Hello all,
I have a now redundant Holux Powered cradle and GPS receiver for sale if anyone's interested.
A bit of info:
http://www.totalgps.com/Holux-Powered-GPS-PDA-Mount-for-XDA-Series-I-Mate-Q-Tec-2020.aspx
I used it with my xda2s - I do NOT know if it works with other XDA's.
It powers your xda2s, and is a powered GPS receiver all in one. No more cables all over the place! It's offical name is Holux CR-100.
It cost me £90 but it's just taking up space here now so any reasonable offer will be considered.
It is in perfect condition, still with the box and all bits and docs.
HOWEVER!!!!! I had it hard wired to my car.......SO, either hard wire it to yours, or re-attach the cigarette bit, which I still have.
Payment via paypal please.
Any questions I'll be happy to answer.
Cheers
HPJ
I am interested, but why do you say redundant. Did you change your phone or was it made redundant due to a upgrade of some sort.
I live in London and need to know the price you want for it and if you dont live close, then how much shipping would be.
Thanks,
Farhad
hello,
I've been thinking. Every time I go exercise I take my Polaris with me.
It measures where i've been (GPS tracking) and entertains me (BT stereo). But now I would like to know my heartrate as well (and i don't feel like buying yet another watch)
Does anybody know a BT heart rate monitor?
I've done some googleing and came up with a system from Alive technologies, but as far as i can see it's more focussed towards health care than exercise. Furthermore it's not available in Europe, which is a problem for me since i live in belgium.
Thanks for the help.
Not sure there are any viable ones out there at the moment, my basic googling found that theres work being done on a bluetooth profile suitable for medical devices.
This would be a huge find for me. My 10mo son had heart surgery when he was 4mo's and we have a home monitor but would love to have something more portable for trips and random checks of his heartrate. I'll definitely be looking into the Alive technologies products, thanks for the info!
Edit - The alive technologies product is exactly what I have been looking for. I've emailed the company for more information. Thanks so much again for this find John!!!
2nd Edit - Found out they're not FDA approved so they're not available to the public yet, only research groups and universities. They expected to have it released to the public by the end of the year for anyone interested. No prices were given either....
Thanks for the update 2ksilverbullet
Did they mention anything about some more extensive software for training ?
Unfortunately no comment was made to the training software, sorry.
Just letting you know, Polar Heart rate systems interfear with BT, whops, other way around. If I training with my BT turned on, the signal from my polar HR monitor doesnt work till I turn BT off.
Hello,
have a look here:

Let know if it could be useful.

MiCoach system (Adidas/Samsung)
This nice running system by Samsung and Adidas is worth mentioning; the feature to track your results like speed/heart-rate/etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nXdFtmG1LA -> I want this, or a stripped down version of it (read: cheaper).
On their site (that is http://www.micoach.com) it is unclear what sort of signal is being used. I presume it Is bluetooth, but they probably made their own protocol to communicate:
"Can I use my own heart rate monitor with miCoach? No, miCoach is a complete and stand-alone system. The Heart Rate Monitor connects via a specific signal to the phone and stride sensor."
2ksilverbullet, have you tried Polar HR Monitors?
You can use Vidaone's software to transfer all your HR trainning/records to your mobile: 1. directly, if your gadget has a IrDA port (with MySportTraining and VidaOne Polar); 2. from you PC (Win), with a specifically soft (VidaOne Diet and Fitness and the two previous on your mobile).
I'm using Polar for more than 9 year for my diary training and they are simply the best HR monitor in the market. The same accuracy as an electrocardiogram (I already tested it with my cardiologist).
If you need any other help, do not hesitate to ask/post it.
I think theres no device we can buy, I'm after a device like this also.
bt hrm
hey
I wonder if it is any gps programs you can use with a BT HRM? it would be wonderful to use the mobil phone as a cycle computer or a tour gps.
if it is any programs plz list
Hello,
does anybody know, what is the price for Zephyr BT HRM or HxM belt, without SDK.
I cannot find price on their website.
Thanks
I found the following quote on youtube (posted 3 months ago).
The BT BioHarness is available with SDK from Ribatel in Portugal (see our website for details), or from Zephyr direct. The RRP is US$1325.
We also have a BT HRM and BT HxM (heart rate with speed & distance)available with an SDK. These are US$100 and US$120 + shipping respectively.
The quote is from someone at Zephyr.
Run GPS (www.rungps.net) provides the best offroad GPS application, IMO. You can import map, track. It provides vocal guidance according to your track, records your position and, optionnaly, it is able to minor your heart by using BT heart monitor.
Now, there is a large community that shares tracks for several sports (hiking, bike, jogging and running, ...)
Go to the web site, and see by yourself.
An interesting application of the bt heartrate monitor is analysis of sleep phases to produce a wakeup alarm during REM. This greatly reduces drowsiness, and allows to wakeup the the most refreshed.
HRM for PDA
Did anyone else find a worthwhile sports oriented HRM method for PDA/PPC?
I just broke another polar HRM, they are rubbish, too flimsy & fidly for mountain biking
I use one of the gps trackers from here and stash my diamond away in a padded pocket in my backpack.
The altsoft stuff is way too expensive and the rungps is just gps logging, not a HRM
I think like a lot of folks I not training to be an elite athlete, I'd just like to monitor my hear rate on my ppc.
Anyone try a Zephyr strap yet?
Bike Dashboard GPS with Heart Rate Monitor
This is my first post here, so forgive me if this has already been mentioned; but, I came across this site that has a freeware program called "BikeDashboard" that I have been playing with for a few days. Works fine with my Verizon XV6800 flashed to a GPS capable ROM. Very 'thumb friendly'. I don't have a BT heart rate monitor yet; but, the software developer of Bike Dashboard says he uses the Zephyr XhM. Check out the website for more info:

Cheers!
Polar and Nokia have teamed up and make the Nokia Sports Tracker. I can't figure out how to buy one though. With so many great sport tracking apps out for the Android platform BT HRMs can't be far off.
It looks like the Zephyr HxM bluetooth bundle from rungps.net is the best bet, but is expensive. $230 USD!
For reference, here are all the links from this thread and the Nokia info I found:

Has anyone used a BT heart rate monitor.....
......with any of these programs? I have narrowed it down to two programs RUNGPS and Athlosoft. Both are very expensive solutions but the BT heart rate monitor seems to be a very new item. Any other suggestions on a fitness program with BT heart rate monitor? I am also intrested to know if these programs will monitor your workout in a gym, while using cardio equipment?
Thanks
Hello all,
This is my first post but have been reading here for a long time.
I was wondering if anyone already has found a bluetooth heart rate monitor and an application to go with it (Android or WM).
The nokia teaming with polar seems nice, but is not an option for me (Just got a new Android phone).
And when one has a BT heart rate monitor, can software (i.e. reading the heart rate and storing it) be easily developed ? Off course, on XDA anything can be developed but are people willing to ?
Greetings, Bert
as we all know, bluetooth is so very useful in streaming precious music in our cars. but alot of our budget cars dont come with them. alot of radios are ugly. the bt35-TOY and bt35-HON are two items i found which are easy to install and really helpful for my toyota with my galaxy s3! work as a stereo headset with a mic you can lead out into your glovebox or something. around 120$. a little expensive compared to the radios for $70 with bluetooth but a few things, at least from my opinion, those radios can be ugly, and the better looking ones are more expensive, i lose steering wheel control, unless if i drop another $20. i also need extra cables and installation is more complicated. totalling up to 110 and extra work. your choice still.
edit: http://usaspec.com/userfiles/BT35_Manual_complete.pdf the user manual which shows the supported car list
I have a Toyota Corolla that I want to do this to.
Let me know how it goes.
Does this kit work with other cars???

Here’s my review on Choetech’s Wireless Bluetooth Audio Transmitter/Receiver
Product link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MDV9ZHC
UPDATE: I just realized they have a PROMO code for $10 OFF to! ENTER this at amazon checkout: B8FC6Z6Q:good:
First off, this wireless bluetooth audio unit is truly a unique device. I love the ability to use it as a receiver and a transmitter! This device is about the size of a Gatorade cap - that’s nice. I can tell you that it also does exactly what it says, and it does it well!
I've used many different Bluetooth audio devices over time including big name devices like the Soundsports by Bose, Jawbone's Big Jambox, and many, many more. As far as it’s ability to respond to your needs, Choetech’s 2-in-1 Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver is right up there with the more expensive units. For me to be happy with any Bluetooth device it had better be able to produce one thing - this can be summed up in a word like 'reliability' or 'consistency'. After all, if a Bluetooth device can't be found or can’t connect, what good is it? Choetech's Bluetooth 4.1 drivers are solid. I've had no issues with connectivity.
Secondly, I don't respond well at all to choppy or finicky audio connections. As a wedding DJ, I can say there is simply no room for that type of trouble! I didn't expect anything less than perfect when it came to the build quality of this Bluetooth transmitter. After all, Choetech have always produced some of the best wires and connectors in the game when it comes to devices and accessories.
If they would add an optical in/out port to it, that would be incredible. Maybe on the next one?
Anyways, if this device looks like it'll do the trick, and suit your needs, I'm here to say this is the one. If you're torn between brands, I can tell you Choetech's the way to go! I hope this helps someone! Thanks!
Hi, I thought y'all might be interested; the product is a Bluetooth HIFI Headphone amplifier. I found this after searching for a pair of Bluetooth ear buds that could hopefully come close to my wired Sony MDR-XB90EX earbuds. I haven't found a pair yet after three pairs, but discovered this little device which allows me to plug my wired headphones into and connect w/ Bluetooth. This little device supports APTxHD and uses Bluetooth 5. It is pretty impressive and is definitely the best solution I found so far. Here is the link & a pic if anybody is interested.

Definitely interested and thanks for the post.
Did you try any of the less expensive units as found on Amazon (~$20 and up.) I'm not looking for audiophile quality but I'd like something to use with my Etymotics earphones.
Thanks!

are you sure its bluetooth 5.0 it doesnt say it anywhere on there website and the indigogo that launched it says bluetooth 4.2. maybe i just missed it but i would love it if they were 5.0
Fiio Btr1 is really good. I have one and recommend it. Great battery life and sound plus really small and light and only 55 euro.

Yes, thanks for asking, it is clearly labeled with the product I received, and by the way it's a pretty nice product, and exactly what I needed, although I haven't had the chance to try any other brands to be honest though.
Here's a link to their North American/International product page and you can find the spec under "wireless" if you'd like to check out.

You're welcome and thanks for asking, I haven't had the chance to try any of their competitors products, but I can still recommend this product based upon my experience.
