Has anyone come across a place to buy extra docking cradles for the PDA2K ? I have been searching for one for my home pc but I can't find one anywhere!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Randall
I got a Lil'Sync Pro cable from PPCTechs.com. It works fine and is much more portable than an extra cradle.

Does anyone know if the batteries are the same on these two devices? How about the USB sync/charge cable and external foldable keyboard? Thanks for any help.
I am looking to go from a MDA II to a III and would love to keep my spare battery and JAVOedge sync/charge cable.
Battery won´t fit, cable COULD fit - or can be modified: http://www.inntalinfo.de/apboard/thread.php?id=3018
The following will fit:
- Charger
- Headset
The following will NOT fit:
- Battery
- Cradle
- Backpack

Serial cable to garmin GPS
Hi,
I have got a special Cable to use my xda1 with Garmin GPS V. Will it work with XDA2s?
Thank You
My XDA car cable with wired GPS is working with XDAIII
Carkit won't fit !!
The stupid qtek carkit pro won't be of any use. They changed the position of the ack connector to the antenna......why??????
my xda2 plug in head set wont work with my mda 3, all plastic 22 pin connectors (chargers, gps etc) can be made to fit
the usb cradle for the mda 3 will fit the 2 but not visa versa
Does anyone know where I can buy the plug that plugs into the bottom connector for an XDAIIs?
I've asked everyone I can think of, searched Google, Maplin(UK) and Expansys and I can't find one.
It's probably because I don't know the correct name for it!
Ideally, I'd like one that has all 22 connections and even cables attached - they look really hard to solder onto by hand!
Any information would be greatfully received :lol:
Thanks

http://www.gomadic.com/connectors.html sells connectors
Wallaby, Himalaya are compatible with HP iPAQ Connector Plug Assembly (19/22/38/39/41/43/51/54/5500 Series)
but read that the plug of BlueAngel is not exactly the same.
I purchased an XDA II car charger from the O2 shop in Manchester - it came with a plug that works fine with my XDA2s - have used it on the car charger and on the supplied power lead - charges fine.
When I got my IIs, it CAME with the plug already, any standard car charger can plug right into that plug and then the IIs... You sure you guys didn't get it?????
I think you mis-understood me - I'll try again!
I have developed a complete installed car kit for XDA, XDAII and IIs that does the following.
Mutes stereo when in call and puts all sound to front speakers
Can put navigation commands through the stereo
Hooks up to external microphone
Has PS2 (Holux) and RJ11 (TomTom and Leadtek) GPS connections
Charges device
I'm trying to get hold of a connector with 22 connections because I have one problem left.
To switch the car kit on, I either need a 5V feed from the device OR need to be able to put 5V in on one pin and get 5V out of another.
If anyone can help with either the connector or letting me know which pins I might be able to use send me a mail please
Thanks

have you tried RS componets or CPC.?
Hello,
I just noticed there are many Mini-USB to 3.5 (or 2.5) audio adapters on sale at e-Bay, like this.
All of them seem to be for Motorola phones, though. Anyone has tried on the TyTN?
I seem to remember reading somewhere in GENERAL that they would not. Someone asked HTC and they said it was propietry - but they would have an adapter out soon(ish).
Rich
I can't see why it shouldn't work... it's just £5 so what's the loss if it doesn't...
EDIT: I've bought one today. I'll tell if it works or not....
The port is NOT proprietary. It is a standard mini-USB, and takes standard mini-USB cables.
They tweaked the socket a little bit to go along with their new proprietary headset.
In other words, you can plug in any standard mini-usb cable/accessory, but you can't plug the headset into any standard mini-usb port.
Sorta "dain-bramaged" if you ask me, but since I use a bluetooth headset, it's a non-issue.
Charge and audio simulataneously?
So, how do I both charge the unit and listen to music (wired headphones) at the same time? Does anyone know?
There is an alternative to an adapter. As they say on Blue Peter, here's one I made earlier.......
http://www.4winmobile.com/tutorial-replace-hermes-headset-connector-with-35mm-socket-vt3146.html
I asked htc for an adapter
here ist the answer:
Dear Sir
At present HTC does not manufacture, supply or support such a connection and HTC cannot supply such a diagram.

Easy answer: get an iPod! :lol:
Hello,
I tried one of those "motorola / razr" headphone adapters on sale at ebay. while the adapter fits nicely it doesn't work. Tytn just doesn't seem to recognize it.
Any thoughts of why it doesn't work and alternatives greatly appreciated.

If you look at the connector the motorola one has 5 pins across the top of the it. If you look at the Tytn on it has 5 pins across the top and 6 across the bottom. In order to be compatible with current chargers the top 5 pins supply the charging and the bottom 6 supply headset and serial connections.
I do not intend to use the "Line out" function of my TyTN often but it DOES lack an audio output. Sometimes I need to connect the device to speakers and etc.
It should be a modified mini USB port that the TyTN has and that must have saved some space over traditional 2.5mm sockets. We all know 2.5 sockets are not common and you need an apaptor to change it to 3.5mm anyway so prolly HTC gave up on the 2.5 and made the USB standard.
I am pretty sure that some accessory will come out.
Does anyone know if the Ebay adaptor cable will work on the TyTN?
Most of the ebay adapters are standard usb mini for use with the razor etc. These will not work. It needs to be an adapter specifically for the Tytn.
thanks! It is really stupid for HTC not to launch any accessories for the TyTN(or other releases).
Like the Atom Exec has factory cradle kit, battery, silicon cases, leather straps and etc. I don't even know where to get an extra battery!

Anyone used these yet?
Hi guys.
I am looking to buy the Brodit active mount for my blackstone. Does the cigarette charger contain a transformer? If not, can I not simply buy that version, chop the plug off, then hardwire it to the fusebox???
The hardwire version is £15 more!

The cigarette plug does contain the transformer. Bur I've bought the same hardware for the same (price) reason. I've mounted (hard-wired) a (cheap) additional cigarette plug (the "female" side) behind the panel and plugged the brodit cig plug in... only **** was that i had to cut the cable anyway to get it behind the panel, and then re-connect it.
regards jan
Hard wiring isn't too hard on it.
Buy a inline fuse adaptor from Halfords and solder this to the positive wire.
Then if you have a spare wire coming from the radio loom that uses Spades or Bullets, just crimp one of these to the wires of the plug and plug it into the positive / neutral.
I have a non-factory standard radio and had to get a radio harness adaptor (to make it to ISO from factory). With this cable I added a section in to have bullets on the switch live, permenant live and netural, just so I wasn't changing existing wires to the car.
Then connected the charger part via bullets and works a treat!
cheers guys. I bought the hardwire version as i found it for £30 on ebay.
Good to know that i'd have needed to get an inline transformer - makes me feel better!

Im Looking for a nice Cradle for the Rhodium, ideally with a second battery charger in it (not vital as ive not got a 2nd battery yet)
Anyone spied any?
They've started cropping up on eBay, spotted 2 this morning.
If anyone actually gets a hold or hears of a proper battery cradle charger I'll be happy. With having the kaiser for 2 years I grew tired of having to charge my phone twice a day to meet my gadgetting needs... I really do love to play around with those phones hah..
[offtopic] Also bummer they didn't supply the phones with the VGA cable.. [/offtopic]

Would like to have one with integrated speakers, antenna and an ExtUSB connection so that the radio functions while docked.

That looks like it will put a fair bit of strain on the extusb port. There doesn't seem to be anything else supporting the phone
I seem to buy a cradle for every phone I get, none of which are perfect (the stand that is, not the phone, although . . )
This time I am going low tech and going for something like the one my daughter got with her Nokia 5800 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Nokia...66:2|39:1|72:1683|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
Although I might need a bigger one due to the weight of the TP2 ( I will try hers when my phone turns up)
i build my own craddle with the HTC G300 Touch Diamond Cradle & adapter
it has no extras, it`s not the best, but it works...
if HTC build a matching adapter i will buy it....
see the pics
cope with a rasp ground,
a piece of soft plastic stuck on it so that it is softer surface....

Can I ask how easy it is to drop the device into the cradle? I bought a Pro2 cradle from an ebay source, and it can be a bit fiddly to line up the connector, I'm often jiggling it around for a while to line it up; whereas the Brando cradle for the HD is very easy to use, it just drops straight in. I'm loathe to buy a second cradle, but this one is just annoying me.
hi!
the brando is easy to line up the connector, of course first you must learn the position...
it's cute! I own the deluxe for a second battery, but the normal one is enough if you don't plan a second battery!
I have to agree with @deiota mine came today and I am very happy with it.
Pics of both types of chargers
I purchased both types of chargers. One for the office & one for home.
I have had them for almost a month now. Please excuse all the dust & fingerprints
Ill post the deluxe model first.
Pics of the plain charger.
I have attached pics of the plain charger.
The plain charger I purchased for usd$14.99 and the deluxe was usd$24.99. I purchased both from ebay. I received them in about a week after placing my order. Both came with free shipping.
So the total was usd$39.98 for both units.
Connections:
Deluxe model - EXTUSB docking port / MINIUSB charging port / EXTUSB sync & audio port / 3.5mm Audio Port
Plain Model - MINIUSB docking port / MINIUSB charging port / MINIUSB Sync port
Both unit came with a US style (2-prong) AC Adaptor with the following specs:
Input = 100-240vac 50/60Hz
Output = 5v 1.5A (MINIUSB)
Both models works great. I actually prefer the plain model since the HTC TP2 sits "deeper" in the docking port which seems more secure and I still have easy access to the front buttons of the phone. I usually do not listen to music when charging the phone. I have placed these docking cradles in front of my computers at home & office so, if i had to listen to music, i use my computer.
