E200 blueooth car kits

[Guest stuieee]

Hi all,

Has anyone successfully got an E200 working with a bluetooth car kit yet?

It certainly doesnt work with a Nokia CARK112, cos thats what I have. It pairs ok, but won't connect beyond that.

Has anyone tried the new Nokia CK-1W or the Ericcson one?

Cheers,

Stu

There was talk of the Parrot CK3000 working but I read in another post that it won't. Only the BT Jabra ear piece kits seems to work at the mo. Someone will bring one out soon I hope - watch this space.

The parrot is tempremental, but parrot are working on it.

See their forum www.parrot.fr

I've just tried it with the parrot ck3000 and it works!

The only problems are no voice dialling yet and it seems a bit temperamental on answering or hanging up, you have to push the buttons a few times.

The software revision on my ck3000 is 3.11, you may need to get it updated.

I had already upgraded to 3.11 firmware, I got a update cable for it. It actually worked better on the old firmware I had wich was 2.11.

Its very 'hit n miss' at the moment, but as I say parrot are working on it.

Fingers crossed.

Have installed a Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Car Kit HCB-30 and Sony Ericsson Advanced Music Mute HCE-16 - first class with the E200.

The kit uses the car stereo speakers muting the stereo automatically when making or receiving calls and call clarity is superb both ways.

The downsides:

1. lack of voice activation (my wife's T610 is great for this feature)

2. no bespoke cradle / exterior aerial option

3. permanent backlight issue on E200 (shouldn't this be a profile setting and therefore an easy fix for MS ?

Overall thoroughly recommended
