Hello Guys,
Last week I bought the 3in1 Adapter with the Brodit ProClip so I can use my VPA compact V (HTC Kaiser) as my new Navigator.
The installation was as simple as expected but if I connect my mobile with that car-kit there is no Sound on the speaker of my phone.
Is there any possibility to keep the phone speakers loud? Also the mic seems not to be activated. Could that be changed by some registry edits?
I've searched already for that Problem but there not seems to be an answer.
Greets and thanks in advance
Perhaps I'm the only one who got this problem (although I read sth. diffenrent) but I solved my problem via Phonealarm.

Hi,
I'm planning to make a car kit for my xda2 using a second-hand car kit from another phone, a spare cradle and some creative thinking.
My aim is to make an installed car kit with the following features:
1) Charge the phone from the car battery.
2) All phone and pda audio to come from the car speakers, not the pda speaker.
3) Easy to put in and take out of cradle.
4) Able to use voice activated software via installed car mic.
I will document what I do (with photo's) here and try to put together a step-by-step guide, but I could use some help.
Has anyone tried this with any amount of success? I have seen the connector pin diagrams etc on the wiki site. Can anyone add to these?
Just as imporantly, has anyone tried this and fried their xda2??? :?
Please post your advice here and I'll let you know how I go.
Cheers,
Hooligan
Have tried it with a nokia cark91 but with no succes because the nokia cark91 uses the FBUS to activate certain features.
Didn't have enough knowledge of both to write a program which could emulate the FBUS protocol.
Will be watching your progress. Very interesting!
Success.

T-mobile can't build one, O2 can't build one, Catcomm can't build one, even i can't build one :roll: :mrgreen:
Why do you think you would succeed ?
Serious : All the info needed is on this site, and/or in my head. Theoreticaly it should work, but it doesn't.... Biggest problem is that the XDA2/MDA2 ONLY gives audio trough the bottom connector if you're in Call, so forget voicedialing or TomTom over the carkitspeaker.
Easyest solution is to build a carkit with you can connect to the headset connection.
Connectors ?
Hello
I seek the diagram of the connector 22 pins for XDA II

Hi Alain,

Hi Jpiek,
thanks for the words of encouragement! :wink:
I'm studying the circuit diagrams for the nokia car kit I have obtained. I'll let you know how my experiments go...I have to agree, I think that the earphone jack may be the best way to go....

I spent many hours doing this with an XDA I, and got something sort of working but not what I really wanted. Here are some notes...
The XDA I has a horrible ground loop problem on both the input and output. I don't know if the II has the same problem, but I imagine so.
The output is very low, requiring a pre-amp. And because of the above, it had to be ground-isolated, which adds a lot of complexity (for someone like me who is MANY years past high school electronics class...).
Ericsson and Nokia car kits require some proprietary signalling in order to function, so they were useless as a starting base.
The built-in mic is actually quite usable in-car, producing a slightly hollow and distant sound but not horribly so. It has quite effective echo cancellation.
Thank you very for this address
who my permi to produce a connector for a SPV E200
but the stitching of the SPV M1000 does not correpond I
continue my research

OK, looks like zapro has beaten me to the punch.
He has updated the connectors page in the wiki with a car kit wiring diagram and has started a new post - "Finally !!! DIY car-handsfree for XDA"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11063
I'll keep experimenting as I don't think he has all of the audio output through the car stereo yet.
Well done Zapro!

Ofcourse not, his solution allready worked over here, but it wasn't good enough for me. For phone i use a BT headset. I want all audio !!
(Yes, i'm still trying..)
Yes it DOES work !!
Hehe, my homemade carkit DOES indeed work flawlessly !
I Have an extra box besides the electronics shown in the diagram, a box with a amplifier and some relays. when the phone rings, i press a button, that powers the amplifier and the relays, disconnecting the speakers from my car-radio and over to the little amplifier. i promised you some pictures here a day ago, but i don't think it's nice enough to show off yet. i need to make a new case for the amplifier and relays. the one i am using now is just a box from the junkcase.
I Will be back soon !
// Per
My XDA carkit was relativly easy ;
I opened the Tomtom cable on the XDA side and wired pin 2, 3 and 4 to a general Car-amplifier...
I used the internal mic, with a brodit holder: perfect!
Hi i was just wondering if anyone had a solution fo this, people that i talk to on my handsfree kit say that there is a real bad echo that makes it very hard for them to hear me while using bluetooth. is there a solution?? are other bluetooth stacks compatible with the mini? what's the best one to use??
Thankyou in advance
Got the same problem the CK-7W and Blue Angel. The Nokia unit just isn't compatible, I've got it working but only when you have the volume down low, then it gets hard to hear when your on the road. I'm using the latest blue toothstack and it hasn't solved the problem....
I'm considering changing to the Parrot range of Bluetooth kits, anyone using these? Results?
if you can't get them replaced i have found 2 ways to solve the problem, you know that the headset piece is made of 2 parts, a plastics graish part that sticks to ur ear & a rubber blackish part (the one that contains the button for getting a call or hanging it) gently pull the rubber part out completly during a conversation & the problem will be solved instantly :shock: since its not very practical way i tore (cut) the part of the button to make a small opening & that reduced the echo by 80% & still don't make me headset look stupid :lol:
Samething with the Parrot range of Bluetooth kits !!! i can't solve the problem at all
Strange.... others on different forums/posts seem to be praising the Parrot range. The Parrot equipment is flash upgradeable, they seem to provide the updates on their website have you tried that as well as upgrading your Phone ROM and Bluetooth stack?
hi
i have an xda2s an have relised that the original xda headphones dont work (only one side of the headphone works) with this phone neither does the c500 headphones or the e200 even though there all 2.5, i have many brand new 2.5 to 3.5 converters but now they dont work on the xda2s as well i presume its something to do with polarity, my question is does the xda2 headphone work with the the xda2s, the xda2 headphones are the ones with the answer andend call buttons plus the dial.
thanks alot.
btw ive lost my original headphones to soldering wouldnt help
Mine don't work. In fact they don't even fit because the XDA2 headphones have a wierd plastic bit on the jack which means they only fit the XDA2.
thats weird because my uncle has the xda 2i and that fits fine into my xda2s and that two has the answer and endcall buttons as does the one i want to buy,the htc people make it very dificult by making the 2.5 headphones not work with some modles. does the supplied xda headphone that you have also have the end and answer button. thanks
yeh, i know wat u mean...i have the same problem with the 2.5 to 3.5 conveter...with only one earphone working...if u fiddle with the postioning you will find that i works... so the theory that i have come up with is that i think the connections on the "jack" itself is different to standard, if you look on the "jack" there are 3 rings around it, which is left speaker, right speaker and micraphone...so i think that the rings are in a different order so when u plug anything else in it uses one side as a speaker and the other side as a micraphone...Well at least thats what i think but im sure its pretty accurate...but im open for correction...and if anyone has a solution to the problem then let us know... im using some earphones from motorola with a 2.5 jack and they are working perfectly, quality is a bit better than xda2s earphones, but thats about the best i could do...
hope there is a solution soon, i guess we just need the right 2.5 to 3.5 converter...if there is one...
I also had the same problem. When I bought mine new PDA2K device I tried to use my old XDAII headset and you're right -- it doesn't fit and it doesn't work. On www.expansys-usa.com I bought the PPC Techs 2.5mm/3.5mm converter for headset and for stereo headphone -- no luck doesn't work anymore with my new PDA2K.
I have noticed one thing though -- as standard 2.5 mm headset from RadioShack now works without any problems! I don't know why is it happening but they didn't work before with my previous XDA device... I also don't know if it is good or bad for PDA2K.
Does anyone know the internal wirings of new PDA2K and has it been declared that it will be officially compatible with the standard 2.5 mm headsets (which will been nice of course if it was).
Pretty good converters IMHO can be found at:
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/
thanks for all your imput.
my original questions was asked because ive lost my xda2s headset and was wondering if this headset from ebay would work with my phone. as i said before i have xda headphones that fit perfectly into the socket but yet only sound through one ear. im not intrested in a converter ive had enough of them. if i get a working headset then i may try the soldering later on.
could anyone just check if this headset may be compatible with the xda2s
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6411586495&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
i know for sure the xda2i headphones work fine in my phone.
thanks for your help
No they won't. There's already a thread about this somewhere. I can't remember who said it but someone mentioned that HTC must have shares in the Jack company as they seem to change the adapter for EVERY handset. It's so annoying that the 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter doesn't work as I can no longer use my XDA with a cheapy iTrip in the car.
Just want to ask a simple question. What is that port/hole next to the USB port? I'm considering the Excalibur/T-Mobile Dash and learning about it before buying.
Thanks,
lie_ui
It is the port for the Headset
The port is for Headset with Mic.
Thanks. I thought the Excalibur uses the same USB-port for the headset as well (just like the TyTn). Or it can use both type of headset then as i noticed the USB port is the HTC custom one just like one in the TyTn?
I think they both are for headsets -- in a perfect world there'd be a standard headphone jack on the dash somewhere...

From the internal photos on the FCC OET web site, it doesn't look like the second hole is electrically connected. I think it may just be for connecting a lanyard or charm.
by my device(dopod c720w asia model) it is nothing ,just a hole.
joychui, did you get the game Another World of your dopod c720w ?? I saw that it comes on the phone from asian reviews. I tried getting it but wont run correctly on the usa Dash?
thank you
Hello,
I’m new to this phone and forum, just getting my head round it. First problem I’m trying to tackle is the frankly awful headphones that come with the device.
Trying to find decent 2.5 mm headphones is not easy, I bought a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter but it’s a bit rubbish and loose and I’m sure it is changing it from stereo to mono. So after hours of research I’ve found some Sennheiser MM50’s. These have an integrated mic and also a 2.5mm 4 pole jack.
Now are these likely to work on my phone as I understand there are different ways that 2.5mm jacks can be wired up?
Thanks in advance.
I guess you will have to try it.
I use some Siedo headphones I got off eBay. They are not brilliant but are better than the supplied ones.
I can't find it right now but I came across this: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=127646
It's an adpator - that is wired correctly for a HTC 2.5mm sockect and it has a built-in mic. You can plug any 3.5mm headphone jack into it. - Heck - I might get one myself!
Cheers, that doesnt look to bad. I notice that was compatible with the P900 which I think is compatible the Sennheiser MM50’s. So maybe they will be ok.
Do you know if the prophet has a standard 2.5mm 4 pole connector?
Yes, it's the usual 2.5mm 4 pole connector. There doesn't seem to be a "standard" way of wiring them though but the link I gave you should be fine.
It is NOT recommendable, for the Sennheiser MM50 headphones are made for Motorola devices/phones. HTC Prophet appears to have different wiring schema compared to Motorola and the headphones will play only from one channel - unfortunately.
I bought them recently (in spite of warnings on this forum) and was very disappointed to experience this effect. Fortunately however, I was able to give them back to the shop.
I use my old Sony Ericsson P800's headphones and the quality is waaay better. In fact the best non-professional headphones I've had till now were all Sonys.
It has to be Sony.
Have a look at Ebay. Search for SPV M600 and you may find a whole host of accessories. Or search specifically for:
Handsfree Remote/Adaptor for Orange SPV M600/M3000 PDA or
Oasis music adapter for qtek S200, SPV M600, Dopod 830
I have a similar item and it allows me to use any headphones or even connect it to my HiFi. It even has a PTT button and microphone to answer calls - imagine having a phone call routed through your home HiFi!
Hi!!!
Do you know if this one can work with prophet?
http://shop.brando.com.hk/htcstereoconverterwithmicrophone.php
I'm not sure...
i just soldered sony-Groove earpices to it, sounds way better!, modification was pretty easy
Can you post some pics of it?

This one is not compatible with the Prophet. Prophet uses a 2.5mm jack while the newer HTC devices use the mini-USB connection for the headphones. The product in the link that you provided is meant for these newer devices. What you want is a 2.5mm (male) to 3.5mm (female) converter. You can find them at www.expansys.com.
