stuRS Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Alright chaps, My recently acquired UK GT has got a mobile phone kit installed, it runs into the cubby box between the seats (behind gear lever). It looks to be for an old Nokia 6310 (I say old - 2003 when the car was made) and I want rid of it. My thinking is, will this be wired to the standard Bose 6 disk changer HU, and if so can I do something clever with connecting an Ipod...probably not I rekon. Anyways, is this an after-market Halfrauds jobby or did Nissan offer this as a luxurious option for all the sales reps that bought these on hire purchase?? Cheers, Stu Quote
sparky370z Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 no, its for a BT module that u put in it. then you can pair up you new phones to it and use the steering wheel controls Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Can you not remove the cradle and put a bluetooth module in? Quote
stanski Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I thought you meant one of these when you said Vintage Blimey if you think 2003 is Vintage we are all doomed! Quote
sparky370z Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 the bluetooth module inserts in to the cradle. i was unsure at first but seeing some of them its VERY easy to install Quote
stuRS Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Stanski, I like it. I imagine you could wangle out of a £60 fine for comedy value alone. Right, so it'll be an international type plug in the cubby box then? So I can bin the nokia one and fit something for my black barry (as I like to call him) Quote
sparky370z Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 does it look like this attachment? if so the BT module just slips in Quote

stuRS Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Is there anything clever I can do with connecting an ipod touch/iphone to play music, or is it Bluetooth handsfree kit or nothing at all? Sorry, I am a technical retard Quote
sparky370z Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 see the edited pic above not sure about the music play back tho. i doubt it TBH Quote
stuRS Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 No it's not like that, it looks like this: Nicked off google images as I'm at work, but it's pretty similar to one of those Quote
sparky370z Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 ooooh, i really dont know then!! sorry but there is just a plug underneather, that just undoes i suppose that you might be able to put the BT cradle in there??? sorry for the confusion. Quote
stuRS Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Mate that's fine I really appreciate the help. I thought it was a bit odd that it's a model specific cradle, I'm planning on spending some time on the car tomorrow so will pull it about and take some pictures. If only I could run an aux in to that cubby box without forking out for a new HU and about a million extra looms Quote

ATTAK Z Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 What the hell is that? It's a modern one of these Quote

If only I could run an aux in to that cubby box without forking out for a new HU and about a million extra looms TAPE ADAPTER!!!!!! for music and other accesories, thats what i did and it works a treat mate, it looks a bit poo but, was a fiver from tescos and works brilliantly. much better than spending 600+ on a new HU Quote
stuRS Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Can I do that tape hack thing that Nurrish does on his Satnav units? Can't be arsed to fit a new head unit Quote
Ebized Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 No it's not like that, it looks like this: Nicked off google images as I'm at work, but it's pretty similar to one of those Not sure where you got that double cradle from but here is a link with pics to what you want for your 350 viewtopic.php?t=13358 Quote
narcotix Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I'm not sure about the double phone adapter but I had an old Nokia style cradle when I purchased my Zed .. After some messing around I found that there were 2 buttons on the sides which you push to remove it ... Once removed you can replace it with a bluetooth dongle as shown in the above post ... Worked a treat for me! Quote
M13KYF Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 looks like some aftermarket kit fitted by previous owner. Not oem Quote
Stew Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 The picture isn't from a Zed though! The phone dock will unclip and you'll be able to plug in the bluetooth module. No idea if you'll be able to do anything fancy with the ipod though bar the tape deck hack. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Do you have to go to Nissan for the Bluetooth and how much? Quote
M13KYF Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Do you have to go to Nissan for the Bluetooth and how much? Mr.F at MJP does them if you prefer not to buy from Nissan. Quote
M13KYF Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks Mike £ 82.90 give Mr.F (mike) a bell. He may do it a bit cheaper if you mention the forum Quote
