Kaiser and Nokia CK-7W?

[xaban]

Hi,

Did anyone of you try to connect Kaiser to Nokia CK-7W carkit?

What I found out so far:
- theoreticaly it should work through Bluetooth
- no chance for a wired connection (pop-port) - pity :(
- someone somwhere tried and experienced a bad echo when using it.

Why this carkit?
It's installed in my car (bought it for Nokia E50 a year ago) and I'd rather fight a bit to make it work than pay for a new kit and its installation.

The alternative option is to ignore the kit, buy an active holder for charging and use Kaiser's loud mode.

I got a car with a CK-7W installed as well. The good news: it's on speaking terms with the Kaiser. Kaiser finds the car kit, pairing OK, car kit connects to the Kaiser and everything seems to work well, at least in the car. The other party hears an annoying echo, and nothing I've tried so far (mostly registry hacks found on this forum) has helped. It really is the combination of the CK-7W with the Kaiser: no echo when using a Nokia 3109 over bluetooth - no echo when using the Kaiser on speaker or with a bluetooth earpiece.

Using the Kaiser without carkit on its internal speakerphone doesn't quite work for me: I find the sound quality of the speaker rather awful. You might also consider a bluetooth earpiece: no echo on the other side of the line and good sound. Beware: the Kaiser only wants to deal with one handsfree bluetooth device at a time, so after I've used the earpiece, the CK-7W will not connect to the Kaiser. You'll need to select the CK-7W from the Kaiser's bluetooth menu, hold the stylus and select "set as handsfree" or make the connection from the Kaiser.

Thank you for your answer, ebaauw.

BT earpiece won't silence the radio during the phonecall - and I like this function very much.
On the other hand - people will hate me for this echo.
I will test it as soon as I receive my Kaiser. :)

P.S. I've just found this thread, you might want take a look at:

FWIW, the echo behavior is confirmed here as well. I also had it w/ my 8125. Kit worked really well w/ my old Nokia phone and a hard-wired connection. I guess I'm in the market for a new kit as well.

I've been using my MDA Vario III with CK-7W for about 3 months now, with no complaints from anyone I have spoken to. I have just left a couple of messages on my home phone to test for problems, having just wired in a Brodit Active holder - no echo at all. Maybe I got lucky....
