How strong is your Google-fu? O2 Car kit pinout needed..

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!

Backpack connector pinout

I have bought a pair of faulty backpacks on ebay for my XDA IIi.
One of them is totally shot, the other kind of works but there is a bad connection on the connector that attaches to the XDA.
Does anyone have info on the pinout of this connector please?
I checked the XDA II service manual to no avail.

Hi Mr Fusion
I'm afraid not an answer but a sharing of problems - I have lost my backpack lead and can't get another. Did you find the pinout? Any ideas where I might get the connector?
Cheers
Jon

I was just looking for the pinout when I saw this post! amazing coincidence.
Anyway, I was wondering about making my own Wifi backpack, or possibly squeezing an sdio wifi card inside the case on this connector.
But, I need the pinout before I can even hope to try.
To the guy with the dead backpack, how much did you pay? want to sell it cheap to me to experiment with?

Any of you who wants the complete kit plus 1Gb compact flash pm me.

External aerial for O2 Orbit

Hi, had a look in the manual and a quick search here but I can't find out what kind of adaptor I need to connect a FME terminated external aerial to my Orbit. TIA.
Great forum, very helpful BTW (just found out about dual sim holders... )

Aerial
Hi The specification for an external aerial seems to be confusing - it took me a long time to actually get something that fits. John, at 'GPS Antenna only' in Ebay, has got GPS aerials that do, and may be able to help you further

Thanks but I couldn't find anything on Ebay -- do you have a link?

Aerials
Hi. Sorry about that. That was the name of his shop. Try this.. http://search.ebay.co.uk/ws/search/MemberSearchResult?userid=londoncolour
This should take you to his shop. He really was very good when he was trying to get me a GPS aerial - we must have tried 4 or 5 different ones that according to the specifications, were 'supposed' to be correct. I know that he also contacted HTC, and what they told him was wrong as well, but John bought an Orbit himself, and eventually found the correct one. He really couldn't have done more - excellent supplier, highly recommended, and great value.

Thanks, but he just directed me to the GPS aerial he had for sale. Have contacted HTC Europe, see what they come up with.

It's only in German language, but I hope it helps anyway.
As far as I know, the connector should be an MS-147-C(LP)-2

Thanks for that -- I've dropped him an email. That part number for the aerial doesn't come up much on Google...
I should qualify that: the MS-147-C(LP)-1 type does the 2 doesn't seem to exist...

Sorry, that seems to be right. I've got that information from expansys webpage.
Have a look at the data sheet

Hi Peter, so you think it is the 1 I'm looking for?

I've asked Hirose for a free sample of
MS-147-C(LP)-1 and MS-147-HRMJ-1 for validation.

GPS Antenna Adaptor
I was in Radiop Shack and found adaptor # 17-349 connects to the P3300 (aka Artemis) on one end and has a standard Antenna cable connector on the opposite end.

Not sure if it works as I have not connected it to a GPS antenna itself but it' gets you past the hard part (connecting to the phone)

It was an external aerial for the phone socket I was after, but thanks anyway.

HELP! PDA2 alternative connector

Hi
I was wondering if the connector located under (not behind) the battery works for upgrading Pocket pc (PDA2) like the usual one, because it has broken tracks.
Also if anyone knows where to get that alternative connector, or at least what's the known name of it.

cant renember what htc model pda2 is
but if it's himalaya it's the backpack connector and i doubt it can be used to sync
also it could be an external antenna connector in which case it also cant be used to sync with
clikc XDA-wiki and find your device it could be that it have a hardware description where you can find info about the connector

I've googled for the Himalaya CF backpack, but drawn a blank... Are there any peripherals actually available that use it?
...or any more tech info on its pins so that we could develop our own?

damaged connector on motherboard!

Hello to everyone!
I have problem about my Tytn (Hermes 200) that a connector (for a screen flex cable) on my motherboard is damaged. Is it possible to fix it -for example to change that connector with a new one (because I have another Tytn with usb port broken but that connector is ok)? Does anyone know how to do so? I really need help...
thanks in advance
or if someone know where I can find a new motherboard cheap?

I can't really help you with your problem but I wanted to notify you that you're posting this in the wrong section. The proper place to post such threads is the General section. You'll have better chances of finding someone who can help you there.
Plus, I've seen some pictures of the mobo there so it might be worth searching that section for something similar before posting.
