RE: XDA Car kit supplied by O2 in the UK.
This is a long shot.
My company has supplied O2 XDA(1) and O2 Car kit. I would like to add SAT NAV. Problem is I cannot find out what the RS232 pinouts are on the car kit wiring loom. Apparently the people who manafactured the car kit did/would not make an RS232 cable???? I am reliably informed that "a cable" might be produced next year! The car kit wiring loom has a spare, flat 8 pin connector which I am assured carries the RS232 signals however this source of info would/could not give me the pinouts. Buzzing this connector out with the XDA socket on the cradle, due to the close proximity of pins, is not an easy task for someone as optically challenged as myself plus I've got hands like meat hooks. This 8 pin connector is not one that I would expect to see for this type of job. It is similar to the type of connector found in PC's for connecting serial "D types" to the motherboard although is only one row of pins/sockets.
I know all this is pretty vague but I am an optimist.

Hi all,
Wondered if anyone can help me? I have an XDA1 and have just bought a car kit which looks great. However I need to connect my haicom 203e gps receiver with PS2 plug. The box says GPS navigation is optional but the instructions give no info as to how to connect it.
I have a funny looking plug coming off the main cable where the antenna connects and figured that may be something to do with it.
Has anyone got any info how to connect GPS to the kit itself
Thanks
I have had exactly the same combination.....
Have to take a look this afternoon, to my links. There was a great review of the car kit, where all the schematas were drawn....
I cut of the original GPS-Connector of the car kt and used a PS/connector to vonnect my Haicom gps.....

By the way: My complete set will be at Ebay in a few days..... ;-)
Thanks Stefan that would be great - I take it you had a plug with 8 wires If I knew what the 8 wires did I could wire up the Haicom via a ps2 connector. Its the function of each of the wires that causes me the problem.

Hi all,
anyone know if it's possible to buy/make a cable to convert the socket on the bottom of the XDA 2i to the mini-USB of the XDA Exec? got the option of a free upgrade to the Exec but I have a Holux CR-100 cradle and don't particularlly want to buy a new GPS unless I have to.
Thanks!!!

whether exists a cradle or some kind of support 4 Gene? can i use a cradle for Qtek S110/S200 maybe?
Hi guys,
Newbie here.. did do a search but struggling to find info I'm after.
What I'm looking for is a pin diagram for the charger/headphones port on the diamond. Well specifically its the O2 XDA Ignito branded one I have.
Looking for it to try make a custom connection that will enable me to both charge the phone and listen to music on at the same time in the car if at all possible. So essentially I'd wire a car charger permanantly in and have an aux connection into the headunit and try figure out some way of connecting both these to the custom connection.
Any help greatly appreciated!

You can buy that adapter on ebay...
Like this one : http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-3-5mm-2-5mm...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Here's the information on the HTC ExtUSB pin:
