I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but has anyone attempted to load the XDA IIs onto a standard XDA II?
I'm aware that the IIs has a keyboard & wireless, but apart from this the unit is technically identical, and I suspect that the drivers for the keyboard & wireless will just fail to load, even though the ROM's are specific to each device.
dont even try it !! you will kill your machine! The ROMs are NOT compatible to each other. A IIs will not start with a II ROM nor the other way round

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials/read-ups available for setting up GPS for the XDA?
I'm aware of the software available ( Tom Tom etc) but am unsure if I need further equipment/cables etc.
I don't want to hook up to the car, just to be used handheld as I roam the streets! (Errrrrr....!)
Thanks for any info, in advance.
Midi :?
(UK, XDA I)

this tomtom2 support xda and comes with anything maybe apart from all maps
deleted
well it will when tomtom make their new software update
and i think he's talking about xda1
and the link i gave is not for the bluetooth version
You might it find it very ungainly, the xda needs a cable device which also needs power, so I think you need to look for a different solution unless you are willing to carry the gps, cable, power source, xda etc. For in car it is fine, any questions about gps with xda I will do my best to answer.
I am looking at upgrading my GPS system to a PocketMap system using an Arkon Powered Multimedia Windshield Mount Kit w/Built-In GPS using Xtrac V2.0 Ultra-Sensitive Firmware. Does anyone know if 1) the plug into the bottom of the Siemens SX56 is the same as on a XDAII and 2) do I need to do anything to my Siemens SX56 software, rom, firmware, etc. to use the program? I'm not real knowledgeable about this stuff and the unit that is being sold is listed as compatible with an XDAII phone. Here is a link to the web page. http://www.pocketmapstore.com/pomuwimokitw.html
Thanks for your help guys/gals.

I think most of the pda's mentioned are xscale processors which is the later arm chip. I would check with seller first. I have the same arkon mount and the noise from the speaker as a result of rf breakthrough from the radio on xda and xda 2 is unbearable, I dont know if mine is faulty or maybe they changed the design.
I sent them an e-mail, but no response and unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge of this area to understand your response. Other than the noise issue you are having, are you saying that it will probably or probably not work?
Is possible ???????
If you like to live dangerously.
Himalaya has different hardware.
It's like putting diesel in a gasoline car.
I haven't tried it (not the rom, nor the diesel) , but i STRONGELY advice against it.
how about putting the mini xda rom in xda IIs or pda2k???

The Mini has different device drivers that are not all compatible with XDA2. I suppose Mini is using different bootloader as well???
The worst case scenario is that you kill your XDA2 device and are unable to restore back to XDA2-based ROM. I will salute whoever's willing to sacrifice their XDA2 for such a potentially expensive experiment.
I have a BT GPS BLuetooth and an XDA IIi device. I can pair the devices using the standard 0000 code, but it displays with a ? on my device (even though it said pairing sucessfull).
It should also say "this device has serial support, would you like to enable?" however it doesn't display. It worked fine on my Windows 2003 XDA II device, but since I now have the XDA IIi deviece with WM2003 SE it doesn't work.
Could someone please advise, its driving me nuts.
:roll:
Many thanks in advance.
Hi all
This is my first post here so hope it's in the right place
I'm a longtime XDA and then XDA II user but one thing i've never got properly sorted is the in car thing.
I'm looking at buying a new mk5 Golf and they do a two part phone prep kit for it. One for the 'car' and then another for which ever standard ish phone you have.
Now of cousrse they don't do an XDAII version
I was wondering if I got the 'car' bit whether the XDA II could be hooked up to it ? with a bit of soldering etc ?
Not sure how much control I could have over the phone beyond sound through speakers/answer call etc ?
Does the XDAII edge connector have many inputs/outpust for controlling the phone ??
Thanks in advance
