A friend of mine has just purchased an 04 Connoisseur, I haven't had a look at it yet but one question arose regarding the installed phone cradle. It originally carried the Nokia 8300.

Question? What current phones if any can be used in that particular cradle?

Thanks all.

The Nokia 8300 and the 7110 (the one used in the Matrix) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_7110

That's it. No current model fits.

Take a look at how much 8300's sell for, it's ridiculous for such an out of date phone.

Come to think of it I might still have my 7110 somewhere, bought it to use in my 1st 75 which had the same cradle in.

I'm assuming the car kit will be the Nokia Cark91, phones that fitted were 8300, 7110, 5110, 6210,6310 all getting well past their sale by date. It's possible to fit a converter or change the holder for the Nokia pop-port range which are also a little "old hat", the wiring could be left in place and the units changed for the Nokia CK-7W bluetooth kit - there's better options but more expensive than this or finally IIRC you can obtain a bluetooth adaptor that fits into the cradle that will work with most of the current handsets.

Hope that give a few more options.
