XDA1 Car Kit

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.

Hope it helps you...

Common charging port and headset port in diamond!!!

Guys
Are you all OK with the common port for BOTH
Charging & Headset
Dont you think this is a weak aspect of HTC as Diamond battery is so weak which necessitate charging it while using ur headset???!!!

Meh. After a while you'll get used to it - HTC like their silly ExtUSB port. Use a bluetooth headset or carry a spare battery.

Is there a way to use your own headphones with this kind of port? And: is there an antenna/headphone cable available in order to listen to the radio with your own headphones?

Of course there is..
Besides, if you look online, you'll see splitters for the ExtUSB, when you can both charge and listen to music at the same time..
As I understood, ExtUSB has 11 pins.. the splitters make it into 2 ports - 5 pins and 6 pins..
It may not look... "perfect" but you'll only use it inside anyway, on a desk (or chair XD )

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you recommend a place to shop for accessories like these?

Frankly speaking.. no idea..
I usually check several places to find a model that doesn't look to cheap, so it'll fall apart in a week, but also not too expensive..
You'll have to google, I guess )

There's a thing that would interest you...

Thank you!

Mini to micro usb

Hi, I know this is an old discussion, but I haven't found the answer I'm looking for.
I need a good mini-micro usb connector to use in my car. I have an inverter and HTC mini usb charger concealed in my dashboard from when I had my previous HTC devices, and just need to be able to connect it to my HD2.
I have one already, but if there isn't any pressure pulling the cable towards the rear of the device, it stops charging.
Has anyone found an adaptor that will work without this issue?
Thanks.
Steve.

does this help? Bought this on ebay UK a few days ago. Item no is 230429980562

Does it stop charging if you apply any forward pressure to the plug?
The ones I have at the moment are HORRIBLE!

Why can't you buy a usb cable

Does anyone know if you can get a seperate usb cable for the streak yet?
I want a spare one so i can keep it in the car, or a longer one because i find the one that comes with the streak to be too short.
Anyway if anyone knows where to get one then could they let me know
Just had a thought while typing.. just buy a usb extension lead...off to buy one to see if it works.

yes Dell sell them on their website mate

Another option is a USB extention cable. I got a 6FT for like $10 at RadioShack. Works great for me, you can also buy the Dell car kit that will work as a backup USB cable.

Is there a way to buy a compatible one?
I live in italy and we can order only from dell.it that obviusly hasn't streak and accessories in their site....

It'd have to be blooming long to use in the car, depending on the car journey
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Well it has recently been confirmed that the streaks connection port is a PDMI connection. The Slacker G2 radio also uses a PDMI but no one has tried its cable yet. Specs are one thing but fitting is another. (Think of it how the first iPhone had a 3.5mm headset jack but you had to buy the apple headphones that didn't an elbow and were narrow enough to fit in there.)
So if anybody has, or knows someone that has a Slacker G2, feel free to try the cable out and tell us all

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/08/dell-streaks-proprietary-connector-is-actually-pdmi.html

Images that I can find for the slacker 2 radio charging lead seem to show a standard mini usb connector. Maybe the pdmi connector is data only?

can u use the ones on ebay?

Now i ordered another one from Dell site....
With only one cable, I finally ran out of patience and also constant carrying existing cable from place to place everytime I moved around.....
I have to have one near my bed for reading/charging thru the night....one in the car - which I will carry around to office as well...in the coming months hopefully the price will drop or there will be another source - till then this will do.

I guess it has both. check out this dock for the slacker g2... looks the same.. also looks like the ipod connector so don't know for sure till someone actually tests it out.
oh and here's one on amazon for 27.99

I'm wondering where i can buy these jack adapters for my device. I also wonder why only USA users get one for free and the rest of us dont.

I recently bought an adapter from ebay named "ADAPTATEUR USB Type-C vers Jack Audio 3.5mm Blanc pour HTC Bolt". When i plug it in the device shows and error code saying something like "This is not compatible with your device" Can anyone confirm that the adapter for Moto Z also works on HTC 10 Evo?
Thanks.

I ordered this one today (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-Type-C-to-3-5mm-Jack-Adapter-Headphone-Earphone-Female-AUX-Cable-USB-C-Type/32752436284.html), specifically says works with HTC10 Evo/Bolt! Will let you know once I get it delivered!
Just got it and it doesn't work. Something like "device not supported blah blah blah". Ordered another one from Amazon, hope it'll come faster and will actually work! Very annoying...

I've discovered another type C 3.5mm adaptor which doesn't work https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XCR9P3X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 So be aware, folks! I wonder if anyone found the working aftermarket solution? I still don't want to spend almost 20 bucks for tiny piece of cable (I mean ordering directly from HTC), that's insane!

I purchased one from "mumbi" which arrived today and it isn't working either. Also getting that popup telling me it isn't compatible.
I'd be willing to pay 20 bucks for a working one but the HTC website doesn't even list an official adapter.
Is an Adapter for a different HTC phone working on this one?

Htc does have one listed on the website, its $11.99 + shipping. Just wondering if somebody have tried the ones suggested by @balla241

yes :good:

i had the same issue. my dad bought an adapter and it straight-up refuses to work for me. does anybody know of any fixes? the headphones that came with the bolt actually ended up breaking on me.

Try using the app ( soundabout) from playstore in connection with the adapter. Set media audio to plugged in headphones and any adapter should work.
Using a moto z force 2 adapter with my bolt and it works fine only with this setup. Otherwise it says incompatible adapter and no audio to the 3.5mm jack

Any success with a 3rd party adapter? Maybe if someone could disassemble one?
