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...

try:

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...

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 @

I've bought mini USB cable with charging option and charging works great but my PC doesn't recognize my HTC Diamond connected with that cable to USB. It works with the original one but with that I've bought synchronizing data on any USB ports just doesn't work.It seems that PC needs special driver for that cable.
Could anyone Help?
all (mini)usb cables should charge your phoen when you connect it to the PC anyway so i don't understand how this cable is different, could you please provide a link to it or something?
I got a mini USB cable used with my mp3 player and it just synchronizes data with my Diamond but it doesn't charge so not every mini USB cable sync data and charge...
I've bought my cable on polish auction site byt that one mini USB cable is exactly the same.
The problem is you have bought a "charging" cable, I'm guessing if you chopped it in half (please don't) there would only be two wires, a positive and negative.
These cables are designed to provide power only, otherwise the cable would be a lot thicker.
You would want something like this:

But don't quote me on that or you might get the same problem, ring up before you buy.
The cable you have with your MP3 player wouldn't be designed to charge if your MP3 player isn't designed to charge, manufactureres will save money even if it's on a few strands of extra cable.
There are 3 types of cables I've come accross:
1) ExtUSB -> Used by HTC only. Main difference is that this cable can transport audio as well. You only need to use this cable if youre listening to songs. (Your earphone connector is a true extUSB one) - the rest is the same as miniUSB
2) Normal miniUSB -> You can use this cable for charging and synching. As simple as that. Same cable used by non-HTC devices
3) Abnormal miniUSB -> Heh.. I don't know what to call this, but im sure you've seen some really thin retractable cables. They seem to work with certain devices only. I have 1 and it used to work on my Cruise/Artemis/Atom, but NOT on my diamond. Nevertheless, I can charge the device ONLY. -> I believe you've encountered this kinda cable
Check out the following posts: I've got a solution if youre really onto retractable cables that will sync+charge your diamond:

I'm sure I have encountered 3rd case. My retractable cable description says that it is for synchronizing data and charging but as you said maybe it works fully only with certain devices.
I think I will look for USB hub with retractable cable and that I've bought I will use for charging only...
Thanks

That is a picture of the AC Adapter that came with my HTC Touch Pro. The cable was nice and flat, very easy to put away and pull out. It is a Mini-USB, and all new phones are Micro-USB, but I can't find a new version of that cable.
Does anyone know where I could find one? Either in AC form or just regular cable form. The retractable one in my car is shaped like that, but I can't find any on my own, so I look to my friends at XDA for help.
Hello. Can someone please take a photo of the connecting end of the data cable for the 750v and post it to me?
Also, will the phone charge from the USB port?
I just bought a second have 750v and it doesn't come with a cable, and I only really need a USB one if it will charge.
I've had many Treo's before, but I don't think I have any cables anymore, and I can't remember which they used...
Thanks, Chris
yes you can charge with usb cable
usb cable available online stores
Hi All,
I have a GROM Audio interface installed in my car which is great for using my phone as media player over my car stereo.
However, I don't think it sends enough juice (amps?) over the +5V to power the handset when I'm using navigation - I see a battery drain when using any nav software.
Is there any cable out there which will take 2 micro USB females to a single male plug? One so that I can send power from my cig plug and one so I can connect the data to the GROM unit?
Is this even possible?
TIA
Same here

I have the exact same issue with a GROM and Note 4. The GROM can't supply quick charging and all the Y cables that I can find out there get power from both sources and then have a max passthru of 1 amp (probably to protect all 3 connected devices from each other). I may have to try making my own and split out data and power (or mod an existing Y cable by cutting the power leads to the data connector so that one side is data and the other is power). Too bad someone doesn't just make one like that.
