Nokiia 6230i & Car Kit CK-7W

I have had so many problems getting the phone to pair with the car kit.
I sent the car kit back and got a replacement but same problem, phone finds the kit but "bluetooth connection failed" or "pairing failed"
But problem solved after holding the button on the remote, with the ignition on, then turning the ignition off whilst still holding the button.
Wait a few moments, and turn ignition on again and do search with phone.
Cured my problems and hope it might help someone else.

6230i CAR KIT PROBLEM

Hi All,
I have recently bought a car with a Nokia cak kit.
Part nos;
HFU-4
AX-15S
MBC-15S
Which, from my limited internet ability, understand amounts to a CARK-126 kit.
I purchased a Nokia 6230i,which I understand works with this kit, but when I connect the phone I get the message 'Enhancement not supported'.
I have cleaned the connectors with an eraser, but to no avail.
Please can anyone shed some light on the matter.
Many thanks

The message "Enhancement not supported" suggests a compatibility problem, and from the Nokia website I could not fnd CARK-126. Where did you find out that this car kit works with the Nokia 6230i? Was the source reliable?
If it turns out that this car kit is not compatible and you do want to intall one into your car, use the Nokia website to find a suitable replacement for the CARK-126

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 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.

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

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.

Car kit for 6500 from 6230i

I have the now old cark 126 great holds and charges the phone even has an arial. It seems what ever I do now with my new phone is a backward step. I am begining to think I should have kept my 6230i instead of changing to the 6500c.
I hope one of you can help with the following issues.
1 Which hands free kit should I use?
2 Is there a cradle available?
3 What about charging the phone ?
4 arial ?

The only option you have is to change your car kit, Nokia only do bluetooth car kits for 6500 classic. Look at Nokia ck-15w or ck-7w, your phone will work with other brands of bluetooth kits like Parrot or THB Bury.

CAR KIT 6310i - ADAPT FOR 6230i?

I have a professionally fitted Nokia car kit for a 6310i - fitted about 5 years old.
Is there a simple way to adapt this for my new 6230i either wired-in or bluetooth?
Would be grateful for any advice from car kit experts out there

This may not work, if your 6310i car kit has old software then it will not work with 6230i, it will say 'enhacement not supported', if you do buy the above items make sure you can return them if they do not work. The only other solution is to buy a new CK-7W car kit which dosn't cost that much more for the bits and is guarenteed to work with your phone and future phones hopefully. The choice is yours.

Nokia Car Kit compatibility

I have just updated from a 6610i to a 6230i and was told by my service provider that the new phone was comatible with my 12 month old car kit.
When I received the new phone I had the error message "enhancement not supported" when I phoned my service provider I was informed that a CA55 cable would do the trick. I contacted Nokia before buying the cable and was told this cable would not work, in fact there was not any other phone that would work with the phone kit I have. I feel a bit agreived that the car kit is now rendered useless, having had it for only 12 months.
Check with the phone provider about compatibility before changing your phone rather than rely on your service providers information.....

I assumed, but shouldn't have, that because I had the kit fitted at a reputable auto electricians, that because the phone holster was a Nokia that the rest of the kit would also be Nokia. When I removed the main box of the kit I found that it was not a Nokia part. I have now got a proper Nokia kit and this works fine, although not bluetooth I got it at a good price, so it should be good for 12 months till my next upgrade. Next time I'll not assume!!!!

Car Kit problem with 6680

Can anybody please assist me!
I have a CK-7W car kit which I have been successfully using until recently with a 6230i. Last week my phone was upgraded to a 6680 and was supplied through work with the CR-27 cradle. However, when this is connected to the existing cradle connector, I get the message 'enhancement not supported' on the phone.
Any suggestions?Message Edited by phill_a on 15-Jan-2006

Ok.
I have now tried the CK-7W with my wife's Nokia 6100, just using the pop-port cable and it has similar problems;
1. It thinks it is connected to a headset, not a car kit.
2. The radio stays on "phone" mode.
I didn't actually try making a call on it, but it seems odd that the problems are similar with another phone.
With my 6680 and the CK-7W, the phone works fine via bluetooth, but again, thinks it is connected to a headset, not a car kit.
When I connect through the pop-port cradle (CR-27) the radio stays on "phone" mode and the phone thinks it is connected to a headset. If I try to make a call, the sound is terrible, with loads of echo and feedback.
Also, while I can "see" my HDW-2, I am unable to actually pair with it.
What do I do?
I have bought the genuine Nokia accessories, and this phone seems unable to work with them. Plus the CK-7W seem unable to connect to either my 6680 or 6100 via pop-port.
What can be the problem?
I am really annoyed with what is supposed to be a high quality product.
Perhaps someone will respond?

Car kit problem HFU-5 control box

I recently installed my car kit for my nokia 6230i and it worked great no problems.... now my radio is on constant mute and the phone is not connecting up when I put it on the cradle.........any suggestions

The car kit may be frozen. Try disconnecting the power to it for a short time to reset it. That may work. If it is too difficult to disconnect the power, disconnect the car battery instead.

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.

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...

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 kit for 6210 Navigator

I've just upgraded from a 6230i, for which I have a Cark126 car kit, to the 6210 Navigator. I can't find anything like my current car kit for the Navigator. I really wanted to just plug the phone into a cradle and have it immediately charge and connect to the car's handsfree.
What do you all think is the best way to go 'hands-free' in the car, with my new phone? My hubby says he's capable of wiring a hands-free kit if it's straightforward but that he's no car or electronics expert!

Both the CK-100 and CK-300 have a charging cable coming from the control unit.
The charging cable plugs into the bottom of the cradle and then every time you put the phone in the cradle, it will be on charge and held legally. The actual connection to the car kit itself is over wireless Bluetooth.
If your car has aux in on the stereo system then the CK-300 is the all singing, all dancing option as you can operate more controls of the phone from the control button of the car kit AND have music from the phone playing through the car stereo PLUS a 3.5mm jack that you can connect an IPod to.
However you do not have aux in, the CK-100 will give a good simple solution and still give you the wireless music option but played directly through the car speakers.
