Hi all
My mobile phone gave up the ghost this morning so need to get another one.
There is a carkit fitted in my car by the previous owner.......





The round knob by the gearshift has Nokia on it, so I`m guessing I need an old Nokia phone.
I only use the phone for calls and texts, so can anyone recommend a model that will fit?

Thanks in advance

Gawd only knows.

Rip it out and fit a Parrot bluetooth jobbie.

Blast from the past seeing a phone charger that isn't USB based! I think Nokia 3310 or 3330 (trying to remember these numbers so could be wrong) were that style but the charger did change to a thinner version at some point.

It`s all wired into the radio - I`d rather not mess with it.
It`s there, I presume it works ok - so why not use it?

It definitely looks like the ones fitted to the works vans where I used to work (left about 8 years ago) but I haven`t a clue which model phones we used.

Why would you get an ancient Nokia to make it work?
The holder only has a charger there, the car kit is using bluetooth anyway.

Get any phone with bluetooth you want, get rid of the of the old holder charger thing if it's not an old Nokia and the car kit will work the same regardless.

Looks like a non original kit to me, something like a brodit holder

Yeah that's what I thought, the clip is purely a charger.
