About to buy a Nokia Cark-91 kit for my 6310i
Thinking about hiding in the armrest (top 'tray section').
Don't spend that much time in the car, so really is only for incoming calls. Not bothered about the radio mute either - I can turn the stereo (standard audio 10 CD radio) off in the time it takes the auto answer function to work !
Queries:-
1. Can I wire both the permanent and switched live together ? I assume this will not drain the battery as long as I don't leave the phone in the cradle with the ignition off.
2. Any details on where best place to find appropriate wires and their color codes ?. I think the cigarette lighter is a good option but where does the loom run and what colour wires do I need ?
3. Anyone know whether the MB phone inserts for the armrest tray are available from parts and how they fit (do they still use the Nokia cradle for instance ?)
4. How does the Armrest section come apart for wiring to the upper tray ?
5. I get full reception from the phone in the car, so am not bothering with an extra aerial, partly due to reception and partly due to fear of disturbing some other circuit (e.g airbags) - Any coments ?
