I currently have the Nokia CK7W kit with a Nokia mobi (6233
) the problem is that the kit was fitted to my old
MCS which met a rather violent death and having refitted to the new car it is misbehaving.
I think there is a problem with loom, some of the pins on the Icelink section have come loose from their holder, and whether related or not, when connected the handsfree kit permanently tells the head unit it is on a call eventually resulting in a flat battery and no tunes either.
I have removed all the kit, CK7W & Icelink+ and have my road pilot plugged into the cigarette lighter rather than hardwired via a splice in the plug & play loom.
I have always been concerned by the sheer amount of wire that has to be installed in the car with the nokia arrangement, it is probably near enough 2.5-3ft all in all. The handsfree loom plugging into the icelink before finally connecting to the head unit. Now I am considering ditching the Nokia in favour of Mikey's Parrot Evo kit which will utilise my currently defunct MSFW buttons.
Could someone let me know the amount of kit I'll need to find a home for with the Parrot kit, whether I could ask Mikey nicely to include a power take-off splice and what experiences peeps have had with Parrot products. My initial understanding is that they are highly regarded but would welcome other thoughts. What is the battery life like via the bluetooth connection not necessarily my individual model, more in general.
Only problem is the additional £100 this would cost.
