t'ello all....
I have just bought an arkon CM532 with xda2 adaptor. This seems to do the job as a hands free kit, with the usual bugs of noisy GPRS feedback etc, but I can live with that....BUT - I need a GPS ariel that will plug into the cradle and thus the xda2.....I have tomtom software ready to go, but I dont really want a bluetooth GPS, as we all know, bluetooth and xda = hell.
Any ideas?????
Would this work from ebay?

No idea where you got the idea that BlueTooth GPS and the XDA2 are incompatible - mine worked fine after the first O2 update was applied...
As long as you get the right cable it should be fine.
Bluetooth is more convenient, as you only need the adaptor for charging, and most journeys take less than the GPS battery life.
I use a Pretec Bluetooth GPS I bought from eBay,
works fine.
its not so much the bluetooth that puts me off, more the fact that the arkon has the ability to charge a gps receiver that is connected to it via the RJ11 socket, and I want to know which gps reciever has this RJ11 connector. Otherwise, if I go the bluetooth route, I will have 2 cigarette adapators, and only 1 cigrette lighter socket! Plus, ill forget to charge the receiver too.....
Are you sure you have a Arkon CM532 - mine has no RJ11 sockets anywhere!
What it does have are two power-only USB ports on the base - either side of the regular 5v input socket - and a 5v output on the side which feeds my Socket GPS.
I can also recommend sticky-backed velcro as a fastening medium for attaching the GPS to the side-arm of the Akron.
That said, I really dislike the Arkon - I'd much rather a dedicated until like the one made by CarComm. However, the only UK distributor are idiots.

i have this and its crap you cant hear on the speaker because of the interference from the phone i use it without the electrics.
regards kevin :evil:

its works fine tomtom bluetooth gps sony ericsson headset
thanks all....ive gone for the tomtom 3 gps receiver.im assured that it has the relevant RJ11 connector...Ill let you all know how it goes!
On the side issue of the car kit thing, this arkon kit is pretty good I have to say, but I was always aware that it was not really a hands free car phone like those by nokia etc, and will probably jump the bluetooth headset way soon....any ideas which?
Anyone know of a gamepad or joystick for the pda2k? This Benq one for the ipaq looks pretty great.

Anyone used this device on an ipaq?
Hi,
Does anyone knows is it possible to connect external LCD touch screen display with VGA input to MDA III?
My idea is to use MDA III as car PC connected to bigger 7" LCD touch screen display such as XENARC 700IDT or XENARC 700TSV.

All ides and help in that direction would be gratefully appreciated! If any additional hardware and software necessary for such modification I'm willing to buy it at reasonable price!
Thank you
Best regards,
Darko
it's a question whether the xenarc supports wm5 or not...and...it says, that the touchscreen communicates with a cable...so it might not be easy to make them work together...
Hi nyuszi,
Thanks for replay.
I decide to go simpler way in resolving my idea but not cheaper unfortunately for car navigation & entertainment system so I buy Pyle 6.5'' Motorized In-Dash Double DIN AM/FM-MPX/TV Monitor DVD Player w/Touch Screen Control.

I saw a while ago someone had utilised a hack that fitted a IR port to a 3.5 stereo plug and then drove it using a application.
It was basically learning and replaying sound files through the IR adapter.
Basically a remote. This would be great on the HD. Can anyone remember where the hack was from?
few years ago Griffin had a product..that was not working well on my IPAQ

Best solution is using external IR sender like IRtrans

I have the Irtrans that works great from any browser

Are there any decent projectors for smartphones?
Sidenote: I just saw Samsung coming out with the Galaxy Beam which was designed for travelers and business professionals where the projector was built into the smartphone.
Never seen a mini projector with HDMI input so you a bit stuffed without that, unless someone can confirm the VGA MHL cables work on S3.
