M13KYF Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Thanks Jacko I think I will try to get an old phone for my cradle. Hi John, if it's a new car the cradle under the arm rest isn't actually a cradle. It's just a cradle socket. You would need to buy a cradle to suit the the mobile. Sorry can be confusing as it does look like a cradle. Some pass through on ebay now and again.

johnstott Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Thanks Mike I only just realised that, I have been trying to ram a phone into what I thought was the cradle. Now I will have to do battle with the Nissan dealer in Mallorca. Imagine trying to explain that to them and also trying to get a result. Anyway I am determined to use the original system even if it means searching for a cradle to go in my cradle. Many thanks for your help John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 No problem John. It's an easy mistake to be made. Hope you get it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstott Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Could anyone suggest a dealer or place in UK where I can purchase one of these cradles for my cradle John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 There bl@@dy expensive. Over £100. Best wait and see one go through on ebay for around £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstott Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Thanks Mike But expense doesn,t come into it, I nearly got caught today and that is expensive. Do most dealers carry these cradles or are they hard to get hold of ? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellord Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 As soon as anybody gets word on this I would love to know of release date and when Nissan delaers will have it in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Fish Brothers Nissan in Swindon ordered one for my old Nokia in 3-5 days, but it was about £140. Luckily work paid as I needed a handsfree kit and the usual installer wouldn't touch the Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4 CHK Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Not a BT question, but has anyone tried using one of the nokia upgrade kits available for older CARK series cradles in the Z cradle to allow connection of newer nokia phones? In theory it might work given that its essentially a bridge between phone and cradle, but wondered if anyone had tried it before buying one.....

If I'm understanding you correctly, then it won't as the newer cradle to support a newer nokia phone will not work. Thats because the system in the 350z is encrypted and therefore you need to have a Nissan specific cradle installed..... That's why we are in this mess. Otherwise we could just buy cradles direct etc to support lots of newer phones...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah should mmaybe explain further, not talking about changing the cradle, talking about about an add onto the existing cradle which allows you to use a newer phone in an old cradle. If you look on ebay, you'll see what I mean. I appreciate that the cradle is encrypted and hence has to be a nissan one, which is why if this 'add in' works, it would be ideal to solve the problem!!!!

michaellord Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I've seen posts on a forum that the new Bluetooth cradle is now available. Does anybody know this for sure? Does it work with pre-2006 models? Any information gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
