Old type nokia car kit

Polo_Cluvie

Hi guys anybody have an idea if this particular car kit can be modified for use with my s7? I've got the antenna attached to the windscreen, little speaker attached to the roof and this cradle. What I don't have is the nokia button to enable pairing.. Any ideas much appreciated. I'm unable to post a picture keeps coming up file size too large..im trying 🀡

Is it like this...



From memory I think you turn on bluetooth on the phone, turn ignition on (don't start car), press the Nokia logo and then run a search on the phone for the kit, think the default passcode is 0000 or could be 1234.

I don't actually have that button..im thinking old type nokia phone has to be plugged into this particular cradle. I'm unable to post a pic unfortunately

There were 2 types of those Nokia kits around at that time, one with a button & Bluetooth & one without. If yours is the one without the capability to add the button it doesn't have Bluetooth & won't work with your phone.

It's crazy to think that kit was installed in a 08 Mondeo.. I'd say something if it was a 01 or something!!!

There's still people that use them phones.

If there was a way to adapt them it would be great. I can't find anything or anyone local to me at least that could sort it out for me

Being honest you'd replace it with something modern & more suitable for use with your phone for less than the parts to convert it IF they were available.

It's a lost cause.

What system would you suggest? Not expensive say middle of the road..

Check with your local car accessory shop/phone kit installer, they'd be able to give you better advice than me. Where abouts are you based?

I'm in Clare. I was onto a guy this morning in Limerick reckons he can sort out the kit I have with the nokia wheel for about 70e. I'll keep ye posted as to how I get on

Seems a little steep if it takes second hand. That kit is the Nokia ck7w usually.

Now if he's fitting it for you as well that isn't so bad.

A new Nokia ck100 is only around €100

If you want a Nokia wheel, you need to upgrade the control box and then add the wheel. eBay is your best bet for a cheap fix. plug in and play, but will not be compatible with Samsung s6 on and IPhone 5's on, too much of a software glitch, they will work but not be reliable

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Ger in Carcom Limerick sorted it out for 80e. I know it was way too expensive as all he did was remove old phone holder and plug in the nokia wheel. Still it's done now so happy days.
