I want to buy this Earphones from FocalPrice, but the photo of the connector isn't very clear, so I was wondering if this one would work for Raphael. Can anyone tell me?

According to the sites above, they both use the "HTC ExtUSB™ (11-pin mini-USB 2.0 and audio jack in one)" so I'm guessing they're both the same? I don't own a G1 so I can't say with 100% certainty.

Hi Guys,
I replied to this quote, then realised that I'd never seen the iROCK! mentioned generally here:-
I have an early version which works great either battery or car adaptor (tho never in this country obviously!!! :wink: )

I'm trying to use my XDA2 as a MP3 player and want to take an audio feed from the XDA2 and put it into my hifi. The only way I can think of is to use the internal serial port and convert it to twin phono's but not sure if this will work. Any bright lights out there know the answer?

You could also try the amazing iROCK! which you plug into you earphone socket & it transmits on one of 4 FM frequencies to your nearest radio.
(it's illegal in the UK unfortunately, but available from USA etc.)
Don't know where you are located. If ya get caught over here, I never suggested this Guv! :wink:

Got mine from a visiting American, only use it 'on the move' :twisted: Not suggesting anyone else do the same, of course.
you can get these on ebay, I bought 2, shipped from hong kong
Quick question - They all seem to have 3.5mm jacks. Is there a version with 2.5mm jack?
you can get converters from 2.5 to 3.5 many many places

Has anybody tried the car baby? its small rechargeable unit that clips over the speaker and transmits on fm band, all audio will then come from speakers in car or in house on the radio. I found it to work well as long as you kept the volume low on the pda as too much volume causes distortion. It is very cheap and very effective as a wireless audio transmitter and doubles up as a hands free for the phone also.

Thanks for the input. I am not sure which generic 2.5 to 3.5 works and which does not. Obviously the 2.5 jack in the XDA has the extra contacts for phone off/on button. Does this cause any issues? I think I have seen a reference where the poster was mentioning hearing both left & right channels mixed on his right earphone when audio is piped into a good quality headphone using a 2.5 to 3.5 converter.
i doubt it but not 100% sure
i got the original QTEK converter myself
How can i hook up my jam to my headunit in my car so i can use media player?There must be a way!
Maybe you should provide us with the information what headunit you're using!? Basically, you'll need some way to input a 2,5 mm jack into your radio, using some kind of adapter if there's no direct input.
Hi.Yeah good point.I'm using a Sony CDX-F7750 if that helps!

I used to use a cassett adapter (carkit) for my sony unit.
Half year ago, I get one of this (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-YkZvOpNsh6B/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=50900&I=158XA300) from ebay to enable the AUX input for my unit. Sound is a bit better and look more professional since I run the wire better w/ this unit.
p.s. need to 2.5.mm to 3.5 mm adapter. I remember there was a thread in this forum taking about this.
Cheers for that.Looks like it's just what i need!
Cheers for that.Looks like it's just what i need!
I have bought the Brodit Active Car Holder, and glued the 2,5mm to 3,5mm adapter to it. Then I have a cable 3,5mm jack to cinch, which goes into my car stereo AUX sockets.
This works also with an adapter cassette.
Kind regards
Mundl
Sounds like another goood option.Do i basically have to get a jack converter from 2.5mm to 3.5mm and plug that in the jam,then a cable from the jam to the car holder?Sorry if i'm seeming thick!What parts will i need altogether so i can order them all.This seems lie a better option.thanks
I prefer this option myself...

You basically tune your headunit to any available/free/weak FM frequency and do the same on the unit above and you get great sound!
P.S. You will still need the 2.5 to 3.5 convertor.
All is available on ebay, which is where i bought my kit- works a treat

I tried it also and all I can about it is just sucks. I already did a mod on it to increase the length of the antenna. It improves the sound quality a bit (and it GREATLY improve the range of broadcast) but the quality is still sucks.
1. Sound quality is even worst than the cassette carkit option and a lot of noise in the sound.
2. In some area, yr transmitter is fighting w/ the local boardcast and you have to switch freqency
3. Battery only last a few hrs. And you need an extra cigar adapter if you want to use the car power. The totally # of wire to get all the work done is a mess
4. The wire comes w/ the unit is too short and it hard to figure out where to put the unit if U are using a windshield mount for yr jam (eg: GPS, video playback).
Now, the only moment I use this unit is when I go travel w/ a rental car

It says at the bottom that it only works in north america.Is this not correct then?
First of all, in my opinion, I think this product works greats for me. I see you are in the UK so it will work good for you too (best frequency that I find to use it 88.1 FM).

It's only legally available to buy in North America- that's why they can't sell it anywhere else; but it will work fine here in the UK.
Like I said, go on to ebay and they'll have it on there as well as the 2.5 to 3.5 convertor you need.

A downside to the above product is that it has as frequency- so it may not work so well in certain countries.
I have a MR handsfree Pro in my car, and its been pretty good. Anyway - I doubt they will make a connector for the HTC Wizard - would love to be proved wrong of course - so was wondering if anyone knows if you can make a connector?
Thanks
Scott
I don't have a Wizard yet so this is only going by the photos but I think the older Mtotorola/Panasonic adaptor would work. The type that used to fit the Moto V66 and Panasonic GD87 and similar phones.
The type that are just a 2.5mm jack, I think this is what the Wizard has and should work no probs.
Seems the connection is a mini USb. Anyone know if any of the Mr Handfree Pro connectors are also mini USB?
Scott
bear with me on this one while I try to explain...
I have an o2 XDA Exec that has tomtom 6 on it
I want to use the phone/sat nav, while on my bike
I have got a Starcom Advance - http://www.starcom1.com/ that is all working on the bike
Now, I do not want to use bluetooth if I can avoid it....
The starcom has a seperate connector for the phone and for satnav. (Both 3.5mm jacks)
I think that if I can find a 3.5 mm double male lead then I am hoping I can just plug it into the xda and the starcom - but what lead do I need? (Needs to allow the microphone to work btw)
I am hoping that some kind person knows what lead is needed so I can source one from maplins etc.... or that it just will not work!
I have the same problem! I use the Intraride system, but it's exactly the same set-up as the StarCom (used to have one) The solution I found was something like the Ericsson bluetooth handsfrees. They come with a detachable earpiece, so you can connect the units to the intercom using the phonelead that should have been supplied in the intercoms box.
First option is the HBH-20, there is one on ebay now for next to nothing.
HBH-20 Ebay Clicky
I then tried the HBH-200, which is similar, but includes a CallerID function. Nothing on ebay, but here is a link so you can see what I mean:
Clicky
Both devices are the size of a box of matches, so no troubles there! What I did find is that both units can be querky with the bluetooth connection, (down to the phone not the handsfree and this was on the OE o2 ROM, and one of the cooked WM6 versions) and also the volume was a bit quiet. Solution I've gone with now, is to swap my SIM into a normal phone (Nokia 6310i and universal adapter) and just plug that in. I also had good results with the Motorola V50 which has a 2.5mm connection that will just plug straight in.
Hope you find something that works for you! Although if anyone knows of an adapter to allow normal 2.5mm handsfrees to be connected to the 3.5mm socket on the universal...I'd love to know too! I have already looked at the adapters from Expansys, but these only allow PC type headsets to be connected (ie those with a separate 3.5mm headset and earphone lead)
Steve
Found an answer earlier, but it wasnt definitive and seemed to be from before anybody actually had an HD.
With the addition of the 3.5mm headphone socket, does the USBExt socket still do sound/microphone as well? It seems to still be the 11pin single beveled edge socket?
If it doesnt, it mucks up a lot of wired carkits, and might actually keep me on my Hermes for a while longer as i have music, calls/mic and power all wired to one cable which is far neater than using two cables as i'd have to do with the HD
Many thanks
Anybody? Somebody must have tried an old USBExt headphone set?

As it's shown here, the HTC Touch HD (NL Edition but the WWE edition should have the same) is capable to send sound over the MiniUSB port.
My understanding was that no sound was sent to the USBExt socket.

Nothing is shown there except for a headset - So by all means, does this run with your HD - have you tested it?
I´ve tested, as many before me, the Diamond headset on my HD and it´doesn´t work. A pop-up will tell you so if you try.
So the question remains if HTC really cut the wire or simply redirected the audio via command in firmware.
If demo1987 is right, it should work somhow on any HD with at least a tweaked ROM.
No, it does not work. I tried it with a HTC headset from my Artemis.
