Check with your dealer, when I got my 9-5 Estate nearly three years ago the dealer supplied & fitted exactly what you specify above. My phone was/is a Nokia 7110 and it looks like part of the kit is the Nokia CARK91T, I know that kit is compatible with a number of Nokia phones so you may want to check if the 8210 is supported by it. The only downside... it was £210. Iain
