n73 car kit

rymus

Got an upgrade to an N73 and now need to find some way of connecting it to the car kit. I've got a CK-7W and I know I could use bluetooth but I really dont want to. I want the phone to charge when in the car too without having to go to the bother of getting a seperate lighter socket charger.

Has anyone here got any experience with either the brodit active holder that connects to the CK-7W cable or any other solutions to sort my problem? Cheers

The cradle for the 3230 should work ,cannot remember the model, but I have one if you want it, just sold my car and removed the cradle from it but it worked fine with the CARK 26 kit.

Currently Nokia solution is the universal holder http://www.nokia.ie/accessorieslink?s=N73 ... The bRodit is probably as good as any other available...

was thinking of getting either the brodit or the 3230 cradle alright, just can't make a decision on either. I've called around to a couple of the local installers in the hope they'd have a brodit kit for sale but all they can seem to recommend is using bluetooth.

I wonder if the Brodit holder would work if the pop port connector from a cark 126 was plugged into it?
Anyone know?

Dunno... cant see why not. I got the brodit holder today in the post. Installed it in under 5 mins, worked perfectly with the pop port connector and on the existing cradle mount. Happy days

Sounds great!
So your N73 is held in the Brodit cradle, and you have your existing CARK-126 connected to the cradle? Is it all working correctly, i.e. the speaker, mic etc?

Cheers!

well I have a CK-7W but yep, once I put the phone in the cradle it charges and interfaces with the car kit as expected. Can make and take calls and if anything, the sound is a bit clearer than with the nokia cradle I had for my previous phone.

Hmmmm, I wonder if there is much difference (if any) in the connections in the pop port between the 7W and 126 kit?
