I ordered the kit from directmobileaccesories.com and it arrived yesterday, it is an O2 boxed xda car kit.

Everything works fine - except - I removed my old Nokia 9110 car kit which had a radio mute kit that feeds the phone through the car speakers, and tried to connect the radio mute from the O2 kit to the radio mute lead used by the Nokia car kit. When I place the xda in the cradle it immediately cuts over from the radio to the phone, even before the phone part of the xda is activated.

I have a radio mute on the steering console so I have temporarily disconnected the mute lead and fitted the speaker that came with the xda car kit.

Any suggestions why the radio mute cuts over straight away ?

Hi,

I have seen the same behaviour, it looks like the mute works reversed. If you make a call the radio will swotch on.

If this is your problem it should be easy to fix by using a small relay or something similiar.

the problem I had with the radio muting all the time has resolved itself, it now works perfectly.
