesn't know what to do with it..
Leaving you in the position where calls work fine but voice nav is lost...
It'd be nice if we could leave the nav using the phone speakers and the calls using the bluetooth car kit... it might be a bit of a compromise but at least it would keep us legal whilst driving and still allow the use of the maps.. after all where better to use a nav app than in a car???
Pity Nokia seemed to have missed this one....

  • Can't connect or reset Nokia 616 car kit

    I've just bought a used car which has Nokia 616 Car kit fitted. I can't connect as either user and I can't get to the infamous standby screen to get into the menu to do a reset of the settings. I've tried holding down the "hang up" button to get to the screen but nothing.
    I really would like to get this piece of kit working as I will find it very useful.
    Any help is very appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ant

    Not sure myself, but tyr disconnecting the power from the kit as I think that will reset it.
    If not go into the bluetooth menu of the kit and reset it
    Please see the attached link with the instruction book

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • Connection lost between Nokia 616 Car Kit and a No...

    I recently upgraded from a Nokia 9300 to an E71, but retained my Nokia 616 Car Kit. The Nokia website confirms that the E71 and 616 are compatible. My E71 has been paired with the 616 and configured as User 1 in remote SIM mode. The E71 Bluetooth settings have been set up so that it will connect automatically, without asking authorisation every time.
    The E71 connects to the car kit without a problem, when the car is started, but often looses the connection during the trip. The 616 will then display “Connection Lost”, followed by the request “Reconnect to User 1?”. Strangely the black “User 1” phone icon is still displayed in the top right-hand corner of the 616 display. When I push the Navi Wheel it attempts to reconnect, but every time it comes back with the message “User 1 Not Found”, despite the fact that the phone has not been moved and is still less than 1m from the 616 controller. I can only reconnect after the vehicle had been switched off and restarted, i.e. when the 616 reboots.
    Why does it frequently loose connection? A number of times I have noticed that it looses connection when I drive through an area with no or a very weak cell phone signal. I don’t think the cell phone signal strength should have an effect on the Bluetooth connection between phone and car kit.
    Why won’t it re-connect? I can’t stop and switch off the car every time the connection is lost!
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi, I have bought a car with this equipment and I have the same problem.
    I tried following:
    PAIRING:
    - first from the phone discover Bluetooth accessories - it will find the N616
    - enter the code to the phone
    - N616 ask for the same code as you enter to the phone - enter it
    After this, the phone is paired, but not connected.
    CONNECTING:
    - then set up Bluetooth in the phone as visible
    - try connect (as user 1 or user 2) from N616 to the phone - you do not need to specify which phone has N616 to find - it will find your phone if it is visible (one step before)
    - if everything is OK, your phone is connected
    - you can access the menu, reset N616 to factory settings - but you need to make all steps again
    This list works for me, any other steps not...

  • 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...

  • E60 with 616 car kit

    I am trying to pair the E60 phone with the 616 car kit in sim access mode. The phone and car kit go through the pairing process and generate the 16 digit code. The pairing completes on the phone but then the car kit requests a further pin code. Whatever code is then input is incorrect.
    Has anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong.
    I have successfully paired a 6230i in this way but with the E60 I can only get it to pair in handsfree mode and not sim access mode.

    The pin its asking for is your sim card pin number as the 616 car kit takes over as the phone so it needs the pin to access the sim card correctly. Same as if you stick your sim card in another phone. See page 20 of the user manualMessage Edited by krytens4000 on 06-Oct-2006

  • 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.

  • Nokia N95 - GPS dos not work & Barcode Scan not wo...

    Hi.. I have Nokia N95 (N95-1 by user manual) - device firmware soft version
    11.0.026
    17-04-07
    RM-159
    Nokia N95(05.01)
    When i try use "GPS position" application or "Maps" it's dos not work. All ways i see - "no connected" in status (in my home, in street and other open places). In all times that i'am user my N95 only one time by command "Satellites State" y have screen with 2 satellite (~5second) and other time allways "No Data or No Connected Satellites".
    Q: Whats the problem - it's that Qaulite(or Strong) of GPS(for that needed like it GPS)? or it's defect and GPS must work avrever (and home, and on street)
    When i try use application "Barcode Reader" - it's no one times dos not readed barcode? Only try? and try, and try... all times?
    Q: Why dos not work? who see worked "Barcode reader"?
    Thank to ALL..
    (with love from Russia)
    Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

    First of all , you should update to the newest firmware (v20). If you can of course, for some network branded phones update is not available yet.
    As for GPS, first fix is taking a long time (5 to 10 minutes).
    In v12 and above A-GPS (assisted GPS) was added to speedup the process. It's using data connection for initial lock.
    And make sure you're not covering tha hash key, that's where GPS reciever is. It will get a fix, just be patient because it will take some time.
    Barcode reader is not for reading normal barcodes (like on products). It's used for Nokia's mobilecodes. You can check it here

  • Nokia 6230i and VW Car Kit

    Hi all,
    I have recently bought a mk.5 golf with factory fit car kit and sat nav. I thought this was a good idea as all the warranty work and problems with it then point to VW!!!
    However, a few days after recieving the car my phone went pear shaped, so i had it exchanged by Vodafone. Found that the software version has also been upgraded on it.
    Since my new phone it hasn't worked in the kit. Other 6230's and 6230i's do!!
    Anyone else had this problem?? it does some really strange things!!!!
    Grrrrrr........
    Thanks

    Well after many phone calls trying to sort this problem, it appeared to be a Software problem on the phone!!
    Nokia are always doing things to improve their phones, but sometimes it just makes it worse.
    My old phone was running software version 3.62 i have recently upgraded to phone running v3.70 and all is ok again!!
    Must have been a temporary glitch in the software.
    Hope this helps all!!

  • 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...

  • Nokia N95 GPS Navigation

    Dear All,
    I am James and recently bought a Nokia N95. It comes with GPS Navigation but not sure how it works. Looked in the user manual but still not idea of how to work it. I have played around with it and downloaded Google Maps but find it difficult to get a reception.
    I want to know how to download maps onto it, what connection is needed and how it actually works?
    Any ideas?
    regards
    James

    Hi,
    I'm just back from the US were i used the GPS a good bit. like most GPS's, Navigation on the N95 told me to turn right then left on on straight roads with intersections (watch out for this, always look at the map before turning as you'll see that the route line is straight on screen), sent me down bizarre side roads, never went the same route to a place as it did going back (very strange), but other that that was very handy.
    The one major bug I'd like to report is in v20 of the firmware (can't say for others versions), despite disabling network communication in the settings, the phone would still startup my GPRS data pack connection while roaming. Even when I set it to use Wi-Fi, it still made a connection over GPRS. I work out it cost me about a €10 in unnecessary data charges. Easy test to see if you get the same problem: Startup Maps and say no to data usage, exit or Press Menu, Tools, Log. You should see that a Data pack connection was initiated at the same time you started the Maps App. The only way around this I found was to set the phone to offline mode. But you might as well buy a proper GPS if this is the only solution.
    Good luck!
    I had exactly the same problem. Once activated, network mode could not be turned off and it cost me around $50 in a day and a half.
    As soon as I tried to shut it down in Maps>Options, it either shut down maps or rebooted my phone.
    Keep network support off, is my recommendation.
    To cure the problem, I had to reload my firmware and software...everything but settings. If you reload settings, you reload the problem.
    I spend hours today doing just that. Settings are probably the least important part of my phone history so it wasn't too big of a deal and the effort was totally worth it to save me mega cash while using maps.

  • Nokia 6230i and Mercedes car kit

    Help.
    My phone is no longer working in my mercedes command car kit. If I fiddle with it it does intermittently pick up but does not charge it and often does not work properly eg unable to close a call. I've asked Mercedes to check the kit and apparently it's not a problem with the command system or phone cradle. The advice I've been given is that it could be the software or the charge block in the phone. Has anyone had a similar experience or can give advice. Thanks.

    Hi mhickman
    The PopPort connector on the bottom of the phone is notorious, but you could try cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser which may improve matters. As this is not a Bluetooth connectivity matter, I don't think software is implicated in this issue.
    If you ever want to upgrade your phone you can change UHI cradle from 6230i to a 6310i one which you could probably find cheaply on Ebay and use a ViseeO MU-1000 Bluetooth module which fits in the cradle.
