Does anyone have a schematic diagram of the contact details of the 4 connection 2.5mm socket on the MDAlll ?
I had an Autocom audio system for my bike/car for Christmas. Autocom provide a lead 2.5mm to 3.5mm but it's just the 3 contact type, they said they'd make me up a lead if I could provide the above info.
I don't have the pin assignments of the Autocom sockets.
Cheers

Yes..
I need the pinout of the O2 XDA II car kits RJ45 female connector.
I am close: http://home.teleport.com/~n3eg/rsgps.htm
But this has 6 pins and a different shape on the GPS connector..
I have a 4 pin RJ 45 style female connector..
Can anyone help me out?
(If we find it, we should add it to the Wiki as well...)
Doesn't anyone have info on this?
Does anyone have any idea of where I can get it, whom I should contact?
i will have a look monday for you.
John
GREAT!
Tahn you SOOO much!

Did you find out anything?
I still haven't been able to figure this thing out...[/b]
i think that you're connector is actually an RJ11 or RJ13. RJ45 has 8 conductors, the other two have six and four, but which, I forget. It may help you in your quest.... Good Luck!
Hi - I'd like to splice a decent pair of headphones into a usb plug to use on an o2 xda orbit - will this work and does anyone know whats what. I know you can buy adapters but that's not what I want. It'd be handy to know what one was the fm aerial too.
Thanks

Have a look at the wiki, and You will find this link:

Hope that helps, but never ask me where You can get such connector from
I think, the better way is, to open the mic-housing, and to replace the generic headphones with a 3.5mm stereo jack
USB Pinout
Hi, be advised that the USB port is digital only, the digital to analog converter is integrated in the small mic/volume/phone button box on the cable. so, if you want another headset open the box or cut the wires.
Hi!
Try this accessory from HTC, I think it is a better solution.

Hi All,
I have the T-Mobile MDA Compact III and I am trying to find an adapter/cable that will allow me to connect the mini-USB socket on the phone the 3.5mm jack-in socket on my car stereo. Any suggestions or recommendations? Is there such an adapter or am I looking a car-kit?
I've done some searches but only found adapter that changes the USB socket into a 3.5mm socket...it doesn;t give me the 3.5mm pin needed to plug into the stereo.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

So, you just buy a cable with two pins, too!

I use one of these addaptors http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=144684 this allows you to play music via the 3,5MM and still connect the charger cable at the same time - Mike

I too use this adapter. In fact I have 2 off them 1 incar and 1 for work. charger phonne and variate from speakers to headphones when required ;-)
Value for money if bought from ebay (too lasy to supply a link lol)

I am looking for an option like that but such a cable doesnt work with my (still to be purchased) carkit
Since I wrote that I have purchased a new car head unit which accepts either 3,5MM for Aux feed input or (much better) you can use A2DP for a Bluetooth connection and get decent quality sound without wires - Mike
dear mike,
I have a radio with that ability as well but up until now i cant get the handsfree set to work with my htc herald (while it worked perfectly with my previous phone), so i also cant play my music on my carradio. Perhaps I wil digg in to that again Thanx for reminding me
I already posted on Diamond forum, but since there are no answers...please help
OK, got this YC A300 extension cable (http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?product=B55C8C07-36B2-4A28-9A76-F11CB37A5A3A) with MIC IN LINE SUPPORT and wanted to connect earphones (discreet in ear earbuds) AND external microphone in purpose of making my headset as invisible as possible.
Now, I reckon I need to buy (make?) some adapter to put both of my devices into one 3.5mm jack found on YC A300.
Sooo, what do you think would this work with my setup (http://www.x50v.it/content/view/1159/69/)?
Again, my thoughts were if that Axim thing has 3.5mm jack with mic line in, my idea could work on Diamond too?
P.S. Since HTC support (like 3 countries where I sent my inquiry) don't know *hit about this (although they manufacture this audio extension cable) I wanted to check with someone who knows something before I find some audio service shop and ask them to solder me the adapter mention above.
Hi all,
I am trying to install the above into an Audi A4 which is a canbus vehicle.
I got everything plugged in and it all looked to be working fine but after 2-3 minutes the unit always switches itself off. I have noticed the Canbus adapter always gets very hot as well just before the unit switches off.
Could I have connected something incorrectly for this behaviour to occur?
Thanks
Please be more specific.
Do you have ISO connectors?
The CanBus module should be allready wired to the comnector. It was not? If no, post the wiring diagram received (maybe you feed 12 V in a 5V input?....).
În order to get help post pictures and more info.
Hi. The fitting kit I have used is the following;
http://caraudiosecurity.com/ctkau02-audi-a4-2002-2006-complete-double-din-facia-kit
The Canbus adapter is plugged in via the attachment to the ISO cable.
Let me know if you need any pictures.
Thanks
I'm sure there is no easy way to find the problem.
I would do the following :
First make sure that all pins in all connectors are firmly in their place (see below the example).
Get correct pinout data for all connectors (Car connectors, HU, the adaptor kit and the CanBus module and also the pinout for the old stereo). When searching for the car connectors pinout make sure you find the correct one (year, model, audio system type, etc).
After having all the data you should search for any mismatch (power instead of data, different voltages, etc).
I recomend this beacuase I bumped in a similar problem with my car. I have a Mazda 6 and for the same model and year the car Hu connector differs for the Bose system version and the non Bose version, and the pinout of the adapter and Hu is not taking in consideration this posibility. Therefore I had to cut and reconnect some wires.
And one more thing : when I installed my Hu, some pins slipped out of their slots inside the connectors and my CanBus module was beep-ing constantly and the Hu was not starting at all. I had to use a very thin metal rod to push them back into position (with the connectors plugged in).
Thanks for your help. It turns out a Parrot bluetooth module was installed at some point and they have a good mess with the wiring and piggubacked onto the cars wiring. I am having to use that to power the unit now as it stops it turning off after 3 minutes. My next problem is that I don't have the steering controls option available in the settings menu. Any idea why?
If you are using CanBus you do not need that menu. The Hu has two 5V out and two inputs. If you have non CanBus Swc you need to take the 5V wire, pass it through your Swc and then to the Hu Swc input (the clasic controls usses resistors with different values for each button that atenuates the 5V from the Hu in different values for each button pressed and the Hu read that value through the swv input). So if your 5V wire and Swc input is not connected, you will not have the menu available. Once connected you must first go to factory menu and define each button (see the user manual))

Thanks. I've attached some pictures to show how the unit is connected to the Canbus adapter.
Key1 5V is connected to its equivalent going to the Canbus adapter.
Key2 5V is as above
GND is as above
Do I have it correct and am I just required to correctly map the buttons now?
Thanks
Still can't get this working.
Should I reset the headunit, update MCU and software or does it look like my wiring is wrong?
Thanks
No one can help you without being there. If you do no have the skills to do it yourself you should go to a electronics service.
As I said, you have to analyze all data. You must get all pin-outs and characteristics for your car.
You must know if your Swc is resistive or Can-bus.
With the car main stereo connectors pinout you will see what you have (resistive Swc, Can-bus wires, external amp signal, etc) and theirs place in the connector.
With the Hu pinout you will know what does the Hu can provide and what pins you should use.
And in your case you have a adapter in the middle, for witch you also need the pinout to make sure that everything is routed correctly.
After you have a clear diagram for your car you must check if fizicaly everything is as it should be.
How to get the pin-outs?
The Hu pinout should be on a sticker on the Hu itself.
For the car connectors you must first decode you vin and get info like year, options, version (usualy a more detailed pinout you find if you search the old stereo pin-out by it's exact make and model).
And for the adapter you must get it from the seller or from the Internet.
You said that before you, someone made modifications to wiring; this is one more reasons to get all informations and make yourself a clear wiring diagram for you to be able to start troubleshooting.
I realy wish I could help more but I can't, and there is nobody else that can give you help without being there to see (otherwise it would allready said sommething)
Best regards!
