Hi,
title says it all really... I damaged my cable. As I still have the Haicom receiver, I still want to use it.
I can't find this cable anywhere.
The cable in question is the in car charger cable for the XDA/XDA2 but also connects the GPS receiver to the XDA. The connection to the Haicom HI-203e is a PS/2 connector (same as older mouse or keyboard).
If anyone knows where I can get one of the in the UK i'd appreciate it if you could let me know where.....
XDA2 is a cool tool...

or ebay sellers usually sell them for £20
Or if your capable with a soldering iron you can make yourself one

tried it...
Thanks Swifty.
Tried to do this but used a incar charger instead of the car kit.
Didn't work.
The HI-203e was getting power but not enough...
I think the resistor in the car charger must be bigger than the one in the proper cable...
And, I have also tried to find this cable on Ebay...
Impossible, if anyone does find one tho let me know.
I have scoured the Internet trying to find this cable with NO joy...
Sno
phone up GPS systems and ask...... :roll:
Sno, you can always grab a universal incar ciggy adaptor from maplin or similar, they are only £7 then just set the dial to 5Volts (or whatever the 203 needs) then put the + and - cables onto the cable you made, obviously you will need a ciggy lighter splitter for your car, so that you can use your charge cable, and gps @ the same time. Or grab yourself a female lighter socket and cable it upto your battery..
..got it...
managed to find it @

Hi there,
I currently have a recently deceased ipaq 3630 with GPS cable, currently hardwired into my car (I just took the plastics off the plug, hard wired it to ground and ignition power and re-boxed it)
Anyways, I also have an Orange M1000 with 2 cradles, and I'm a cheap*ss mofo.... so what I'm basically planning on is:-
get pinouts for ipaq 3630
get pinouts for M1000 (I see they're in a post in this forum)
cut ipaq end off GPS cable and strip
cut usb end off M1000 cradle cable and strip
using multimeter buzz out the pin -> colour on each of the cables
wire together
glue (or duck tape or something) cradle into car
I'm working on the theory that the gps -> ipaq connection is going to have power and tx/rx which will be all I need for the gps, and that the M1000 cradle will have the same for activesync.
Anyone done this or similar, or does anyone think I'm just crazy?
Cheers
Doogie
Answering my own question because noone else did
The cradle I had was for USB not serial and I couldn't manage to get serial over USB option working in tomtom..... I opened the cradle (T6 driver), split the cable to leave the power going where it was but split out the 2 usb cables and I buzzed out some points on the board where there was connectivity to the 8 & 10 pins... little bit of soldering and reassembly and I now have a serial cradle with power that connects to my GPS..... now just need to make it look purty in my car
Hi there i live in the UK and im looking for spare parts to fix my Broken XDA II. I need to replace the charger / usb port and was wondering if any knows where i can get these parts from so that i can fix it my self. I would rather buy and fix the parts my self than paying some one else to do it for me as this costs me a fortune.
Many thks for your help.
I also need these parts repaired. Oh yes and Proporta can't do it so save yourself £15. Please let me know if you find someone who can!
well ive emailed loads of repair places and they havent got back to me. I am curreenly trying to bid on some broken phones on ebay but ppl just keep going to high on there prices.
maybe ill get lucky.
try www.merconline.co.uk
PDASMART Horror Story
Just make sure not to use PDASMART. They are not reliable at all.
I posted the same question few months ago, and I was told to contact merconline. I wrote them an e-mail, but still haven't received an answer.
If anyone knows where can we purchase that bottom connector, we will be very thankful.
cheers,

Hi everyone,
I just googled a little, and found this web sites that sell spare parts:
http://www.ipaqrepair.co.uk/view_product.php?product=554
This site is for ipaq's but can anyone confirm that we can use this connector for our qtek's/imate's/xda's etc???
Also, this is even better option:
http://www.imate-shop.com/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=39
I beleive this is what we need, I wrote them an e-mail, to check if they ship worldwide.
cheers,

This is the IPAQ connector
This is from pinouts.ru
Can moderators confirm that this means the 22-pin connector from the ipaq 3800 can be used in the qtek2020
http://pinouts.ru/data/pda_wallaby_pinout.shtml
Wallaby and Himalaya come with two connectors on the bottom. Also for MDA, XDA, Eurotel DataPhone.

The connector pinout
1 CAR_MIC_IN
2 GND / SENSE
3 CAR_AUDIO_R
4 CAR_AUDIO_L
5 ANALOG GND
6 RS232_DCD
7 RS232_CTS
8 RS232_TXD
9 RS232_RTS
10 RS232_RXD
11 RS232_DTR
12 NC
13 USB_VDD
14 UDC+
15 UDC-
16 GND
17 GND
18 GND
19 CAR_ON#
20 V_ADP
21 V_ADP
22 V_ADP
Notes:
CAR_ON# is connected to +6V/+5V on the car charger, it"s not connected in the cradle. +6V/+5V makes the phone go to speaker mode immediately when picked up or dialing. When this pin is connected to ground, the internal mike and speaker are turned off, and audio input is taken from the audio input pin on the connector, for use in real car kits.
Pin 2 GND / SENSE is not necessary. it seems that if it"s grounded, the phone hangs up when placed in a DIY Car-holder for example. - leave it unconnected.
Pin 5 ANALOG GND - connect this to your sound Input/output-GND (Speaker/Microphone) - do not connect this with the other GND"s - it makes a lot of noise on the analog input/outputs. Audio needs to be capacitively coupled in, any DC bias seems to inhibit audio.
If RS232_DCD is pulled to +6V/+5V, the device turns on and ActiveSync is started. The serial port powers down and needs to be reopened after the device goes in power-save mode.
USB power also wakes up the device and starts ActiveSync. UDC+ and UDC- are the USB data connections. One person reported measuring them the other way around.
Cable to plug into computer
This is the cable you need to talk to the Wallaby or Himalaya serially from a computer, such as is needed with our Manipulator program or for using ActiveSync through the serial port. Techies like us call it a "null-modem cable", O2 describes it as a "serial hotsync cable". Optionally, if you wish to be able to power/charge to XDA while using this cable, you could hook up a female connector that mates with the connector on your power adapter between Ground (pins 2,5,etc. on XDA) and pins 20,21 and 22 on the XDA. Make sure the center conductor on the power connector goes to pins 20,21 and 22.

Cable to plug into modem or GPS
This cable will connect to devices which come with a cable to plug into a PC serial port, such as a modem. If you are connecting to a device that only uses RX, TX and GND (such as many GPS receivers), you may only need the wires which connect to pins 2, 3 and 5 on the 9-pin serial connector. And you can, optionally, hook up a charging interface in the same way as described above.

I'd feel better in doing this on my xda 2 if there were some pictures
of taking the thing apart to illustrate rather then working blind.
like what's up with that void sticker under the battery?
Have you got pics or a sync/charge socket replacement repair being done?
What quality of soldering tools do you need? fine?
heellp!
have you seen this:
http://x-mini.com/XminiHome.html
i bought the single version for 20 euro's. the sound is amazing from a speaker that small. and it comes with a rechargable battery, that can be charged with the diamond charger. (it really is amazing. when i turned it on i went wow, and so did everybody in the room, which is about 15 meters long)
it connects to the sound source with a 3,5 earphone plug. but the speaker itself has a miniusb connection for sound and power.
has anyone seen a connector that has extusb on one side and miniusb MALE on the other side? or miniusb to miniusb with sound connected?
Would something like this with the correct male/female miniusb cable work?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-in-1-USB-11...256513191QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270256513191
no it needs to be male to male.
and not as bulky

I have a very small 3.5 jack. I think I can fine space to install it in my phone and then thinking of sending the wire into the usb port at the bottom.
I have this info:
http://pinouts.ru/Home/Tele35s_pinout.shtml
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config
My question is, if I just connect the wire up. How does the software know there is a headset attached to the phone? or will it always think there is?
it measure the resistance between ground and left and right
a normal headset connected would maybe give 8ohm where no headset connected would be infinity ohms
thanks.
does it matter which gnd wire i use? I notice there are 2 different ones
