Connecting a Bluetooth headset or car kit You can listen to music over a Bluetooth stereo headset, or have hands-free conversations using a compatible Bluetooth headset or car kit. It's the same procedure to set up stereo audio and hands-free.

• For you to listen to music with your headset or car kit, the headset or car kit must support the A2DP Bluetooth profile.
• Before you connect your headset, you need to make it discoverable so your phone can find it. You can find out how to do this by referring to your headset manual.

1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
2. Tap Bluetooth settings.
3. If the Bluetooth check box is not selected, select it to turn Bluetooth on.
4. Make sure that the headset is discoverable.
5. Tap Scan for devices. Your phone will start to scan for Bluetooth devices within range.
6. When you see the name of your headset displayed in the Bluetooth devices section, tap the name. Your phone then automatically tries to pair with the headset.
7. If automatic pairing fails, enter the passcode supplied with your headset.

The pairing and connection status is displayed below the hands-free headset or car kit name in the Bluetooth devices section. When the Bluetooth headset or car kit is connected to your phone, the Bluetooth connected icon is displayed in the status bar. Depending on the type of headset or car kit you have connected, you can then start using the headset or car kit to listen to music and/or make and receive phone calls.

Hello,
Yes it should pair without any problem, Bluetooth has a very stable standard not related to the model or brand.

Let me know if you need additional information or support.

regards

The Nokia kit has locked up, you will need to remove power from the kit for a few minutes to allow it to reset. If you do not know where the fuse or control box is you can try disconnecting battery on car but check with your vehicle manufacturer as some cars are sensitive.

Have a car audio installer disconnect the mute wire and properly install the unit through the front speaker wires.

Hello there...

From what i've read in here:
http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/headsets/bluetooth-headsets/nokia-bluetooth-headset-bh-106/specifications

The BH-106 specification doesn't mention that it support A2DP. To enable you to hear songs from bluetooth headset you need the one which support A2DP feature.

Quote:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) This profile defines how high quality audio (stereo or mono) can be streamed from one device to another over a Bluetooth connection.[1] For example, music can be streamed from a mobile phone to a wireless headset or car audio or from a laptop/desktop to a wireless headset.

And as for listening radio from bluetooth headset/handsfree, I think that it is not possible... since usually radio feature in a handphone need a wire type handsfree as it also function as the radio antenna.

Hope this helps.... :D

sometimes my radio doesnt work with the ck-7w is this a common problem

Main control box could be anywhere behind the dash, try under the glovebox or under the radio. If you have a mute harness to make the sound come through the speakers, this could also be the problem as is sound like you have 12v constantly on the blue wire.

you will need to search for a wiring diagram for your model of car radio

car kit blue - connect to ignition cable OR connects to switched 12v cable going to radio
car kit red - Direct to +terminal of battery OR to constant 12v cable going to radio
car kit black - connects to GROUND going to radio
car kit yellow - connects to mute function of radio if your radio supports it.

OR
connect blue and red together and directly to battery
and connect black to Body of vehicle
(not recommended as could result in draining of battery, even thought the kit is supposed to prevent this).

Hi,

Did you turn the bluetooth on and put the phone in discovery mode before attempting to receive something via bluetooth?
