Hi there,
I've got a SPV M 1000 and looking for a carkit(holder) and GPS mouse so I can use it in my car..
No shop(online or normal) can give me the right information.
Anyone knows if I can use the same as for the MDAII or Qtec2020?
Or any other relevent info?
Yes you can. I'm just in the process of reviewing Carcomm's XDAII/QTEK Cradle (www.carcomm.nl). The cradle power cable also has RS-232 and PS/2 sockets for GPS feed, you can either use Carcomm's own GPS or they have adapters for TomTom's GPS Mouse and other popular models.
It's a superb cradle and I'll be scoring it highly in my review. The only downsides are no access to the headphone socket and it won't take the CF Backpack if you have that.
There are several options:
Bare cradle (ie Brodit) Just holds the device. You still need a GPS set (mouse with Y cable for charging or Bluetooth and charger).
Cradle - (ie Carcomm) Holds the device and charges it. You still need a GPS mouse / bluetooth
Carkit - (ie Expansys, T-Mobile carkit) Holds the device, charges it and gives phone handsfree functionality via external speaker and mic. You still need a GPS mouse / bluetooth
Since THE diference between the MDAII and other PPC's is the phone, I am going for a carkit (Expansys one, bought in Germany for 137 euro)
Hi,
Anyone know car mount for jam that has external speaker?
Thanks

Arkon from Expansys
I've got the Arkon cradle - it's not specifically for the Jam and it's a little uglier than the Seidio but I won't need to swap it when I get the Jam v2 (HTC Wizard which has better camera, flash, WM2005 and keypad, and they also mentioned WiFi b not g).... see www.expansys.co.uk for the cradle
One thing related to both these cradles: they have a RJ45 connector so you can attach a wired GPS reciever to the cradle which should feed the GPS data into the phone through the USB charging connector. Apparently this doesn't work for the Jam - I'm wondering why not....

Magician does not support serial connection over the USB connector. The serial profile is not implemented. You have to use a bluetooth GPS.

Mundl, thank for info!
BTW, how many bluetooth devices can my Jam connect to at the same time? Basically, can I use a bluetooth GPS unit and a headset at the same time?
Thanks.

Yes you should be able to. I havent tried it myself but somewhere on this forum I have read it works. The magic "search" function should help you.
Kind regards

Yes I second that. Excellent stuff.
I have an active Brodit holder for my MDA compact, and I glued a 2,5 mm jack to the holder, so that not only my MDA is charged, but also automatically connected to my car radio for listening MP3 files.
Kind regards

I am currenty using a Orange SPV M1000 (XDA II) and thinking of having a upgrade to the SPV M2000 (XDA IIs)
I am currently using a wired GPS reciever and car charger Oh wise ones of the Forum Can you answer this queston.
Will this wired reciever and car charger work on the M2000?
Is the car charger port the same on both manchines?
I know a lot of people use bluethooth recievers but i was wondering if i can use the equipment that i already have till i purchase a bluethooth reciever.
Many Thanks
Mine does- I had an M1000 that was connected to a wired gps receiver and now I have upgrade to an XDA IIs and it all still works perfectly.

Yo,
Anyone got a new exec yet, and got tomtom 5 with a tomtom wired GPS receiver plugged into it? If so can you describe what you did, so i can prepare my gear for when it lands! Looks like I might need a USB to MINI USB lead to be compatable with my Arkon car cradle...............
Cheers all,
Bryson
Search the forum, loads of posts on this.
I haven't seen any posts on this. Plenty on BLUETOOTH tomtom but not WIRED.
As far as I know there isn't any type of adaptor like that on the market - unless anyone knows different? So its Bluetooth only.
Sorry, my bad, I miss-read the post. Thought it was BT.
Yeah, I trawled the forums, didnt see anything re a wired GPS receiver, so hoping someone can advise how i can connect my tomtom wired GPS into the exec.............dont want to have to buy a new BT receiver as well!
just got my exec today ,which I must admit was quick comming only ordered it yesterday ive got gps for my xda 2 but wont fit my exec
It wouldn't be as simple as a Serial to Mini USB adaptor because the serial bit would need to be a specific Xda serial fitting. I can't see the economical sense in them being developed.
Best bet is to flog your wired receiver on ebay and buy a b/t receiver. I'm using a co-pilot b/t receiver and the phone connecter that comes with it is mini usb. Charges the Exec and b/t receiver at the same time.
I Don't work
doesn't look good ....................
sh1t, really! why? let me guess, after 3 succesful incarnations of the xda..........HTC decided that it would be to easy co let the comm port style continue, and usb land awaits........
Hi people,
Currently I use a THB Bury Take & Talk DSP car kit, with a cradle for the XDA IIs (Blue Angel). I have a Mini S (Wizard) aswell that I want to use with the car kit, and essentially replace the old XDA IIs. I have found a cradle that fits this car kit on the o2 website, the only problem with this is that the current wired GPS I use will not work with this cradle of the Mini S in fact.
Ideally I'm looking for a Bluetooth GPS that is powered in the car. Can be through the cigarette lighter but ideally could be mounted in the car and maybe wired into the same powerbox as the car kit? Anyone know of a solution like this or similar?
Many thanks,
Andy.
There's a thread discussing this in Wizard Accessories entitled "What's the best GPS setup???" and a post which describes an application like the one you want.
Go play in the right forum.
Hope this helps!
Yes if you go here

its a nice tomtom style cradle with power output for a bluttooth GPS via RJ11 connector lead (supplied free) and 3 mounting options (included) for a princely sum of £25 i had one for my 2i and it was excellent. the mechanical arm gave no vibrations at all.
