Best Car kit for V3 ??

Hi all,

I need to fit a car kit (proper job not headset!) complete with mute
lead in my car - what is the best one for the job?

I have been told it will have to be bluetooth as they dont do a wired
one for the V3. Is this correct?

Also, does anyone know if a carkit that works for a Motorola
(Bluetooth) will work for Nokia's? I know in theory they should but
the latest Nokia car kit does not work correctly with a V3 - too much
feedback/echo at the other end.

Thanks
Jon

Hi Jon

I've just got a Motorola V3.I already had a Nokia bluetooth handsfree kit
but although the phone could find the car kit and match up,when you used the
phone through the car kit you get a very bad echo.

I bought a Motorola bluetooth car kit HFW 8000 and it works a treat.It's got
a good feature,you can store up to 100 names & numbers and when you want to
call someone stored you just press one button on your control unit,say the
name and hey presto it calls the number for you-very cool.

The car kit cost me about £85.00 but have a search via goggle.

Hope this has helped.

Regards

Jon

Hi Jon (2)
On this carkit do you get 100 names or 100 numbers? That is, does each
contact's home/work/mobile come up as a separate entry?
So the voicedial would be "Jon's mobile" or whatever.
Does this one mute the radio and put the call through the speakers or is it
a seperate speaker?
I looked at the first Motorola BT unit but it was pretty crap and have had a
Parrot CK3000 and now a CK3100 which were vastly superior units but, as you
see in another thread, it isn't working too good with my V3

Hi Kev

It is 100 names & numbers so you just say Kev mobile,then the number and its
stored in the car kit memory.

Regarding the speaker,I've got an Audi and the Bose radio/Cd/tape player
with not allow it to play the phone calls though the speakers so I just have
the supplied speaker,its not to bad.

Again hope this helps.

Kev

The motorola car kit does mute the radio when a call is received or made.

So, it looks as though the echo problem I have is common and not
specific to me - good (I think!).

Does anyone know if a Motorola carkit (HFW 8000) works OK with Nokia
phones also (6230's to be exact)?? I need my solution to work with
both as its a pool car.

Thanks
Jon

I'm told that Nokia phones will work ok with Motorola car kits but not the
other way round.
