R230 Nokia phone removal and fitting an Android phone

[Ian Wardleworth]

My R230 has a Nokia mobile in the armrest which appears to work but I would rather get a more moderm bit of kit in there with better bells and whistles.
1: does anyone know how to get the Nokia and it's cradle out without damaging anything and
2: Is there an option to connect an Android Samsung Galaxy S22 to the standard 2003 car?

With a 2003 car you're pretty limited for options, especially if you have Bose.

Pre 2004 cars used D2B fibre optic links whereas from 2004 they used MOST fibre loops.

D2B is poorly supported.

The usual method was to fit a Bluetooth unit in place of the phone(looks like a 6310 phone but is a Bluetooth adapter) but these are no longer available.

Thanks for the detail - it was what I suspected.

My MB4 didn't really work very well. I have now bought a 'new. Nokia from e-bay, put a pay as you go sim in it, and recently Virgin media sent me a 'free' 02 sim that I have now fitted. just divert the real phone when I'm in the SL. Apart from the pain of putting in the few contacts that I'm likely to call whilst I'm driving it, all seems to work ok.
