Hi All
any way to put any external screen on a exec
_^.^_
I wouldn't .....
Just now you crack the screen :wink:
But with VGA etc it would be nice to have it displayed on a na external screen?
Is there a SDCard screen Connector ( I know about a CF Card)
Technically, you could buy a bluetooth headset with little LCD display for incoming calls. Its external to the Universal and is a screen. :wink: I suppose you could remove the screen and bluetooth bits from the rest of the headset too, and someone stick it onto the cover of your Universal too... :shock: :roll:
If you meant allow your exec to connect to a full size monitor/TV, there are a couple products that let you do that.

Hi boys and girls,
I'm considering getting the XDA2, mainly i want it for a navigation system, so without using a bluetooth gps unit I imagine i need the backpack right?
So do you remove the camera to clip the backpack on?
Does backpack obscure the bottom mounted port which I would want to use the thumboard for?
backpack enables CF as I understand it, so are there any issues with wifi CF's remaining connected to the w/lan on windows pocket 2003? (I am plagued with periodic loss of connection with my old laptop using a 16bit wifi pcmcia card on XP)
Anyone use a bluetooth gps and do u loose connection much?
Anyone use the thumb board thing and what do you think of it?
Any pics of the thumb-board mounted on the device or the backpack mounted on would be ACE
Cheers
You dont need the backpack to use a gps with xda2, just buy a wired system, it will set itself up on com1, you must make sure that under setting/connection/beams, that the box "receive incoming beams" is not checked. www.globalpositioningsystems.com do a good cheap range of gps modules, any unit that fits xda1 will also work on xda2. As to the bluetooth gps, I have used Fortuna GPSmart and find it to be very good, the one I am using at the moment is the Holus GR-203e but I had to install a patch to get that working, the GPSmart is also usable as a cabled gps so with the cable which is very cheap you can connect to laptop or other non bluetooth devices. You can use the GPSmart as a stand alone unit also, I bought a cable which charges the xda, powers the gps and also carries the data.

Thanks for your reply, I think I'm in need of the backpack in any case because I want wifi
the bluetooth unit you mention that can run as wired sounds good, and how much was that multi charging cable? Cigar lighter effort I assume?
If you just want to charge the gps you get a mini usb lead and one of those usb liger sockets, the cable has a lighter socket included with the y cable., it was less than £20.
Was this the one you meant mate?

The url you posted was invalid, so i tried www.globalpositioningsystem.com and that site didnt look all that hot??
Globalpositioningsystem are one of the best suppliers I have used, that gps on ebay is not the one I use, that is GPSmart. it can be used as a handheld, bluetooth or wired system and is very cheap, runs on 3 x AAA batteries. The cable with lighter adaptor and data/charge cost less than £20. I inadvertently added an "s" to the end of that url.
I am trying to figure out, which car mount works best with the Jamin/s200?
I am thinking about purchasing the Brodit Proclip from www.proclipusa.com - is anyone using this car mount with the Jamin/s200?
Proclipusa.com has a device holder for the Jam/s100, which is 100% compatible with the Jamin/s200, correct??? :?:
yes, they are very good. At least I think so.
See responses to your post on HoFo
You can't go wrong with the brodit products. They are a little pricey but top quality. I have got the active swivel holder for the qtek s200 and it works very well indeed.
Just buy it you won't have any regrets.
Very impressed with mine also, a bit pricey but good quality and made for a neat installation.
Which option are you guys using?
The holder, which fits into the center console or the one for the air vent?
Also, if I have multiple devices, is it a rather easy task to switch out the device holders (I guess, I can use one mount for different holders, correct?)?
Hi,
You can use a 'Moveclip' This enables you to have x1 Proclip installed on your dash area, and fix the moveclip female part to the Proclip, and the x2 male parts to the back of 2 Brodit holders, meaning you can switch devices on your dashboard, be it JAMin or Tomtom, ipod etc.
Hope that helps, heres a link to view:
Cheers!

Thanks bryson!
Perhaps you also know if I can put in a car charger into the non-active holder (directly into the device) without any trouble?
The active holder seems a little big and I dont really see the advantage on the picture compared to the non-active holder?
Whats the advantage of the active holder?
Thanks!
No probs, glad to advise:
If you already have a cigg lighter charger for your device, then the passive holder is your cheapest option. Its easy to plug it into your JAMin (UK this is known as the Xda Neo) just plug into the bottom and slide it into the holder, job done!
The advantages of charging holders are:
It has the dock connector so just slide the device in and job done.
If you dont have a in car cigg charger, active holders are your best option,both for practicallity and cost.
Other than that, the 'hardwired' versions are a bit different, (also more expensive) as you can hide the cables,power a GPS BT device and have a more pro install look in your car.

I've got a LCD on my new car stereo and it would be great if I could get the sat nav from the XDA to display there, would save me gettting a car kit.
Thanks

No, not possible. The only connector would be the SDIO slot but you need that for the map SD cards.
OK, I thought there might be a USB cable that might do the job.
It's a shame..... i know, but i think the new mini hdmi, should take care of issues like this on future devices, just a shame, there really hasn't been any sort of standard, so to speak, for video out on pocket devices...
With that said, I was thinking, to control the gps, you'll still need to use the phone, so it'll be a bit annoying, having to keep both open..
Question:
Is it possible to connect my iMate to an external display?
Have a nice 7'' display in my car and i really like to see my iMate on it when i am using my GPS or contacts.
Any suggestion?

I had that same idea long ago but since the Magician's USB port does not support hosting then it is not possible. The other possibility would have been if some electronic expert would find a way to make a VGA connection/output.
found this.

the sd slot is going to be busy with the card but where to put my gps maps then?
I see this question has been asked before but there was no answer that I saw. Can I connect a mini-usb to video adapter to the cingular 8125 and use it on an external screen? I'd like to install a 5.5" screen in my car and use google maps on the phone but up on the screen. I think it would be a good alternative to a spendy nav system, considering I already have the screen.
no it require usb host functionality to use other usb devices
no way to get a software application that will make it work?
