I've been using a HCA-20 car kit with P800, P910i and V800

Am waiting on the arrival of my new K750i and HCH-61 car holder, however as the K750i has a new connector can anyone tell me if the HCA-20 is compatible with the new phone? And if so what system cable do I need to get?

The K750i uses a new carkit known as the HCA-60.
I dont believe there is a cable available to connect the K750i to the HCA-20/200. If you still want to use the P8 / P9 / V8 phones in the car as well as the K750i then you'll need to update to the HCB-300 or HCA-700 BT carkits.

I had intended to replace my V800 with the K750i and therefore was hoping a system cable existed to connect to the HCA-20

C'mon, that would be too easy now wouldn't it?
Perhaps some other company will produce an aftermarket conversion cable? We'll have to wait and see.

Surely someone will make an adaptor
Any news on this yet?

Doubtful as the HCA 20 wouldn't be able to interpret the signals to/from the K750, hence the new carkits being available. Might be best to check with a carkit installer wether or not most of the cable connections remain the same, if they do then all you need to replace is the system cable and databox. If not then you'll need ot get the lot changed.

Or go the easy BT route
