Hello guys,
Finally I had the chance to mount this headunit on my Ford Focus 2014.
My first impression are very positive because there are a lot of improvements from the previous model the m700s.
1. Phone call quality.
2. Fakra connector for gps and 4g+.
3. New fan cooling.
For the rest is like the previous model without any type of problem.
I am very satisfied with my new headunit.
Here are same photos of the M6 pro

Am I crazy or is there simply no way to have the side buttons always illuminated? It seems to only work off of a 'time'(no way to adjust what time though?) or with the headlights (I don't have canbus to trigger this)

connect the illumination wire on the main harness to (switched) +12v. Whatever you have powering the the ACC wire will do.
What canbus setting you use.
I have panel buttons like you and have hi world vw2012 and the buttons don't work on my mekede 6/128 nonpro.

I've just bought one of those on ebay. I strongly reccomend not to get one with a wire, they just fall out and break
Hi Guys
I found that making one is easier. Just take your headset, open the mic housing with a knife, remove the headphones and solder a 3.5 jackplug in. In the pics here I used a Touch Dual headset...It has a volume control.

Hi Driskol
This one you are looking at will not work. There are of these adaptors availible for the HTC, But the one in the link you sent has a mini usb plug and not the HTC type...However that is exactly the ones I use to convert the standard headsets.
The standard MiniUSB has all its conections on the wide side of the connector, where the HTC connector has all the audio connections on the narrow side. see pic

he he..I´m very familiar with this procedure since I used Motorola phones for years It was the best way how to make own adapter ´cause I tried 4 stock motorola adapters and no of them worked properly so I did it my way
btw: mini usb from motorola doesn´t work on HTC for audio - it works only for data connection
I just received my order from http://cnn.cn/shop/audio-adapter-ext...ap-p-4118.html

Samsung have declared that galaxy S does have a TV-OUT but i still haven't seen the TV-OUT port yet also i still haven't read that it comes with a TV-OUT cable so does anybody know if it really has a TV-OUT and how it exactly work ?
Look it in the manual, the Galaxy S does have TV Out through the 3.5mm audio jack. My old Nokia N95 also had this, although never used it. The downside is that just ouputs standard definition, so no 720p
i interested to know as was planning to use that to output to the car 2din player and display the gps on there. so far i tried the demo, there is a TV out setting that lets you choose NTSC and PAL. i think the cable should be the same as the Omina 2. anyone tired it out can let us know?
thanks.
For those wondering about tv-out...

Just saw this myself on youtube - great news! I have like three spare Nokia TV-Out cables. Likely to be a quite bit more useful than DLNA TV-Out for me...

It amazes me the amount of other Surgeons & Doctors I come across here.
Sorry to hear about your new born's condition.
I know you know but to all others here an infant with collick can be quite stressful for parents as the child can cry for up to several hours a day.
At nine weeks old you could still be in for some sleepless nights as it can last up to four months......

My pleasure.... If any part of what you find comes as good advice/help then that is all that matters.
I know parents find it extremely difficult to cope in any situation with their child, that's why we must ensure they too are treated as patients.
I ordered the same one from amazon for £2, free postage and packaging. Works pretty decent, sounds a bit low, and I haven't managed to get rid of the borders, but I haven't messed around with overscan on the tv, but it should fix it.

Providing one end is a 3.5mm Jack and the other is the normal Red/White/Yellow then there shouldn't be any difference.
It's just a standard Audio/Video cable... the compatibility lies with the phone not with the cable.
My one is marked Nokia but it works on the SGS.
Thats not correct, I bought some standard HAMA av cable and its not working, it just shows some crippled screen with lines with humming sound in the backgroud.
Anyone knows when will this goes on sale? And for how much?
It's designed for the Lumia 920, but since it also use the Qi wireless charging standard, it works with the N4 (confirmed by a N4 reviewer on youtube, can't remember which video that is though).

I'm not buying a charger for a third of the money I spent on the phone, no matter how fancy it looks like.
Looks like I finally know what to ask for for X-Mas from the GF. She always gets pissed because anytime I want something I just buy it instead of waiting to get it as a gift.
EDIT: I just sent her the link and her response was "If you buy that before Christmas I'm going to punch you in the face." ...looks like I did a good job this time.
I think the FatBoy looks cool and easy to carry when travelling, we just need it to go down in price!
Does anyone have a clue if it's actually cushioned (inside stuffed with some sort of foam etc.) or if it's just covered in a pillow sleeve? Reason I ask is I plan on having one of these on my bed, since I sleep in a big bed and don't use a bedside table.

Thanks for the pictures...how stable is the phone on that charger? It's pretty small, looks like it could easily fall off
Update: the charger seems to be switching on and off keeping the screen on at times, when the phone is OFF it charges fine.
Wonder if its software related?

I am going back to the store to check if it works on their display charger, maybe I just have a faulty one.

Hi, any update if the nokia Qi charger would work? Did you managed to test the phone with the chargers on display? appreciate it. thanks!
For those of you interested in the Fatboy Pillow, do note that inside the pillow part is the exact same DT-900 charger that many have reported problems with (see jmquez above). Not sure if the pillow cures those, but it's worth keeping in mind before spending ~$100.

...On the other hand, this is one of those things where having multiples would be totally fine.
That thing looks like something I would bump in the night and catapult my phone into something hard. Looks cool though.
Thought i'd post this on a few of the threads regarding wireless chargers so people can see that there are other options out there other than the LG pad, nokia pillow etc...
Found this whilst browsing for other QI chargers. Looks quite nice and seems to have a rubbery surface to prevent the phone from slipping.

I was going to get it, but the chance of me getting it now is @ about 10% now. I wanted to buy it so that I wouldn't have to take my phone out to skip a track or something. But since I have a Bluetooth set now, I don't really have a need for it.

I just do not want to wait:silly:
But I wanna tell you I have a Sony smart watch and compare to Pebble the Sony is terrible !
-I can't just plug the charger cable and charge Sony smartwatch. It's connecting/reconnecting., so I need to find good position for stably charge. (maybe my unit is defective).
-The sony belt is always dirty and dusty. Always.
-The screen is got a bad responding to fingers. (I know how to fix it. You need to press and hold then it will work, but it's stupid)
-Bad on sun-light.
-Battery is bad. I need to charge them every 2 days. Because after 1 day I have a half charge. (and I don't want to risk, so I charge every day.)
The design is not comparable with Pebble.
I was surprised when I saw how it looks on hand. Very solid man.
The Pebble is not using the BT 4.0 BLE, right?
I would like to buy a Casio GB-6900AA but it connects only with BLE compatible devices...

It doesn't have wifi since it works with a BT connection.
Weather function to do what? Your phone could send that info to your watch tho, so the watch won't need such thing by itself.

Why not? This is the best device for that!
It's not a dock, but I actually use a Twelve South Compass stand. My current one is rigged with a small Qi charger in the middle for the Nexus 7, and while Nexus 9 can't charge that way, it sits on the stand just fine. I tend to store it in landscape when I do use it.

This is the only thing that I've found, but the reviews are lumped with the lightning version, so its hard to get a good idea on overall consensus. I can't decide if I should order it to find out for myself or not.

Looking at the connector, it appears to be oriented the wrong way. As in to make the tablet plug in, the display will face the dock and not you. I could be wrong on that.
How does the tablet know it's docked rather than connected to a charger? I ask as I'm curious how it will know when to daydream.

Good catch. I hadn't noticed that. Now I'm back to square one.
What about this?
Well the original purpose of a dock is to put the device on the stand for charging and/or syncing instead of having to fiddle around and manually connect a cable. This works fine for that i suppose.
Having it act like a alarm clock or whatever is not what makes it a dock. That's just a feature that some docks have but is not a prerequisite.

I would avoid this. It looks nice but it's a pain in the ass to plug in. Here's the bottom of my Nexus 7

To be fair, you probably just jammed it in without regard for your tablet.
Others here don't treat them so badly.
If you're careful, any dock can work.
Just a word of advice for those looking for a dock.
The Nexus 7 and 9 are the only ones I've owned that have the microusb socket the OTHER way around than my other ones.
Any update on the ever dock with the n9? Curious to see if it fits. Thanks.

I hope HTC will release an official dock. The offical dock from ASUS for the Nexus 7 was the best.

I received mine, and I can confirm that it does work. I plan to do a deeper review, but a very quick one. It works, I like it, but you may want to modify it slightly and easily. I'll get some pictures up and a review soon.
Thanks

Updated first post with new dock that should work, on sale currently as well if anyone wants to give it a shot.
Thanks

Could you please post pictures with the N9 on the dock? I would like to see how it fits there. Thanks.
