Hi everybody,
I've got problems with connecting my Rikaline 6010 to the Car Kit. With the help of the forum I know now, wich pins I have to connect together. But I'm not be able to bring power to the Mouse. I have the +5V and GND connected but the LED on the mouse won't turn on. With a simple car adapter for the mouse and the xda it works perfect. I try to look inside the cable of the car adapter and it looks lite the cable, I build myself.
Maybe I have to short some pins inside the connector ??
Does anybody have a Rikaline 6010 successful connected to the xda car kit ?
thanks a lot
rob.
Make sure the switched power supply is connected.
I assume you are using the official XDA carkit.
I did some reverse engineering on this carkit and found that the GPS powerline is only working if the switched power line for the carkit is connected.
After disconnecting this line the GPS power will stay on for 1 hour and then automatically switch of.
Have you checked if there is power on the GPS connector of the carkit when nothing is connected? Maybe the current demand is to high? For pinlayout check www.vanhemert.biz

Hi Francois,
I think my problem is not the car kit. After it doesn't work with the carkit, I tried to connect my car-adapter-cable with the cable, I made myself to the gps-mouse. And also there, the mouse doesn't get power. So I simply put +5V and GND to the pins of the mouse-connection and it doesn't work.
Maybe GND must be connected to two pins or to the GND-pin AND the PS2-connector's metall ?
I think, I have to buy a H203e to make it work....

Pinlayout
I have looked at the data sheet (http://www.rikaline.com/pdf/gps-6010-manual-e.pdf) and it looks straightforward. Pin 2 and 4 should do the job but I can imagine that you need a correct RS232 signal to get the thing up and running. Are you sure that the LED is just an indication of power or does it only light if power and RS-232 is correct?
As you can see in the schematics on my website I had trouble opening the COM port on my XDA, Communication just did not start unless I pulled the DCD line (pin 6) to Vcc. This will activate Active sync in the same way as the original cable set I used to have.
Good luck,
Francois
Hi,
thanks for your reply. The LED on the GPS-Mouse have to turn on simply by bringing power to it. I've tried that by using my car adapter cable and simply connect the mouse to the cable and not connect the xda...and the LED turns on.
I've ordered today a Hi203E and I will try to conncet it as you described on your homepage....hope it will work (if not, I'll be back ;-))
thanks a lot
rob.
Hi Francois,
today I received my Hi203e and I will try to connect it to the carkit.
One Question:
Is the connector, which is shown on your homepage and labeled with "to gps" the female connector, which is wired to the gps-mouse or the male connector, which is wired on the selfmade cable between carkit and PS2-connector of the mouse ??
thanks
rob.
hi,
ok, my previous question is now obsolet. The connector, which is wired to the Hi203e, is male (at my Rikaline6010 it is female). So I have to buy a female connector and build new cable. I made a first test by bringing the +5V and GND of the carkit over an adaptercable to the gps-mouse and (yippie) it worked. The LED on the mouse turns on !! Looks pretty good.
...to be continued (if I have the new connector...)
rob.
Hi Francois,
I've got it now and it works perfect. Thanks again for the Info's on your webpage.
2 points:
I've got a low noise (frequently repeated) in the speaker, when the gps is active. Is there something to do against that ?
And how can I stop the activation of active-sync, when i put the xda into the carkit ?
Do you know that ?
thanks
rob
noise...

I would guess this is the speaker wire picking up the GSM signal, nothing to do with the GPS. Try re-aligning so that the wires relative to the antenna of the XDA. If that doesn't work, you could experiment with ferrite beads (these ugly black blocks on all modern cables) on the wires.
Same problem here, but...
I found that if I start serial communication with the GPS unit, i will hear some interferance via the speaker. It looks like the auto mute functions does not work immediatlly after inserting the XDA and "the connection is left open".
Workaround:
Pressing the red phone button to generate a tone (keypress) activates the automute and the interferance will disappear. (at least is does in my case)
Auto start of the active sync process:
This is caused by the DCD line pulled to Vcc. I first owned a standard GPS Y-cable (XDA/GPS/Lighter) and it showed the same behaviour. My first experiment was to not use the DCD line (just gnd, tx and rx)but at that time TomTom could not open the COM port. I did no further investigation but one of the forum members suggested to disable the IR connection and auto sync, this should free the com port to TomTom and not start active sync automatically. Again I have not tested it but if you will, i am interested.
Good luck,
francois
hi,
Been reading this thread with alot of interest...
can someone help me with a problem, I have the O2 carkit installed in my car, and i also have a rikaline 6010 that i would like to attach it.
I have found the GPS connector that i need to attach the GPS reciever to but when i check the connector for +5v its not there...
Does anyone know where i can connect it to... looks like the person who connect my carkit could'nt be bothered about connecting up the GPS connector properly...
and also the colour of wires that everyone mentions, mine are a different colour...
i have the following from my rikaline reciever, 4 in total...
red
black
green
white
does anyone know what connects to what????
Many Thanks

Rikalinegps 6010 with cables - from eBay
This receiver is available with cable for XDA via eBay (see link below), but you guys have got me worried. I'm thinking of buying the Rikaline 6010 but am I going to have to do all this business of rewiring etc? What's the economical way of buying all the other bits that I need (Software, Car Kit etc)?
I'm looking for some easy to follow advice. Keep it simple please.

Hi,
I'm confusin about the idea that an option keyboard or mouse should be works on the ameo, i have read serveral post that the 4 and 1 cable should work fine to connect these options, even a usb memory key should work,
i have now a cable mini usb to female usb it means i can use the (charge/sync) connection for usb, but i have tried many thinks, like reset device connect keyboard e.t. none of this will work .
Does it means that only the 4 and 1 cable (from expansys) will work
USB is usb i supose.
cheers
Hi there
the reason is that you try to connect to the mini USB port and this is not supporting host functions... the 4in1 cable connects to the other connector, the one that share the USB host and Video out and there you'll have the expected USB foncionality...

download this CAB file and put to ameo and then install it and RESTART your ameo your mouse will now work and you will now see a mouse movine around for keyboard i have bought one yesterday and will use today so i hoop that it works !!
Damnit! I installed this hoping it would make Bluetooth mice work. It didn't.
WM5 really is badly implemented. I have a bluetooth mouse on my devices. It has a picture of a mouse. It clearly responds a little. WHY IS THERE NO POINTER.
ThinkOutside's driver wanted to disable built-in HID drivers. I didn't trust it. BlueMouse doesn't work and is overpriced.

Bluemouse really works!
I bought 3 BT mice before I found out the one that works, which is actually cheaper than the high end ones I bought initially Just go for the Targus AMB02 Rechargeable bluetooth notebook mouse. Those in the Nederlands can find some at the Correct Business Centre department.
thanks all, i have ordered the mouse (kijkshop) let's see what happens.
cheers

Hi everyone,
I am having a strange problem. I am trying to use the headset and stereo adapter I got for use with my TyTn (8525). These do not work on my Kaiser/Tilt. I looked at the plug, and it doesn't appear to be double sided. The Kaiser wiki says that there is an enhanced usb plug on the Kaiser, one side for usb and another for audio. Could it be that the TyTn output the audio over usb and the Kaiser doesn't? I am having trouble getting these accessories to work. I am hoping there is a registry setting I can change to allow for this, so I do not have to buy new accessories.
I appreciate any help that anyone can offer on this matter.

Not at all. the wired headsets used on the TyTN and TyTN II do not incorporate any sort of decoding hardware that would be required in a standard USB headphone arrangement. HTC's extUSB socket certainly shares USB functionality and audio but audio doesn't go through the USB bus, there are seperate pins for that. I have a 3 in one USB adapter sold for use with the original TyTN but it works fine in between my TyTN II and its supplied wired headphones.
That's very strange then. None of my accessories seem to work. Any idea why this might be?
has anybody thought about it ?
htc sells them (http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/it/p_htc_item.aspx?i=187495) while mini-usb headphones i have (i found them on an alcatel phone) do not work
I just bought a little adapter off eBay which plugs into HTC MiniUSB and has a 3.5mm jack on it. It lets me use my own normal headphones.
why didn't you just use the 3.5 built in jack of tattoo ???
g1 dont
hi.
my G1 headphones have the htc mini usb ( the one thats a bit odd and has extra wires for audio and tv out ) but the headphones dont work on the tattoo.
so why has the tattoo got this type of jack for its usb ?? it certainly has the extra contacts on it, you can see them !
may be we will someday have an app that enabled you to select the usb output as the default audio out.. may be not.. lol..
.
So, the phone is faster than towers have had in the past. I know that with the right cable I can get HDMI out to a monitor, but I also want to use a USB card reader and speakers at the some time. Has anyone made a dock that would work for this or have an idea about how to hack one together. I want to make sure the adaptors will pass the signal. Micro USB port replicators? Searching google didn't give me any results.
Also, can you use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the HTC one?
Anyone's 2 cents on this project?
If no one knows I'll start trying to figure it out and update the thread with what works and what doesn't
