QSC Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Anyone know anything about in-car phone klits ? I just fitted a Nokia CK-7W hands free kit (fitted one before without too many problems), but the volume is almost nonexistent, there's a constant bleeping sound as the phone charges, and the stereo is constantly muted - anyone any ideas at all ?

Matt Harwood Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Check your wiring first, (although there's not much you can get wrong!). If you've fitted the cradle, check that you haven't pinched the cable... Failing that, it sounds like a duff control unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yea i would say its either been wired wrong or the unit it dodgy. Is it a fully integrated kit or just a ciggy lighter one anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a genuine fully integrated kit, exactly the same as the one I put in the Supra - it's impossible to wire up wrong - perm live, IGN live, earth, mute, mic, speaker - that's all there is to it - Stumped !!

Toms Supra Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yellow (permanant) is not normally connected Mine isnt. (incase you flatten battery)Unless you want to work it with your ignition off. If your H/U is muted you must have a "tel mute" in your H/U. (normally pink) Either cut it off, or check the settings on your H/U. Did you wire any of it to your H/U i.e the red live?

That's a tad frightning. The yellow is the mute wire!!! Just to clarify, for Nokia kits only... Red - Permanant live 12v Blue - Ignition/Acc live 12v Black - Earth Yellow - Mute (Low current negative output). Green - Mute (low current positive output). If the green wire isn't used, make sure it's insulated. Assuming you've connected the yellow mute wire to your stereo, check that this wire isn't grounded some-how. (pinched cable).

Toms Supra Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 er.... right F*ck it then I aint gonna reply to technical tips anymore I always seem to get it wrong.. so what if the yellow one is`nt connected? will it not work properly? I dont use mine as I need the number code as mine is bluetooth and where does it connect to not yellow on the ISO wires then?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Not connecting it won't hurt anything, just means your stereo won't mute when the phones in use. Definitely don't connect it to the yellow on the ISO or it will smoke. If you have an aftermarket unit, the mute wire, if it has one, should be fairly clear. Light blue on Sony Brown on Kenwood Yello, (sometimes with black hoops) on Pioneer Pink/black on Alpine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Ah I see, Yeh I have an alpine so mines pink but I used the pink wire for the dimmer, as it didnt work before and my display is really bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
