Which Bluetooth ?
« on: 22 October 2018, 12:11:22 »

I have recently got myself an iPhone and even intend to try and work out how to use it.
Im now thinking about handsfree use in the car so have been looking at Parrot kits for sale on ebay. If I get one I presume I have to then get a dedicated lead to connect it to the car ?
If so, what lead, and where does it connect ?
Is it worth looking at other possibilities apart from Parrot. Apple carplay for example.
Tia.  :)

Errr...no. The only feed the parrot will need is birdseed. Sorry, 12V.  ;D Usually from a cig lighter socket, via a usb attachment. The type you can buy in most garage shops, except you're a bit of a garage dodger.

Unless your car is modern enough to connect to your phone directly, it reall is a compromise, Albs. Some might say not worth the effort.

Got a Parrott CK3100 fitted in my Elite and has worked fine .Unsure how it was wired in but invoice shows a Autolead part number and remember the guy saying it had been picked up at the Nokia hardwired part of the cars own wiring under the glovebox.

Microphone fitted by interior mirror and little display just under main headlight switch.

When used it auto disconnects the audio part from the radio/cd player and sound comes through car speakers .

All worked fine...…...although have a slight issue with internal of NCDC since getting nav back working so need the skills of TB to sort it out

Im glad to see that STEMO knows a lot less about this than I DO. I feel slightly less old and past it now.  ;D
Amba, thanks for the info. :y

Albs...I rate it as it works fine and if you spend a lot of time behind the wheel driving and need to be incontact with work etc,I think its a good hands free system :y

I believe this...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BNIB-NOKIA-CK-7W-BLUETOOTH-ADVANCED-HANDSFREE-CAR-KIT-CK-7W-CK-7W-/173574440568
is a plug and play system that connects straight to the factory wiring behind the glovebox and uses the microphone above the mirror  :y

I don't know a lot less, Albs, I just know that unless it is plumbed into the wiring, it's shite. You asked which lead you needed to connect it, not how it's wired in 'behind the glovebox' on ancient cars.
WTF is going to ring you anyway?  ;D And, even if they do, you'll just get fed up and switch it off.  ::)

The built in mic is too quiet really.  Using a Nokia mic in the same sort of area is much much better.

The CK-7W is what I used in my Omegas without issue on iPhones (the CK-7W lacks echo cancellation, so useless on handsets that lack cancellation, which is less of an issue with current handsets).

I have got no idea what your talking about.  Wtf is a CK-7W ?  :D ;D
There is already a mic from an old phone setup in the car, but I don't suppose that will be of any use to a modern setup.

It's a dedicated Nokia bluetooth kit that has been tried and tested in several Omegas... Being a later car, yours has the prewiring behind the glovebox  :y

Item itself in my link above :y

But, of course, when that urgent, life-changing phone call comes, you'll be in your mobile chippy.  ;D

Much easier to install bluetooth in that as it has a DAB radio which just needs a plug in adapter.  :)
