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

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

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! The unit is listed at Autopumpkin, but I can`t make external links yet, need 10 posts.. Search for SKU: CN03-03101B-US-A to find it.
I want to use it in my 2007 Skoda Octavia, and according to Autopumpkin it should fit (I sent pictures..) The big black power and speaker connector seems to be the same as the original unit, which is a Blaupunkt Nexus.
I`ve already asked a few questions to Autopumpkin, and got some answers, but there are still a few things that I need to know. I want to replace the original roof antenna with one that has DAB, FM and 3G, like partnumber 6R0035501D. Many to be found on eBay. I think I found the necessary cable for FM, with white female FAKRA connectors in each end. There are two white male FAKRA connectors on the head unit , I guess one is FM, don`t know what the other is. I think the antenna has red FAKRA female connector for 3G, I don`t know what the head unit has? Maybe one of the three SMA female connectors? I can read "Wifi" on one of them, but can`t read the other two. There are also two white multi pin connectors on the head unit that I don`t know what is used for.
I want to get the DAB+ module. FM is shutting down soon here in Norway, and this is the main reason for replacing the original head unit. I can`t see from the picture what antenna connector is on the DAB+ module , maybe SMB female? I think the roof antenna has a black FAKRA female connector for DAB. The antenna also has GPS, but some say it is better to use the enclosed GPS-antenna?
Not sure how the roof-antenna is powered. I can`t see any extra lead for power. If it is phantom powered from the radio I guess this must be done externally, or does the head unit provide phantom power on the antenna connector(s) ?
If anyone has an installation manual, or some other useful information on installation or issues with this head unit it would be great!
Hello,
I have never been a chinese devices fan nor I will be. However, I've got my hands on the Mate 10 Pro a week ago and I'm using it and testing. I have to say it's not the best phone out, but has a lot of potential.
I thought it might be interesting and useful to give others some guide about connecting the Mate 10 Pro to a car head unit from Kenwood (2 versions I have already tested - DNX 525 and DNX 516). I've smashed my head to the walls looking and reading for a proper solution to connect it to the radio car unit and I couldn't find anything. Main reason is because both Kenwoods are using a HDMI <-> Micro-usb cable and that's ONLY for older devices (until USB-C came on the market). So, basically, if you're trying to get an adapter USB-C to Micro-usb WILL NOT WORK! You have to use the above cable hdmi to usb-c!
1. Look for a HDMI splitter - 1 x father and 2 x mother so you can connect 2 devices at the same time (just like the one here: http://www.vivanco.com/Homepage/Products/Audio-Video-Antenna-Cable/Video/HDMI-Adapter/vivanco-42144-hdmi-splitter-1-2-black-0-5m.html?id=nsession;
2. Open the radio car unit and disassemble the original HDMI <-> Micro-usb and connect the above splitter;
3. Connect BOTH HMDI cables (the original one and the second one);
4. You'll have to find a solution to get both cables to the front of the IP so you can connect car head unit to the mobile phone (instrument panel - either on the gloves compartment or by making a hole to the small compartment beneath the air condition climatic control - this is actually very easy);
5. Assemble everything back and start the unit;
6. Connect the USB-C to the Mate 10 Pro (or any other mobile phone with USB-C connector) and voila! You'll have the complete screen on the radio car unit.
You also need to install onto your phone the Android app from Kenwood (that will open the MHL/HDMI).
What you can't do on the DNX525:
1. you can't control the phone through the radio unit - you have to use the phone to control it!
Let's say you have a Note4 and a Huawei Mate 10 Pro - YOU CAN NOT use both of them at the same time! Only one!
Everything is related to VW Golf (5, 6, Plus).
Apologies, I had no time for taking pictures .
This is a Joying for a vw. Running android 8.
There is two usb connections at the back. Left and right.
The one marked 2.o (left one looking at the front) works with the DAB adapter and Zlink Apple car play. All is good.
Q1:
If i connect to the right usb the iphone then zlink wont connect. Why? (Im assuming its USB1.0) Can I use one of the zjinnova adapters to get carplay on this usb port?
Q2:
If i connect the DAB adapter to the right usb it works but the sound stutters enough for it to be annoying to listen to.
Anything i can do to help this? Im assuming its a data speed issue.
Q3:
Any tips on getting both DAB and Apple carplay to work?
Regards Kurt
hi everyone
last week i bought an canbus with harnas cables of hyundai/kia , i connected all cables an canbus with my universal android car unit, it works fine, exept the canbus still disconnected, and i tried to setup in factory setting and it display : no canbus.
is anyone had same problem? can anyone help me to resolve this issue ?
Hi,
which canbus and harnas have you bought? As you are talking about a universal android car unit, are you sure your canbus is connected to the headunit? Maybe you have a pinout of your unit? Normaly I would expect there should be two cables between the canbus adapter and the unit called something like CanRX and CanTX.
Beside of this, you have to select inside the factory setting the correct canbus adapter.
Ciao
