I think this may have been asked before regarding the fast port connectors on newer sony ericsson phones.
I did have a car-100 awhile back and i am thinking of buying another to use with the P990i, although the car-100 charges from the old style sony ericsson phones.
Is the anything out that will do the job of charging it at all? If not i am surprised they have not come up with anything.

 will have to update the existing P series control software to make it work with the P990 and I don't see that happennig
CAR-100 was always a bit of a gimmick and I doubt they will spend more money on it. Perhaps a developer might give it a go.
But then there is the question of charging, as you mentioned, but this is really a much larger question of old accessory compatibility with the new phones and though there have been rumours of adaptors I have yet to see one actually being availabale on sale

Oh i just presumed it would work with the P990i and charging it would be the only issue, thanks.
I wonder if they will ever release a new version, ah well will have to do without i suppose. No big deal.

while the non symbian phones have built in support in the firmware, the P series had to use downloaded software and its most probable that this won't be compatible with the P990

I managed to get a CAR-100 a few days ago. Charged it, but couldn't get it work with my W960. Now I've downloaded the java software from sonyericsson's web site, but I keep getting an error message as "NullPointerException". Also my car's battery is empty, so I can't test it ATM. Anyone got it working with any UIQ3 symbian phones, and if so, how ?

Symbian phones are notoriously bad with Bluetooth accessories especially carkits.

Hi!
here's a picture of Car 100
I remember my cats chasing it around the kitchen!
There's a thread somewhere on Esato showing mods to the Car 100 but I can't find it for now..
edit - here
