HI all,
i was wondering if Compact Flash card is supported with XDA2i, i found a site which says foldable GPS receiver for XDA2i for $109.95. But i want to confirm before i buy it. Please let me know
http://www.tangshop.com/xda-02-accessories.html (look at bottom for the item -foldable receiver )
Thanks
Srujan
None of XDA/XDA2/XDA2s/XDA2i/Compact devices have CompactFlash slot. You may connect CF device ONLY via optional RS232 cable (if this is supported by CF GPS receiver).
So information on the site is wrong.
You may choose any of BlueTooth or SD or even RS 232 only GPS receiver, but I suggest you to think on BlueTooth one.
- BT device occupies no SD slot which you will use for memory card to store maps
- it may be placed anywhere in the range of 10m from PDA
- some of the modern BT GPS may work up to 20 hours with built in battery.
And RS-232 GPS is a good solution for car as you may create one cable for connectiong PDA to GPS & power adapter (and even car handsfree)

Dear Friends,
I bought an MDA 2 (QTEK2020) and a wired XAIOX X3 GPS receiver and installed TOMTOM Navigator 3.01
The Xaiox is a rather new type I think (can receive up to 16 satellites)
I saw in the list of GPS Receivers that this brand XAIOX was not in, but on the website of Xaiox is mentionned that the gps protocol is NMEA 0183v3 compatible and you should pick 9600 baud rate.
In the TomTom list I saw NMEA 0183v2 9600 (version 2 only). I checked this one and waited 45 minutes,but didn't get any connection.
The field 'receive incomming beams' (like infrared,...) is set out,as i read this could block an incomming port like the receiver.
My Xaiox receiver has no lights,so I can't see any status. It had a serial cable out,and i bought a small piece to convert to USB, and this USB connects to a smaller type of usb on the bottom of the MDA2.
I'm not sure if I should choose 'Serial on Com1' or Serial on USB. But I tried both of them and still no connection. I also tried all of the other brands in the list like Destinator 3,SIRF 9600,TOMTOM,... but no connection.
This GPS receiver is brand new, and I tried it at home with power cable in, cause i the gps receiver had to load also. Also on the road no connection.
I updated to TomTom 3.03 but no change.
1>Is the GPS receiver NMEA protocol V3 too high for the one in the TomTom Navigator list (NMEA v2 only)?
2>Do I choose the wrong port or gps receiver model ?
3>Do I have to close phone connections in order to use GPS ?
I tried 'Turn Flight Mode Off' but it didn't work either...strange stuff...
Thanks and a happy 2005 everyone!!!![/b]
Usb will not work, it will need to be wired for serial connection, what is this mini usb converter you are using? The phone is not capable of communicating with a usb gps receiver because both the gps and the phone are usb slave devices and have no capability to talk to one another.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply - but CF cards don't work on the Wizard (which only has a mini-SD card slot...
Arnon
Am sure they will get something like that out soon. as it is in demand.
posting to this post to keep up-to-date
thanks
will keep you posted if i find one
Igo Pitch Due
I have an Igo Pitch Due its offers a bluetooth connection to the PDA and has a VGA out to the projector. There is also two ps2 connections for mouse and keyboard control of the PDA.
The coolest part is the the connection is wireless so you can roam the room with your PDA (or mobile phone) and present from power point wirelessly.

I got mine from expansys

One solution would be to install the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d6-1dcc-47aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&displaylang=en
Then you can use the ActiveSync Remote Display to display your PDA on your PC desktrop and then project that.
jeffmurray - you have the pitch working with your Wizard via BT? I can not get mine to see the same usable com port. Wiz wants it to be on 6 or 7 for BT Serial...but Quickpoint does not offer 6 ot 7 to use.
Any info would be most appriciated - thanks!

Hello everybody,
I'am looking for a new car radio with bluetooth for a bmw e46. It must support following features:
1. Bluetooth integrated in radio, no addional box and fit into bmw slot
2. hands-free set
3. Select and play (over radio) audio files from mobile phone SD card
4. Voice dial without prerecorded audio sample (in windows mobile) over car radio
Anybody a suggestion for a car radio that supports all that features ?
I don't know if it will support windows mobile phones, but supports ipod over bluetooth
Wireless connection with compatible devices provides hands-free calls, voice recognition dialing, audio streaming, and SMS message receipt notification. With AA-T100BT Bluetooth® transmitter, you can also stream music from your iPod.

Hi, if you want to keep you embeded radio system, you can add a module as ones devlopped by Parrot or IO.
I have the following system, working perfectly with my Touch HD
http://www.my-io.com/Products/iOPLAY.aspx
regards
I have one of these
http://www.ciao.co.uk/Sony_MEX_BT2600__6846323
works a treat - audio can be played from SD card through manilla or wmp with no problems - you can even skip tracks using the stereo whilst tomtom is on your screen and everything performs great. Audio is paused when a call comes in and resumes when the call ends.
The only drawback for me is there is no visual feedback on the player such as track name or callers name etc... but dont know if this is even possible.
parrot mki9100 or mki 9200
check out these products. plenty of videos on youtube
and getting mine fitted today £177 includes kit, bmw lead (1series) and installation at my house.
great kit does averything you want and more. includes an amp to better the bmw system. has sd/ipod usb connectors plus bluetooth music streaming and obviously the phone kit
my advice connectmycar.co.uk
its a carphonewarehouse company. cheapest around
Motorola T505
I have T505 and its exelent for car, home, picnic etc.
stremeng music and calls to your car stereo(A2DP BT) via the built-in Digital FM transmitter.
And good thinks is location (long battery life 5-6 days) in car -microfon is near.
Hear the number of the person calling

look for pioneers car-stereo with inbedded bluetooth
I have just installed a pioneer FH-P80BT Double Din and its is the bees knees.
It will do all you ask but i have not quite figured out how to do the Voice activated Dialing yet. Not sure if it will work with MSVC.
It auto downloads your phone book and you can dial from the Stereo itself.
You can also connect a laptop hard drive as the USB supports true 5v line.
Here is a link Clicky
Would be happy to answer any questions

hey nogs,
got the same in my new shape passat
i'd be careful about recommending it for use with portable HDD's though 0 it couldnt give enough juice to power up my WD Passport - but have to agree its a great headunit to pair up with the touch HD.
I use it to charge my device - just remember to use activesync mode just for charging otherwise you can't use your memory card for things like tom tom.

I've got a JVC KD-BT22 + a JVC DAB unit + an external 300GB HD (you could use a USB key instead or it has line in)
The JVC unit starts playing music from my Touch HD as I get into the car although having an external USB hardisk full of around 30gb's of music means I don't really need it.
It also works as a hands free (voice via the speakers, etc) the voice quality isn't brilliant on the unit as it doesn't use an external mic although I've read of some tweaks to make it better.

Ah right.... I have read on the MkiV Golf Forum it gives enough Juice so i was only going from what others have said.... I will be trying myself next week. According to the guys there, it only supports upto 250Gb and needs to be formatted FAT32.
I'll be opting for the 160Gb version myself.
Also... have you managed to activate MSVC via the long press of the Esc--Band button ?
PS- schranzistor - sorry to hijack this thread.
Nogs
ah! I don't think my drive was formatted to FAT32 (probably NTFS) which is why it didn't pick it up- dunno to be honest as I wasnt really that bothered having my HD with all its music on Also I had swapped out my internal 250GB WD drive with my PS3's standard 40Gb drive - maybe why it was supping a bit more juice than a standard WD one....
It was however making the infamous clicking sound you get when a drive doesnt have enough power to it - I might try it again later at some point when I have more than 2Gb of stuff I need access to in my car
I'm sure I tried that MSVC thing with Duttys 1.7 ROM a while back and it didnt work - I've got his 2.1 Xtreme ROM now so will give it another try tommorow morning.
It's a great headunit but I find it a bit plasticy for my liking (my fault for selling my Pioneer reference system I suppose!) - Button presses feel cheap and that front screen attracts dust quicker than my PC at home!

How did you connect KD-BT22 with external HDD?
Parrot
I have a Parrot i200 and it's brilliant.
I have galaxy 10.1 and would like to know if anyone has ever used it with a "backup" camera in a car and also connected it to an external GPS antenna?
I've read the cable forums and there are no pins for "video in" or anything for GPS antenna. My goal is to permanently install Wi-fi version in console in car (current monitor is "dumb" 10" LCD). Touchscreen Galaxy with cached maps and ability to use external GPS antenna and have video inputs would be ideal.
I realize I could piecemeal all the components (separate GPS with USB, WiFi for video camera, etc) but the wired option would be cheaper replacement.

You can buy a cheap bluetooth gps and then install an app called bluetoothGPS on your tablet. It reads the data off the external gps via bluetooth and displays it on the screen. Dont think there is support for video though
