Hi all
I have an Orange SPV M600, and a Nokia carkit. I would like them both to work together.
Has anyone ever done this? I'm assuming it's a case of getting a cradle for the M600 from a proper M600 car kit and modifying it to work with the existing wiring?
I don't want to take the existing kit out to fit a new one, as the cabling for the mic goes through the headlining and that would be a pain. I'd rather use the existing if possible? Does an M600 car kit exist?
Thanks for any advice.

Hi there,
I am having the exact same problem using a mda copact and nokia ck-1w bluetooth in car kit. I have posted a in the magicain upgrading forum about this issue. Someone suggested to try and upgrade the rom and radio version but I havent had a chance to try this out. They are using the same devices but are not having any issues.
Hi,
Does anybody know, or has anybody tested, the I-Mate JAMin (etc) in the THB Bury car cradle for the I-Mate JAM? The dimensions of the two devices are the same, and the USB, headphone socket, and external antenna connector all look to be in the same place.
Just wondering if anybody has tried this setup.
Cheers

THB Jam kit
It doesn't work out of the box. There are some grooves on top of the JAM that aren't on the JAMin and that's what the THB kit uses to retain the JAM. You may be able to adapt it. I'm using the THB Blueadapter and it works well, albeit without the external aerial connection.
I am using my THB Bury Jam cradle, and can confirm that it works fine.
Although it does not seem to engage the aerial connection as well as it did with the Jam, on my S200 the connection seems to be slightly higher, only possibly by half a mm.
You also need to use the additional self extracting file from THB to get the hands free.
Also the annoying echo is no longer there that I got with my Jam.
Hope this helps.

Interesting
I must have another look, unless there is a subtle difference between the JAMin and S200 cases. It certainly didn't seem to work that well in the shop, with the little bumps deforming the case. Thanks
Interesting
On my S200 the two little grabs on the THBury holder seem to sit nicely where the SD card recess is. Please see attached.
Cheers

This is a thread from a while back. Has anyone been using the Bury car cradle (on their website they show it as the MDA compact holder).
I'm still looking for a real (complete) carkit (not just a cradle with loading capability) and so far this is the only one I can find. I really don't want to combine a cradle with a BT speaker system.
Works with minor tweaks
I have the THB Uni8 cradle for the MDA compact running with my neo.
I only had to do some minor "dremeling" do not get my neo scratched when removing and mounting it again and agian. It is just a five minute job, even if you have two left hands like me.
Hi people,
Currently I use a THB Bury Take & Talk DSP car kit, with a cradle for the XDA IIs (Blue Angel). I have a Mini S (Wizard) aswell that I want to use with the car kit, and essentially replace the old XDA IIs. I have found a cradle that fits this car kit on the o2 website, the only problem with this is that the current wired GPS I use will not work with this cradle of the Mini S in fact.
Ideally I'm looking for a Bluetooth GPS that is powered in the car. Can be through the cigarette lighter but ideally could be mounted in the car and maybe wired into the same powerbox as the car kit? Anyone know of a solution like this or similar?
Many thanks,
Andy.
There's a thread discussing this in Wizard Accessories entitled "What's the best GPS setup???" and a post which describes an application like the one you want.
Go play in the right forum.
Hope this helps!
Yes if you go here

its a nice tomtom style cradle with power output for a bluttooth GPS via RJ11 connector lead (supplied free) and 3 mounting options (included) for a princely sum of £25 i had one for my 2i and it was excellent. the mechanical arm gave no vibrations at all.

I've just got a Orange SPV M3100 and paired it with my BMW OEM bluetooth carkit, all goes fine and paired no problems.
It manages to connect to the phone and display contact details on the radio display and make calls.
But leaving it a couple of hours and coming back, the phone will not reconnect back to the car. I've tried resetting the phone without success.
The only way to get the connection back is to re-pair the devices.
I had a Imate Jamin before and it worked without a problem, connects every time.
Is anyone else experiencing problems with their carkits?
Do you think the problem is specific to the Orange ROM, would flashing it to a Imate or TyTN ROM help or resolve the problem?
Any advice would be greatly appricated.
Hi, I got a problem similar like yours...
I´m from Spain and I have an ´06 Opel Astra(Vauxhall in UK) with the BT handsfree carkit from factory.
If I make a hard reset to my Vodafone S200 (Orange SPV M600) and leave the machine with the factory settings it works fine with the carkit, but it recognice the carkit like a headset handsfree. But if i restore a back up with the TomTom 6 installed... wow, then start the problems... the handsfree conect with the S200 but after a few seconds the connection is over...
I don´t know if have you got some kind of navigation system, but in my case the problems starts when I install the TomTom... I´m sure it changes some drivers of the BT and this makes the don´t works propertly.
I don´t know what to do...
PArrot Car Kit
I have the same problem with Parrot Car Kit and I have the latest TYTYN ROM
2006 BMW 3-Series Bluetooth
My car doesn't have bluetooth, but I had a loaner car while my car was under the knife. The loaner car was a 2006 3-series w/ Bluetooth. The first pair was perfect, but after a few hours.. What a POS.
I have the latest ROM on my phone, and that didn't make a difference.
No issues on my 5 series, but I have one of the first ULF modules in mine.
From reading TyTN Bluetooth issues around the net and on this forum, it seems to be an issue with the TyTN having some kind of power save mode which turns the bluetooth off after some time.
Kinda stupid, anyone know some registry crack to turn any power saving off?
I have a Parrot CK3100 in a BMW and a brand new SPV M3100. All was working well with my M600 but as soon as I swapped the phone for the M3100 last week I've had problems as described by the OP. Bluetooth keeps switching itself off on the SPV. It works well enough to start with and then suddenly it disconnects. Re-pairing works and it's worth going to bluetooth settings and turning it back on again before you try re-pairing.
Surely there must be an easy fix for this problem - I'm just really pleased I'm not the only one with this fault.

Your all quite lucky it works at all..mine doesn't do anything
My Ford Fiesta has been waiting for an 'software upgrade' since October !!
Promised it would be available before Xmas but nothing happened.

Try and replicate the problem with a different phone if possible. One that BMW supports. If can replicate it, then they'll update the firmware on the BT unit in the car. This happened to me. But I had to prove my case using my girlfriend's RAZR before they'd listen and stop blaming my phone as the cause.

I dont think it is a problem with the BMW carkit as it worked fine with my SPV M600 (Prophet)
sorrt guys
I a.m sure I am being thick so please be kind.
I have a stock m700 which i use purely as a sat nav
I have a htc TD2 as my main phone.
I see that there is a device the io player
http://www.my-io.com/Products/iOPLAY.aspx
which enables me to use the car stereo as a hands free kit on the td2
i can also use the m700 with tomtom6 via the car stereo if the m700 can support a2dp.
had a look on the phone and couldnt see any confirmations.
can someone please confirm if it does have the capacity and if i need to do any tweaks to get it playing through the car stereo via the io player.
thanks in advance
