Is it the same as the XDA IIi (alpine)
Can I use my existing GPRS if I change to the mini?
Don't know what's on the Alpine but the Magician has a standard mini-usb connector.
thanks

Hi,
only simple question. Is the connector pinnout same on XDA and XDA2 ?
I have XDA2 and found connector pinout at http://www.xda-developers.com/connectors/, but it's for XDA not XDA2. Is the same?
I want to modify GPS cable for iPaq 38xx to connect my XDA2
Thanx ....

Mirek,
It's the same.
Grtz,
Jos
no most of the pins are the same but only a few are not but only car audio/on things are different or somthing
Before I dust off my Volt meter, can anyone advise whether I can use my cradle, PSU and PC to IPAQ USB cable, Cigarette charger etc with my XDA II. The accessories belonged to a IPAQ 5450 which was stolen and would be useful if compatible with XDA II. PSU appears to be, but less clear with other accessories. TIA David
The ipaq and the xda/xda2 are wired differently, however I have heard of a cable that will convert the lines and allow the use of certain ipaq accessories, alternatively you could do make one using the pin out info on this site. You can damage your xda if you plug an ipaq power lead into it.
Any update on this cable? Anyone know where I can get 1? I've heard it talked about a lot but I cant find 1 anywhere....
If any of your iPAQ accessories have the plug in dongle then just throw away the iPAQ dongle and replace it with an XDA II dongle (one came in your kit) as the voltage and current settings are the same only the connections in the actual USB dongle are different.
I'm using the AC charger and car charger from my iPAQ H550 (now sold) and they work fine. I also bought a couple of extra XDA II dongles so now I dont have to swap the one from my XDA II kit anymore.
I don't thing you can use the cradle or the sync charge USB unit as they will have fixed wiring and not sorth the effort of trying to modify.

The connector is a standard mini-usb port:
it has only four pins +V USB+ USB- GND.
It does not carry serial port signals.
Could you use wireless instead?
V
yup, you can sync via wireless or over bluetooth....
Bluetooth might be a problem if he's got no usb. But he might be able to get a usb pcmciacard or bluetooth or wireless card.

You could add USB ports to your laptop pretty cheaply.
eg http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=3V5S is £14 and has firewire too. (by the looks of it, the description is somewhat lacking!)

On pics the mini usb connector seems diferent like other PDA's like Prohet or Universal (square on one side). This would be not compatible with old light car charge... It is?
Thanks.
I'm still using my old cable from my Wizard to charge at work. The socket itself seems a slightly different shape but supports the regular cables.
The connector is a little bit wider on one side so that one can plug-in the proprietory head-set connector. Any mini-USB connector should fit in, but the head-set will not fit into a standard mini-USB plug...

Headset? hummm not hava tipical jack or minijack for headset?
Another problem to resist to buy! Actually I have a Prophet with 4GB SD and only 0,5 free... jejejeje Add no minijack for my car conection...
I cannot understand why not similar connections and peripherics on similar products :roll:
The mini USB AC adapter and cigarette lighter chargfer from my wife's RAZR both work fine on my Cingular 8525.
I have just purchased a HTC Multifunction adapter YCA300 connected to a TYTN II for giving me the flexibility to provide a charge and use some standard headphones/mic etc. The spec indicates IN LINE mic support for both the 2.5 and 3.5 mm headphone sockets.
I had hoped to be able to connect either of these sockets to my AUTOCOM motorbike intercom so that I can use my TYTN II as a GPS and also to receive the odd call.
Has anyone connected a Hands Free headset/mic to any of these sockets. I know the original MINI USB connector will work.
Will the 2.5 or 3.5 mm socket take a 4 pole connector and if so does anyone have a PINOUT diagram.
Thanks
