Hi, can you help - 02 can't! I want to connect to the black plug, labled as number 13 - in the car kit user manual. its a short lead from the main thicker wire from the "box" to the xda holder.
What type of plug is it? anybody know where i can get the other side to connect to my other bits of kit.
thanks in anticipation. Simon :shock:
I dont know exactly the connecter but if you have a Maplin store local to you, it might be worth a visit, they have an incredible array of connecters, converters, adaptors etc.
Hello !
I assume that you are talking about the flat connector, if this is the case it's mensioned for data in/out like GPS etc,
For what purpose do you need this connector ?
The connector i am looking at it a flying lead off the main loom from the car kit electronic box to the xda holder. i am looking at using it for gps. i know which wires to use and have the system working fine. its just not a very elegant solution. i would like to make up a short lead using this connector and my gps to offer the system to my parants cars and my sister. the way i have done it would invalidate the warrenty on the car kit.
thanks. simon.
Hello Again !
smart (car manufacture) have a GPS which fits directly to the connector of the harness.
Part nr. is 0015829V001000000 and can be delivered by any smart-Center in Europe. :lol:
It seems the obvious answer is no, but, is there a case that does not need to be removed, or works well with the USB dock? I know I can just get a cable, but I like the "drop-in" ability.
YES...........!!
Followed a link from this site.... somewhere... can't find it now..........
Was a replacement leather case for XDA 2
Found It..!!!
Read Review...!!!!! :wink:

I came accross this for my Advantage on ebay and wanted to know if anyone has tried it. One of my main concern about the cradle is it's weight when the Advantage is in it, will it be a bit too heavy? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. The link is below.

I recommend the Brodit stuff from www.proclipusa.com. I have the passive holder and it works great. I'll add a link to the thread where car holders were discussed at length.
EDIT: Here's the link. My solution is in post #50.

Due to the fact that I will not be using the keyboard with this unit I will go with the Herbert model instead, with the telescopic vibration free arm. Thanks for the help though.
I saw someone post a Herbert Richter Vent holder in a thread about car kits (I tried to post a picture, but I'm not allowed to) and I see you can buy it on ebay, but how does the HD2 attach on to it? I assume you need a holder for the HD2 to clip into it, but I can't find one? Are there any?
I suggest you post in this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598418
Was probably the one you were looking for but could not find.
Also to help in future google search on XDA...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all works a little better than the forum search tool.
Good luck.

I have been tinkering with the Slacker G2 dock and have modified it to output audio through one of the ports. This involves soldering on very small traces and is not something that is easy to do.
Just as a general warning, I am not responsible for any damage that could result from this guide.
On the bottom of the circuit board solder a jumper wire between the +5v pin on the USB connector and the point shown in my picture.
On the top remove the components from the board, i removed them all, this is to keep the new audio connection from feeding back into the dock port on the streak.
On the top run a jumper from pin 10 to any Ground point on the board, i picked one a that was easy to get to.
Then run a jumper from pin 8 to the now empty solder point next to the connector marked C4
Then run a jumper from the solder point just under the R1 label to the point next to the connector marked C5
Congratulations your G2 Dock now has audio out, and as an added bonus it will charge your Streak twice as fast. Also make sure that your power source is able to supply a minimum of 1A or 1000mA of power.
I think this mod needed it's own thread, well done m8.
Question, is the 5v jumper cable underneath all you need to fit to increase charging capacity? I'm not too bothered about audio.
/edit my spelling...

Cheers, thanks
Did the +5v pin on the USB connector to get dock mode but now no audio from phone even if I disable speaker out in dock settings. Alarm is useless now, is that expected?
Choose the option to enable speaker output, because its the phone speaker not the dock speaker.

Thanks for the hint. I enabled speaker output and it works but I had to undock and redock for the new setting to kick-in.
I got two of these docks as they are the only thing I could find (because dell don't want to sell accessories in Australia) so I'll give your mod a go to get the audio working.
Thanks heaps

Awesome thanks for this!
Now i can buy this dock and do this mod and make a proper car mount with audio out!

Try here - I have bought from this seller and would recommend her.
Agreed, I bought 2 (in case I messed one up) and it works great.
Further modification
After applying the 5v USB modification my Streak charges at twice the speed. The only problem was that it would not switch to dock mode without pressing down firmly.
Corrected the issue by removing more plastic around the PDMI connector and re-adjusted the angle so more is exposed. Now the Dell Streak docks without much effort.
Hey guys is it possible to dock the dell streak when its in a TPU style case? If not, does it look easy to mod to accept a dell streak + case? Also, does the audio out provide stereo sound? Thanks

The G2 dock can be modified by removing the plastic arround the port to accept most cases, in order to get any audio out of the dock you must do the mod to the pinouts to get stereo out.

I'm confused. The add for the dock claims its got audio-out and it comes with 2 different audio cables. Why does it need a modification for audio out?

The G2 uses different pins to control this output than the standard. This modification bypasses all that and makes it correct for the streak.
HDMI
Hey guys does this Slacker Dock also give us the ability to use HDMI from the Streak to say a Plasma TV...
I can see on the pick that it has an output but there is no mention of it by any if you in thread.
pls let me know.. cheers

Nope, to get HDMI out you need to get the $69.99 dock from Dell.
Thanks for that.
Were is the best place to buy that that will deliver to Asia.
Any Suggestions.....
