Everything works except for the charging circuit. The phone only goes
into the charging mode when the phone is practically fully charged.
Long drives (4 or 5 hours) with the phone in the converted CARK91
drains the battery (because I keep the display energied continuously.
The CA-55 is still not available in the US. Nokia (1 year ago) claimed
that it is only designed for the European versions (the American
software is different). I would think that the old charging
circuit/sensing circuit in the CARK91 doesn't recognize the LiOn
battery. What surprised me (as I had a 5160, 6160 and 6360) was that
the phones aren't designed to be powered from the car kit. All the
carkit does is charge the battery, and enables the external HSU-1 to
work as well as hands-free options. On long trips, I use a Nokia DC
charger (also previously not available in the US). The clone ones burn
out after about 2 days of use. Expan-Sys sells both the CA-55 and
DCU-4 in the US.
