Yeah I know - still want one though. I asked about how many they'd have in stock but they didn't answer that bit

yep. thats what they quoted me this morning and said 2nd or 3rd week October availability
Posted by Fritz24
I also just asked if it would be compatible with all
Bluetooth phones and got the response:
'As far as we have we have been told the answer is yes.'
Useful huh?

I still think that's a bit steep - but I do want one
Posted by fijbert
I doubt it works with the P800
I cld b wrong
Posted by Cytech
according to Lundinova (the Swedish company that has developed CAR-100) it works with all modern
phones using bluetooth.... and if Im not totally wrong P800 is still quite modern

CAR-100 does not work with P800.
Saw some SE folks last week, they all had them racing around the table during lunch!
The cost is a bit high.

Conflicting information then from
- I was told specifically that the CAR-100 worked with T68, T610 and the P800; phones. Exactly that.

Has anyone come up with a charger for this one?
Would it work with a K800?
I only have "fast port" chargers now, but I'd still like to get one of these.

The CAR can't charge by itself, only when it's connected to a phone, it charges from the battery of the phone.
This has to be an older model phone, as the CAR has the old connector.

He is asking if anyone has come up with a charger for it because of what you said. An adapter would be cool.

wouldn't one of these be nice?
Posted by Leks
But would it work with new firmwares?
Posted by masseur
This picture was posted by a member a couple of years ago but I think there is no such thing, or at least I've never actually seen one advertised anywhere... I was just teasing a bit
but it would have been a huge seller if it was really available

Nokia has an adaptor, why not
?
Posted by marran
all you need to do is to take apart a regular charger, and solder the correct wires to the correct places on the car.
If you are going to do something like that, I would recommend you to use the charger that comes with HBH-DS970.

If a Taiwan manufacturer is reading, please release it
I wonder why they didn't put a female connector on the CAR-100, then I could use my HBH-600 charger.
Maybe they'll come up with a
helicopter and it's own charger
Posted by max_wedge
I think making own adapter is the only way. (charger might fry the little beastie - it's designed to use the phone to charge, not a charger) . It would be easy enough to adapt bit's off a dss-20 or old phone to wire to a fastport connector.
I just tried my car-100 with my K800 as controller, and it works except for backwards (forwards left and right work fine)
The K750 works perfectly.
