Highline telephone controls

[stevenkeyte]

My facelift Contemporary SE is fitted with a highline sat nav and the optional telephone control / cradle assembly fitted into the slot usually occupied by the passenger side cup holder.
When a compatible mobile is fitted into the cradle (Nokia 6310i) the phone appears to recognise the hands free set-up (small car icon appears on the phone screen) but the highline doesn't seem to detect the presence of the phone.
According to the factory instructions which came with the car, there should be a telephone option available on the menu screen of the highline, which is selectable once a phone is inserted in the cradle, but the telephone option isn't displayed, either in black (and un-selectable when no phone is inserted) or highlighted and selectable once the phone is inserted.
Does anyone have experience of this set-up and potential issues / faults which may be causing the highline not to detect the phone hands-free set-up?
All other functions of the highline system work OK.
Regards,

Steve

According to the factory issued instructions, when the hands free kit is fitted, there should be an additional option displayed on the highline menu screen, 'telephone' this becomes selectable when a mobile phone is placed in the cradle.

It appears from reading the instructions that the highline recognises the presence of the handfree kit and displays the 'telephone' option. I have the kit fitted but the option on the highline menu is missing, obviously somethings not communicating somewhere in the setup, The kit, as far as I'm aware, was fitted by the dealers when the car was used as a demonstrator,

Is this what Rich was posting about a day or two ago? planned but never implemented?

I would hazard a guess that you've got a Nokia car kit fitted with an autoleads mute lead.

The factory fit car kit was never available, so very little chance of it being fitted to such a late car

Would agree with David's comments.

Try using the phone with the audio playing on the headunit, think you'll find that the audio playing will mute and the audio from the phone will come through the front speakers.
