I ordered connectors from gomadic corp for xda but they don't fit perfectly to Qtek 1010. The latch does not work and the arrow markings on the connector need to be facing down instead of up.
Anyone here knows of any source for Qtek connectors?

That's because the iPaq uses the same connector, except facing the other way. There is no specific Qtek connector. Qtek 1010, XDA, MDA, SX-56, they're all the same device: the HTC PW10.

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:
Hi,
This is by far the most hi-tech question on the board... ;-)
I've lost the stupid little rubber cap that used to cover the antenna port. Cingular and Siemens are unable/unwilling to assist. Has anybody found an alternate source for replacements?
Thanks in advance!
Annoying little rubber piece
You the same exact thing happen to me. I ended up taking it from the non working display model at the sprint store. But then I lost it again. So if anybody knows, please let me know
Hum... I tried that with the styalist only to find that it was glued! Oh no let me correct that a friend of mine told me that he...
Try using the plastic bit on the non-writing end of a Bic stick ballpoint pen; it's about the right size & shape.
i-mate said they'd replace mine. Maybe I can get a few extras, too.

You must be on great drugs! were do you get them from? LOL
I have a 22 pin Connector from an IPAQ 2215, does anyone know if they are compatible. I found the connector page but this isn't covered (at least not that I could find).
I plan on using it as a connector for a new docking/charging base for my SX66 in its Aluminum case.
Found my own answer
Most IPAQ's connectors are the same, 3800 and 2200 series use same connector and it is NOT compatible with the BA. Found the pin out for the IPAQ connector and compared it to the one on wiki and nope don't even come close to matching.
I think I'm going to upgrade to the Kaiser, Does anynone know if the car mount for my hermes will work with the Kaiser? Also has anyone that upgraded regret it??
I really just want the GPS so I dont have to carry around my BT GPS reciever. Oh how long does it take to acquire a signal? And how many sats can it track? I will dig into the threads for this but if someone can tell me that would be nice too
Thank you in advance !
How does the car mount for the hermes mounted?
just fyi..
my tilt/kaiser fits into my tytn/8525 metal case with no problems so it would only be logical the car mount wouldn't have any problems. GPS acquisition is about 5 give or take 1 or 2secs(depend on your locaiton(in building/outside). i get about 5 in my room and 8-10 when i'm outside.
apparently from what Ive heard in the accessories forum about this question (which is where you might want to direct this next time) is that the Tilt will fit with the Hermes car mounts, but not perfectly, meaning it might fall out.

I will use the other forum next time, Thank you for your reply thuogh, guess I will need to buy a new car mount
5 seconds silly..
The Kaiser/Tilt fits in the Hermes car mount... but not snugly. If your, a little duct tape in the car mount should fix the problem.
Kaiser seems to need a better view of the sky to lock into satellites... than say a Garmin nuvi.
I've now a kaiser with a hermes car holder. It fits but not perfectly because I think the thickness of kaiser is little less then hermes, so my kaiser is not perfectly hold. It's not a problem for me. The only problem is that the camera button is half pressed when kaiser is on the holder. I don't know if this could be a problem, but I've tested tomtom and bluetooth car kit and I haven't found any problem.
Thank you all!
Thanks for all your input! It has been really helpful I have been decieding to sell the car mount and my BT GPS recv. in one big lot.. I think I will..
For your information:
The USB jack from Kaiser is slightly repositioned (2mm in heights, 3mm in width) compared to the one on Hermes.
The passive Holders without USB Jack should work all fine because outer dimensions fit perfektly.
When using an active Brodit Car Mount like me then u will get into slight problems because the jack doesnt fit anymore. But no reason to panic: Its not a big deal to modify the Holder.
Simply use a sharp knife and seperate the usb-block (where the usb jack and its cable are connected) from the holder... next u need to clean the position of the usb-block on the holder from possible glue-artefacts. Additionally, flatten the holder for about 2mm. Next, put your Hermes into the holder, plug in the usb-block and put some glue (i used 2 component epoxy) between the holder and the usb-block. Let the glue beome hard and voila: a perfectly fitting, individual Carmount for your Kaiser!
Sounds more complicated as it is... this holder fits now better than the original with the Hermes - and honestly: 120 Euro for just the new Kaiser carmount from brodit? No Thanks
Ok this may sound silly and i am new but can someone shed some light as to why there are two external antenna connectors on the Tytn 2. Theres the plastic flap on the back cover for the GPS antenna but if you take off the battery cover you can see that there are two ports next to each other. Are they both for GPS (two different types of connectors since they are different sizes) or is one for gps(hence the plastic flap revealing only one port) and the other for phone signal???
I've had a quick look around for an answer but haven't found much.....
Any help would be appreciated!!

According to page 92 of the service manual (available through links on the Kaiser wiki page) the other connector (WCON1) is a RF port and since it's not covered in the user manual and isn't accessible unless the battery cover is removed, it'll be for factory testing purposes only - ie don't mess with it! The other one is covered in both manuals and is, as you note, for a specific compatible HTC external GPS antenna.
