Has anyone used this firmware with a THB car Kit? I was working fine with this until i upgraded the firmware on my phone. I upgraded from a very old firmware (I got the phone in the first week of release by Orange), to R2A033.

Now when I place the phone in the cradle it either starts switching itself on and off. or it looks OK, but when I try to make a call it states "not available" and this continues when I take it out the cradle, and will not work again uintil remove and replace the battery.

The only way I can get it to work is by having an active call when I place the phone in the cradle.

This is driving me MAD. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

its a fully fitted car kit, not a Bluetooth headset.

It's the UNI system8 see the link below.

Thanks for the offer though.

I'm kinda feeling I'm all alone on this one.

Having sent my phone back and forth to SE, I still have the problem.

SE have now said because it isn't a SE car kit they won't support it. So I went to THB and they have been very helpfull, and tested the whole thing for me. It appear the R2A033 disables the external ariel which is what is causing my problem. I'm really surprised no one else here has experienced this.

However I need to get the firmware back to an older version, SE want £22 to do this. Does anyone know what firmwares are available on Davinci before I buy a credit?

Thanks
