Title: mobile phone holder
Post by: spurno on 24 September 2007, 15:03:38

i have a mobile phone holder which is not oem.it is for nokia phones i believe.my friend has tried his phone in the holder and when rung it cuts the radio out.the wiring disappears behind the control panel.does anybody have any idea if you need a different holder for each make of phone or if you can get a universal adapter.i don't really want to touch the wiring unless i have to.

I'm guessing that if it's a Nokia cradle you've either got a Cark-91 or a CK-7W car kit, You won't be able to use anything other than certain Nokia Handsets in the cradle, however, if you have the CK-7W kit (there'll be a little silver nokia button somewhere on the dash) you should be able to connect your phone via bluetooth.

definitely no silver button and i think it won't fit newer nokia handsets.probably safer to just leave it there.it's not really in the way.

I think you will find it`s for the Nokia 6230i :)

Difficult to say what it is or isn't, if it's the old CARK-91 (For 5110, 6110, 7110, 6210, 6310) then you could convert it to bluetooth with this:-

If the CARK91 you can get an adapter which fit's into the cradle, which will accept any pop port Nokia phone.

My Omega has the CARK91, i purchased the cradle of ebay (£11 if i remember right) and my Nokia 6230i just pop's in, will of course take any "Nokia pop port" Phone.

If you want details or picture let me know  :y
