    hi,

    i'am wiring up a nokia ck-7w car kit only using the bluetooth setup. from the wiring I have the following wires

    blue to igns supply
    green to amc <- whats this connection
    yellow to mute
    red to constant 12v
    black to earth.

    when i wire up the control box ( leaving the green wire off ) there is no indication light on the button when the ignition turned on.I have also tried connecting the green wire to a 12v supply with the same result.any idea's as to whats wrong as I've tried a second control box without any luck.

    thanks in advance

    The green wire is for an electric aerial.

    I have noticed that sometimes the blue light doesn't light up. I have installed a good few of these things. Sometimes the blue light will only come on once you press the button to activate the kit. Can you hook your phone up to it via bluetooth?

    The blue light should flash when looking for a phone ans light up when connected

    hi,

    thanks for that. I'am using a nokia e61i but it doesn't find the car kit when searching for it on bluetooth :(. how long should i press the button to activate the unit ?

    Chet T16 there is no flashing light either :(.

    i have checked for voltages and earth which are fine at the unit itself.

    regards

    You only need to have the red & black wires connected in order to use the kit really.
    The blue just allows an auto-connect once you turn the ignition.the yellow only mutes the radio. The green is really obsolete now, who has an electric aeril on their car kit?
    Try just using the red & black wires only, hook directly up to battery to keep it simple while testing.

    Have you checked the in-line fuses? 1A & 2A? Are they blown?

    The only other thing I can think of is to borrow a control unit (the black box) from a friend to see if this is the problem, or alternatively swap your box into someone else's car kit set up. That will at least rule out that unit as the issue.

    Best of luck.
