Any news on when an adapter will be available? I had this one for my tytn and it is well integrated in my truck.

What is great about this is when you change devices all that is needed is a new cradle, the rest stays.
I have had contact with someone from THB, he told me last wednesday that there are still tests running.
It shows these are now in stock.

yes but this is for tytn and not for kaiser, is't it?
I bought a cradle for the Kaiser, but won't advice anyone to buy it if you want to use TomTom. The instructions are not audible when the phone is in the cradle :-(

Hi,
Anyone know car mount for jam that has external speaker?
Thanks
www.seidio-europe.com
Arkon from Expansys
I've got the Arkon cradle - it's not specifically for the Jam and it's a little uglier than the Seidio but I won't need to swap it when I get the Jam v2 (HTC Wizard which has better camera, flash, WM2005 and keypad, and they also mentioned WiFi b not g).... see www.expansys.co.uk for the cradle
One thing related to both these cradles: they have a RJ45 connector so you can attach a wired GPS reciever to the cradle which should feed the GPS data into the phone through the USB charging connector. Apparently this doesn't work for the Jam - I'm wondering why not....

Magician does not support serial connection over the USB connector. The serial profile is not implemented. You have to use a bluetooth GPS.

Mundl, thank for info!
BTW, how many bluetooth devices can my Jam connect to at the same time? Basically, can I use a bluetooth GPS unit and a headset at the same time?
Thanks.

Yes you should be able to. I havent tried it myself but somewhere on this forum I have read it works. The magic "search" function should help you.
Kind regards

Yes I second that. Excellent stuff.
I have an active Brodit holder for my MDA compact, and I glued a 2,5 mm jack to the holder, so that not only my MDA is charged, but also automatically connected to my car radio for listening MP3 files.
Kind regards

Yo,
Anyone got a new exec yet, and got tomtom 5 with a tomtom wired GPS receiver plugged into it? If so can you describe what you did, so i can prepare my gear for when it lands! Looks like I might need a USB to MINI USB lead to be compatable with my Arkon car cradle...............
Cheers all,
Bryson
Search the forum, loads of posts on this.
I haven't seen any posts on this. Plenty on BLUETOOTH tomtom but not WIRED.
As far as I know there isn't any type of adaptor like that on the market - unless anyone knows different? So its Bluetooth only.
Sorry, my bad, I miss-read the post. Thought it was BT.
Yeah, I trawled the forums, didnt see anything re a wired GPS receiver, so hoping someone can advise how i can connect my tomtom wired GPS into the exec.............dont want to have to buy a new BT receiver as well!
just got my exec today ,which I must admit was quick comming only ordered it yesterday ive got gps for my xda 2 but wont fit my exec
It wouldn't be as simple as a Serial to Mini USB adaptor because the serial bit would need to be a specific Xda serial fitting. I can't see the economical sense in them being developed.
Best bet is to flog your wired receiver on ebay and buy a b/t receiver. I'm using a co-pilot b/t receiver and the phone connecter that comes with it is mini usb. Charges the Exec and b/t receiver at the same time.
I Don't work
doesn't look good ....................
sh1t, really! why? let me guess, after 3 succesful incarnations of the xda..........HTC decided that it would be to easy co let the comm port style continue, and usb land awaits........
What you want to buy is one of these. Now my JASJAR runs TOMTOM while sitting in my Brodit charging nicely with no worry of Bluetooth GPS running out of power. MINT

I believe that the original OP has said that he is using this on a universal with WM5!

Am I being dim or wouldn't this sit at the bottom of the device when using the exec in portrait mode? I'm assuming that the Brodit holder can cater for this?
Yes it would sit at the bottom. The Brodit has no problem with this.
Can anyone confirm that this works on the exec and wm5 as neither are listed as supported/compatable.
If you look here: http://www.usglobalsat.com/item.asp?itemid=17&catid you will find you can download the NEW driver with WM5 support.
Take a look at the picture. Sweet! I know the GPS isn't plugged in, but it soon will be.
Looks good..
They were quick with the new driver!!
Let us know how it works with the Exec as my money is burning a hole in my pocket!
what about haicom-405 BT?
Alanplum - I have just brought a SD-502 to go with my O2-Exec - can you tell me what settings you used in GPS Info to get it working...or if you did anything else because i am struggling!
Thanks!
GAAAAAAHHH! Just received my SD-502 today and it does NOT work with the JASJAR. It is a driver problem. Lets hope they bring out a new one soon. It works with my PDA2k.
Received this from US Globalsat:
In reply to your original inquiry... We do have a plan to have sd-502 support PDAs manufactured by HTC( High Tech Corp.)In which, i-Mate Jasjar is part of.
Unfortunately, we do not produce the Sd-502 drivers. These drivers are developed by a third party software company. In result, we can't control the development schedule. Therefore, its difficult to predict driver releases
Help Help Help.
Recently I had to claim on my O2 insurance to replace my XDA IIi which I was more than happy with. It was running TTN 5 through a TomTom diamond shaped wired receiver and I had the phone going through the Pioneer DEH 70BT raido.
So guess what... O2 will not support or replace for an XDA IIi that went up the swanny and would only offer a XDA Mini S or some other poxy phone. So I take the XDA Mini S set it up with all the brilliant guidance from the threads that I had read. I then obviously have to change the cradle at my cost as O2 wont cover it.
So here is the problem, I have heard that the only GPS reciever you can use on a Mini S in a cradle is a Bluetooth one but as I use the Bluetooth connect to my phone I cannot use both TTN 5,21 and the pioneer at the same time.
So the help that I need if anyone out there has an answer it.......... Does anyone know of a cradle that has serial GPS support for the Mini S in a cradle so that I can still use the bluetooth on the Pioneer or am I stuffed. I have looked at loads of cradle selling sites but they are not very helpful and I am sure one of you top chappies can point me in the right direction. I did purchase a Mini S cradle only to find out that the cradle RJ11 port was to charge bluetooth GPS recievers which is no good for me..... Insurance who needs it huh.
Yours hopefully,, no desperately

Hi All, just got the carcom cradle for my tytn, its the one thats just a charger rather than full hands free. I also got the carcomm ENAV-400 gps reciever thats plugs into the cradle. So far i cant get tomtom 6 to talk to the gps on any of the com ports! Anyone shed any lights on this? No Idea what port its meant to be on, am i missing something?
Cheers!
Well, for anyone having this problem in the future, here is the reply i got from Carcomm about this.
Dear James,
Thank you for your interest in our products.
The TyTN and a lot of new phone models unfortunately do not work with a wired GPS receiver,
they can only work with a Bluetooth GPS receiver.
I hope this answered your questions.
Best regards,

So, dont buy a carcomm wired GPS, even though you can plug it into a carcomm cradle coz it wont work. Ive now got to return mine and get a bluetooth one :/
Mine works fine.
Only over Bluetooth though,
AFAIK it definitely wont work as a wired device using the Carcomm kit
We support these at work and have installed 10-20 devices installed and all work fine.
