Swap 6310i car kit phone cradle to N95 cradle?

Hi, i recently bought a volvo c70 2000 'X' reg which has the in car 6310i phone cradle and mic etc which all works through my car stereo. Is it possible to swap this over to work for my N95 keeping all the wiring, speakers, mic etc and just change the cradle and plugs? Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

There is no cradle adaptor for this to work but you could try this http://www.solware.co.uk/mobile-phone-car-kits/bluetooth-car-kit-convertor.shtml This will sit in the cradle and convert the kit to bluetooth.Or you could buy a new kit, you will still be able to use the speaker wiring, any good engineer will be able to sort this out.

Upgrade a Nokia 6310i car kit to a new Nokia?

I bought a car with a car kit installed which fitted a Nolia 6310i. I then bought a CARK 91 kit so I could use my Nokia 3410. I want to upgrade my phone to something like a N96 or even a Samsung or Sony Ericsson, however do I need to have my car kit taken out and a new one installed, or can they just replace the handset holder?

The cark-91 is not upgradeable to work with any of the phones you listed, As Okinawa has mentioned above, click the link to view all the new Nokia car kits, there new kits will work with any of the phones you have listed.

6310i car kit

Hi
Am just in the process of swapping cars and would like to take my car kit with me - the current car is being scrapped so can pull out the wires if needs be.
Love my 6310 and refuse to go to Bluetooth so if anyone has any ideas about where I can get additional wires and an installation guide for this car kit I would be most grateful.
Dannyboy - hope you might have the answer judging by your experience?!

I discussed wiring diagram on the above earlier thred, If you remove everything carefully you should not need any more parts, you may want to contact a local cellular engineer to do the job, it may be quicker and safer also he will have any extra parts you may need.
Good Luck.

Nokia 610 Car kit / phone

Hi, I have a 610 car kit and would like to buy a new phone, dose any body have a list of compatible bluetooth phones?

Long and short of it, good luck with your new phone. Nokia have still gone without explanation as to why their 6280 and later phones would not operate with the 610 despite the fact that the handsets do support Bluetooth Remote SIM Access mode. Seems like the moderators here are quicker to delete a controversial topic than to explain the decisions they make.
If you had a 616 and Nokia pulled the same stunt in the future, you would at least have a good chance of the newer phone working in normal handsfree mode as opposed to SIM access. Some 6280 users have reported that they have been able to get the 610 kit to work with it but that's blind luck considering Nokia insist that the 6280 is not compatible with the 610.
My best advice to you with your current setup is to ask the salesman if you can both go to your vehicle and test the phone's compatibility. If it functions, then you're onto a winner. If not, buy a 616 kit, change over the display unit and main unit (the display unit may look the same, but its firmware isn't) and then eBay the 610!
I'm just glad I bought a 616 from the get go.

Audi car kit- phone will not recognise!

I have just recieved an Audi A3 with manufacturer car kit installed. The delivery driver could connect with his phone, don't know what type.
When I tried my 6301- nothing.
Bluetooth was on.
Ignition was on, and off and on again!
any suggestions?

Hi I also have same problems with my Range Rover. if you go onto the Audi website they may tell you what phones/ software are avilable for your car model. My 6300 keeps dropping calls as the software on my new phone has been updated and nokia cannot give me the old software to make them compatible !!!

Upgrading a Car Kit from Nokia 6310i to Nokia 6680

I drive a Mercedes E320 which has a fitted car kit which takes a Nokia 6310i in a cradle. This works very well and is integrated to the car radio etc, it is not a Mercedes kit as it does not integrate to the Mercedes Command System (i.e. I can not push the button on the steering wheel to answer calls etc). I think it is Nokia Car Kit but I can not be sure as it is hidden under stacks of plastic and leather and it will be a devil of a job just to find the box.
Last year I upgraded to a Nokia 6680 (my trusty 6310i having decided to retire) and given the law on use of phone in cars I thought it about time I put a new car kit in the Merc, (I cant do with things in my ears, so headsets are out of the question). I have bought a CK-7W and the cradle for the 6680 but as it is going to be a difficult job to locate and replace the whole system (or expensive if I have the dealer do it) the question I want to ask is simple. Is it possible to just CUT the cables between the different cradles and thereby join the new 6680 cradle to the existing 6310i car kit, (I am quite proficient with a soldering iron and heat shrink tubing). OK, I know this is a bit Heath Robinson but if it will work then it will save me a whole load of time and inconvenience, or a whole stash of money as I don’t relish the thought of ripping out a Mercedes dashboard just to find the car kit
If it is possible does anyone know the cable colours (if they are not the same, between 6310i and 6680).
Thanks
David

Hi
The new cradle (CA27) will not work with the old car kit (assuming its the CARK-91).
But If you can locate the CARK-91 control box behind the dash (my guess is that it will be near the radio of behind the glove box), there is no need for cutting/ joining of wires.
Autoleads make an adaptor from the old Nokia 6-pin to the new 4-pin connector.
Its simply then a case of replacing the phone cradle, replacing the control box with CK-7W, swapping the other connectors (mic, speaker), plugging in the converter, and away you go.
Search for "06-208B Autoleads Adaptors" in Google for the converter (be careful - there is another adaptor that is 4-pin to 6-pin

N95 and Car Kit

I have been seeing different posts around regarding car kit solutions for the N95. Most people are saying to install the Nokia CK-7W but this doesn't seem perfect as you need a separate cradle and charging system + you still need to end a call by pressing the red button on the phone.
Has anyone come across any kits that are better for the N95 yet?
M

Sadly not, the best option for you would be the new CK-300 which is pretty much the same price as the CK-15W (maybe cheaper)
There is a file you load on to the N95 and then the screen of the phone becomes the display. This is all controlled by the navi wheel (which is much nicer than the CK-15W one)
Because the contacts are already on the phone there is need to download them across anywhere. Plus the CK-300 has a lead that will charge the phone, and (if your car stereo has aux in) will also allow the N95 stream music over Bluetooth. You can even attach an Ipod to it.
PM Me if you want any more info on this kit.

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:
Display
1 - Mini-DVI (VGA, Composite and S-video with adapter)
But you may need to upgrade its OS X version at least to Snow Leopard.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

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.

Info on car kit

hi there, i'm hoping that you might be able to help. i'm not a user of an in car kit so i'm a bit dumb when it comes to them... (i'm possibly assuming that they are more complicated than they actually are!)
my father in-law has a nokia 3120 and has asked us to find him a replacement phone (he doesn't want or need anything too fancy). we've been looking at the 6230i, the only snag is that he has recently purchased a new car which has an in car kit already built in and by chance this happens to fit the old phone & he wants to keep it. we dont know what model the car kit is (it has a cradle & you just plug in and talk) so i'm not sure whether the 6230i is compatible or not.
can anyone advise as i'm not really sure whether to start!
thanks

I think you have a cark-132 or 134 because the the 3120 has a headphone socket and power socket on the bottom and will work with these kits although the phone is not a perfect fit. Unfortunatly there is not new phones that will fit in this car kit, sorry.

CR-23 car kit info required please

Hello, can anyone help a technophobe please? I have bought a car with a CR-23 cradle fitted. I know this covers the 6020 and 6021 phones, but is it possible to simply plug in any other cradles to allow me more options of phone models? If so which models can I choose from? Any info on car kit/phone interchangeability would be appreciated. Thanks Ian

Yes you can change the cradle to any nokia phone that supports pop port connection, hopefully you will have a ck-7w car kit if not you may be in trouble. Have a look at the phone accesories for the phone you have and see if there is a cradle available or let us know your phone.

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?

Existing Nokia Car Kit MCC4 & N95 8GB phone

Hi,
I've bought a car with embedded Nokia Car Kit MCC4, which was designed for old Nokia 3310 & 3330 phones. I have Nokia N958GB.
Can I use the existing connectors (with adequate adapters of course) and expect that I can use the car kit as expected?
I was planing to use existing wires and make some changes:
1. HOLDER: replace the phone holder with one taht fits my new phone
2. CHARGER: plug in charger adapter to fit new standard
3. AUDIO: plug in 2,5mm female to 3,5mm male stereao audio jack adapter
Thanks.

Thanks for you interest. I'll inform you abaout all I discover about this little hack.
For now, I have difficulties to find the audio cable adapter in my country (prety rare in Serbia).
This is it:
http://www.amazon.com/Female-Adapter-Accessories-Electronics-Computers/dp/B000RHMO96
or:
http://www.tangshop.com/35mm-to-25mm-adapter.html
Leastways I'll make that adapter by hand, or combine few elements to derive the wishing one
Best regards,
Vladimir Stefanovic

Audi Car Kit N95

i currently have an audi with a built in car kit the adapter is a Cullmann Nokia 6230 / 6230i. however i do not have this phone nor wish to get one. after much searching but to no avail, i was wondering if anyone knew whether i can just get a N95 adapter to fit onto my exsiting kit?
Cheers

Hi gav1n11
I think that automotive interests of www.cullmann.de have been taken over and it is now trading under another name. Adaptors were available for various 62** and 63** phones. I know some people leave a 6230i in the cradle as although discontinued new ones are still around and transfer calls to the car. I was under the impression that a bluetooth adapter could be utilized but "dannyboy" on the forum whom is a fitting specialist could probably offer you better advice.
