Problems replacing a nokia 6230i on a BMW 525i

I will try to be brief. Having recently purchased a BMW 525i the car comes with a standard Nokia 62301 I was forced to abandon my Sony Erricsons K700i and P900i as they would not work with the included car kit. The 6230i broke down after 3 months and was replaced under warranty. The problem is the limitations of the 6230i synchronization, first name last name problems etc. 1-Can anyone please advise me on what phone Nokia or any other brand that is compatible with the BMW car kit , that will automatically download the phone book every time I enter the car and which has features equal to or better than the Sony Erricson P900i 2- Is it possible (if one does find such a phone) to change the cradle in the car to charge this new phone. Any assistance Providing IT WORKS would be greatly appreciated. NB BMW were no help at all!!!!!!!!!

Hi calfo, I am sorry to hear BMW were no help to you, but Nokia will be no help to you either, most BMW car kits are not designed for fancy modern phones like your p900, a simple phone like a Nokia 6310i will work a treat. Your best chance is to find a BMW forum where similar owners have already made the mistakes.
sorry we cant help further but this is a very grey area for all of us.

  • Connection problem with my nokia 6230i

    I try to connect my nokia with a nokia cable to my computer. I already did this on my mobile without any problem. When I try to do the same on my desktop I receive the following message :
    there was a problem during the installation of your material nokia 6230i
    this name is already in use as a service name or service name for display.
    What can I do? Thanks for your help

    My guess is you need to reinstall your drivers.
    This is a pain, but not too complicated.
    - first, un-install everything Nokia-related from the PC via Contol Panel - be sure you include the Cable drivers!
    - restart the computer (yes, really)
    - install PC Suite as normal*
    - restart the computer
    * NB: it is VERY important that after you're prompted to plug in the phone during the PC Suite installation, you WAIT until ALL of the drivers are installed.
    This will take AT LEAST 2 or 3 minutes, probably longer.
    If you interrupt this process, you will get your connection problems again.Message Edited by patc on 14-Nov-200702:23 PM

  • Nokia 6230i and Nokia PC Suite

    I have some problems with my Nokia 6230i, because it asks me, if I have to use it as a media (don't know if that is the word, because I'm using the Danish version).
    Can I in anyways do, so my mobile phone (Nokia 6230i) automatically rejects the answer?
    And can I deactive the showing of the synchronization on the mobile phone?

    This is exactly the problem I've been having with PC Suite. I'm glad to find out it's the same with a cable connection before I go out and buy one in an attempt to get some connectivity.
    It looks like the only option 6230i users have is a re-flash, which I understand is going to blank the data already stored in the phone. Nice.
    This is irritating as hell, because the only reason I stayed with Nokia when it came to upgrading my phone was the 'ease' in moving data from one phone to another. I was offered a Motorola RAZR (which comes with a data cable...) but thought this would be easier.
    I guess it shows that the free software supplied by Nokia is worth every penny. Buying a 3rd-party solution seems to be the best answer and will certainly give me better options for my next upgrade.

  • Nokia 6230i Bluetooth problem connecting HELP!!!

    Hi, I have spent the best part of the day trying to establish whether my new nokia 6230i mobile phone that I received for xmas is faulty or is it something I am doing wrong. I just cannot seem to connect to my computer via the Bluetooth or infrared. I have been reading other peoples problems with the same thing on various websites and I thought rather than try and struggle anymore somebody here may be able to help!!! I downloaded to PC suite that came with the phone, and even downloaded a higher version (apparantly a newer one).But my phone just wont connect. I then managed to download - 1.6.1 from http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=607&kind=8
    which seems to be working fine but as soon as i tried to connect it just will not find my connection on my phone. Do i need to buy any other accessories before I can connect?? I might also add that we also tried on my partners laptop and nothing is happening at all.Am i doing something wrong. somebody please tell me if I need to buy extra USB ports before using this feature. Although being Bluetooth I thought this was wireless?? Also any recommendations on how to use the infrared would be great to. Sorry to drag this on - i am not new to phones as i have had many but this has got me stumped. Thanks in advance for any help. Dawnie33

    If your Bluetooth solution is Bluesoleil, I would firstly update your Nokia PC Suite to latest version, 6.70.22 from www.nokia.com/pcsuite ( I don't recall by heart what was the level of BlueSoleil support in PC Suite 6.5, but it can be that your problem is partly related to BlueSoleil not being officially supported with that old version of PC Suite (6.5).
    Then the next thing is to look around for intructions how you make sure that if you have Windows Xp SP 2 (which has microsoft own Bluetooth sw solution that easily "fights" with any other Bluetooth sw), how you make the Bluesoleil work in your PC flawlessly.
    Google is good help for that, search for links like: "BlueSoleil sw problem in XP SP2" or similar and look for instruction how you make sure you only have BlueSoleil sw in active use.

  • GPRS Connection problem with Nokia 6230i

    Hi All,
    I am using the GPRS activated Vodafone sim for Nokia 6230i.
    I am not able to access the GPRS connection from my J2me application, it’s always shows me that "Subscribe GPRS first" but its already activated.
    When i change the sim & checked with nokia N-72, my application started working fine & able to make the proper http communication.
    What could be the problem?
    Do i need to do some extra settings for Nokia 6230i?
    Is Nokia 6230i having some problem while accessing HttpCommunication ?
    Please suggest me.

    Getting a gprs connection on series 40 phones is very difficult. You first need to create your own access point based on the gprs settings for the network you are using. You do this in settings -> Configuration -> Personal configuration settings -> add new
    I use the settings from
    http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
    When you have entered in the data, press back and select preferred access point and select the one you created.
    I think then you should be able to use gprs in your application
    I test with google maps

  • No alert is displayed; also problem with Nokia 6230i

    Hi everyone.
    I have quite a simple piece of code, like:
    Alert al = new Alert(.....);
    al.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
    display.setCurrent(al);
    showMainForm();showMainForm() is another function which displays, say, a List or Form - again by using display.setCurrent() method.
    When I run my program in the emulator, no alert comes up at all! If I add a debugging code (e.g. System.out.println("Show alert");) - the text is printed - but I am still unable to see the alert - the showMainForm() function is immediately called and the next form/list is displayed.
    I also have a problem with deploying my applications onto Nokia 6230i - when I try to install the jar file, packaged by WTK, onto the phone, and then launch it - the phone comes up with an error message 'Invalid application' - although the program perfectly runs in the emulator.
    MIDP and CLDC are both set to version 1.0.

    Hi. Thanks for replying to my post.
    Unfortunately calling Thread.sleep() doesn't achieve much: the application just freezes for 5 seconds - still no alert is displayed. I searched through this forum - many people came across this problem. For several of them it disappeared randomly, the rest suggested that this was a bug in Sun's SDK... Is Sun doing anything about it? Is there a definite solution to this problem at all?

  • Nokia 6230i Mp3 Player Problem

    Well Fair enough, I put some music onto my mobile from the Pc Suite and plugged in the nokia headphones (That Came With The Mobile)
    It only played out the right Speaker(Ear) Why>?? So i looked for awhile for an option that could switch it to sterio or something, No option found for that. Has anyone had this problem before or know how to fix it?
    I tested multiple files onto the mobile. All in .mp3 format
    Using a Nokia 6230i
    Since: December, 2006.

    Itprotj
    It is indeed a bit difficult to know exactly whats the problem since the phone not with me. However only thing I suggest that ensure that you have copied the file that is fully compatible to play on 6230i. IF you still feel you have copied the right file the option left now is to visit a Nokia Care

  • Nokia 6230i Connectivity Problem

    Hello,
    i am using a Nokia 6230i and cannot connect to the nokia PC suite. The problem appears since updating to the version 6.86.9.0.
    Before this the connection worked fine.
    I can pair the phone with the PC, but when it should authorize i have to enter the password and then the phone asks "Data exchange with PC"? After confirming i get an error message Bluetooth connection failed.
    I am working with windows XP SP2, the connection is over bluetooth (WIDCOMM).
    I also reinstalled the nokia pc suite - but nothing cahnged.
    I see there are a lot of analog problems in the forum, but no solution. Anyone who knows solution ?

    Check that your Widcomm bluetooth drivers are compatible, you may have to download updated ones from them.

  • Bluetooth connection problem with nokia 6230i

    Hi I am having troubles establishing a Bluetooth connection between my Nokia 6230i and my Dell Latitude laptop running on Windows XP SP2 when trying to use Nokia PC Suite. When using the nokia suite connection wizard it establishes a connection for a fraction of a second and then disconnects.
    The following information may be useful??
    Windows XP Pro SP2
    Nokia PC Suite 6.5.12
    Microsoft BT Stack 5.1.2600.2180
    WIDCOMM BT Stack 3.0.1 build 803
    Can any one help please??
    Thanks

    You could try uninstalling the Widcomm Bluetooth and relying only on Microsoft + PC Suite 6.6.18 from http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

  • 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

  • PC Suite and Nokia 6230i no supported

    I cannot down load the contacts folder names from my upgraded Nokia 6230i either by USB bluetooth or through a USB DKU-2 cable. My previous Nokia 6230 shook hands and transferred with ease in either connectivity. In the present set up, PC Suite refuses to download (though it recognises that the phone is connected) and puts up an error message saying the phone does not support the PC Suite software. I have downloaded the latest version of PC Suite, rebooted everything often, and even been give a replacement phone by O2 who thought (wrongly) that it was a 'one-off' error in the original phone. For information, the widows browser allows data, music and photo files to be downloaded but, of course, gives no route into the contacts folder which I seek.

    This is exactly the problem I've been having with PC Suite. I'm glad to find out it's the same with a cable connection before I go out and buy one in an attempt to get some connectivity.
    It looks like the only option 6230i users have is a re-flash, which I understand is going to blank the data already stored in the phone. Nice.
    This is irritating as hell, because the only reason I stayed with Nokia when it came to upgrading my phone was the 'ease' in moving data from one phone to another. I was offered a Motorola RAZR (which comes with a data cable...) but thought this would be easier.

  • Nokia 6230i Mouthpiece Volume When Using Headset

    Hi When you're listening to music using a headset attached to the Nokia 6230i, what do you do when you want to answer a call? If I leave the headset plugged in, I can hear the person calling me fine, but they can't hear me very well and I sound very distant. However it seems very awkward to try and unplug the headset quickly when you receive a call, in order to talk to somebody. I was curious to know if anyone else has this problem, and if you do, what do you do when answering your phone? Many Thanks. trace

    You didn't mention make/model of your headset. Some headsets have a button to accept a call and a microphone mounted very close to this button. You could hold the button/microphone close to your mouth. Thank you so much for that embedded_system.I feel like such an utter idiot!
    I hadn't realised that there was a button and microphone on my headset.
    I've just tried it and you've solved my problem instantly.
    Thanks again

  • Download failure to Nokia 6230i

    I have a Nokia 6230i, with firmware V03.70.
    I cannot download wallpapers, video clips & some ringtones. I have tried different sources for the content, ie vodafone live, monstermob, but I receive the same error message - 'Downloading failed'.
    I've been sent a new sim - no difference. I have been sent 3 new Nokia 6230i's from Vodafone - no difference. I tried my sim in a Nokia 6230i with firmware V03.3 and it downloads fine.
    This is quite a major issue now, can you help?
    Many thanks,
    Rick

    First about PC Suite 6.7 functionality:
    With PC Suite 6.7 it is still possible to both make a backup from phone and restore the backupfile back to same phone model AS WELL AS transfer data between different phone models. With new version of PC Suite these both functions have been combined to one operation: so first PC Suite makes a backup-file and then reads another "transfer-file" incase the restore is done later to different phone model.
    The "transfer-file" is more limited in content due to the fact that phones are different.
    Then to the original problem:
    If you still have the old phone available, you should use PC Suite 6.7 backup function with 6230 and then you can transfer to 6230i.
    If you made a backup only with older PC Suite, then it is not possible to move the backup to 6230i.
