Hi there, well i think you done ok fitting for the first time. I do this for a living so if i can be of help just ask.

First of all you should be able to get a switched ignition wire behind the radio.But i am afraid you cant get radio to mute when on a call as that model dosent support it.But you can pick up a tel mute lead for around

Has anyone fitted a CK-7W Nokia kit to a Mk 2 ??

 

I have a Mk 2 2005 TDi Silver (basically base LX spec) and whilst reasonably competent with wiring and so on wondered if anyone has any thoughts on the following :

 

Where to mount various components, ie mike, button, control unit and speaker.

Could the button be mounted on one of the black blanking plates below the heated screen switches ?

If I get a cradle for my wifes phone (Nokia 6233) can I still use it in wireless mode ?

Where is best place for cradle ?

Has anyone any pictures ?

 

I'm keen to achieve a neat installation !! so any advice welcome.

I fitted one to my 2006 Ghia, without too many problems.

I removed the fasia panel to the right of the steering column, around the fusebox ( a bit fiddly but not too difficult :) ). Behind here I found a metal 'U' bracket that was just big enough to fit the control unit inside, without the need to screw it down. Just below this there was enough space to fit the speaker module - again no need to fix with screws. As I had the fusebox out I connected into here for the power - this was probably the most difficult bit as there is not a lot of slack in the wires! :rolleyes:

The control button I fed over the steering column and mounted (self-adhesive pad) on the fascia just below the 'woodgrain' trim, to the left of the column. Here it is hidden from drivers view by the light control stick, but is easily accessible.

the mic cable I fed up the side and around the edge of the windscreen, just tucking the cable between the glass & trim. The mic is mounted on velcro pad behind the interior light and mirror - not visible from inside the car but picks up voice OK. Also means that the passenger can use mic if needed.

I use bluetooth, but my wife's phone doesn't, so I have the cable fitted too (also means I can charge my phone up on the move! ;) ). This is fed out through the space above the steering column and is loose so that the phone can be plugged in and placed on the space in front of the instrument display. When not required the cable hangs over the side of the coulmn housing behind lights control stick. I deliberately left it like this so that at a later date I could fit a cradle, probably alongside airvents or switch panel.

(To answer someone else's query - if no phone is plugged into the cable bluetooth works fine. However, if a phone is plugged in then this overrides the bluetooth.)

 

At a later date I managed to connect the mute control to the radio - works great! (I have a radio removal tool I bought in Halfords years ago, but should still be available.) I found the details for this on several other posts and downloaded the photos to check against my radio! very easy to do, although it was helped by me using similar connectors at work, as the plug had a blank space with no contact. Worst case you may need to find some way to wedge the wire into the slot to make contact with the pin. (Just trying to find details on the parking sensor connections to mute the radio now!).
