I am trying to find out if the BMW Bluetooth In Car Kit is compatible
with the Nokia 6600 and Who actually makes the BMW Kit.
Does anybody know if a firmware is available for the Kit or phone.
Thanks
Nick

If you ask in a dealer, there is a list on their Intranet of compatible
Bluetooth phones.
Most are compatible, but I know for sure that the Sony Ericsson P800 and
Nokia 7650 are not compatible. I think their Bluetooth maybe data only.
The only other option it to try it. See if it pairs up with your car.

The 6600 does not work with the BMW car kit, having tried it myself. The phone pairs up with the car, but does not transfer the phone book accross, nor does the audio transfer from the phone to the car.
I ended up with a Sony Ericsson Z600, which works very well. Phone book transfers into car, audio quality is excellent. However, you currently can't get a holder for it, so it doesn't rechange or use the external antenna on the car.
Other phones that work are the SE T610, SE T68i (although some firmware versions have sound quality problems), and the Nokia 6310i. The new SE T630 will most likely work, as it's basically a T610 with a better screen.
Other phones that don't work:
SE P800 & P900 - No handsfree profile. This from Sony Ericsson's own Knowledgebase.
Nokia 7650 - Bluetooth is data only.

My experience with the 6600 was about a month ago, using the latest firmware on the phone. Nokia were completely useless at helping me, as they were not really interested as the car kit was not made by Nokia.
I believe, (but may be wrong), that the car kit is a Parrot CK4000 - http://www.parrot.fr
