PDA USB Sync/Charger/Retractable Cable for MDA III
Would also like to find a Krusell Case
Maybe its all too soon ???

I find that my XDAII adaptor fits as long as a push it in carefully from below.
The XDAII Krusell case just fits my MDAIII and there is already an extra cut-out in the right position for the MDAIII camera.

Prefer to get the correct one dont want to f..k it up only got it yesterday lol
The only difference in the connectors seems to be a small cut-out on the top edge. I've had my MDAIII over a week now and both my sync cable and my wired gps unit in the car fit fine.
Holy frijoles, the XDA2 adapter does work if you push it in from the bottom. :lol: This is great news. I just checked the amps going to the XDA2S and it is charging just fine.
Newbie question maybe but did do some searches first and couldn't locate any info.
I have just bought XDA IIs and I'm looking for a car mount for it. There are plenty out there for the XDA II but not yet for the XDA IIs, is there any physical diffeence between the bottom of these units, i.e the connecting/charging port.
Ideally I want one that will also charge the PDA and a GPS unit when I eventually get one. I have seen a Carcomm holder/charger for the XDA II that looks good but unsure if it's suitable. (available from TotalPDA, their product ref 4738)
Effectively two questions here as I try to solve one problem, any advise appreciated.
Cheers :lol:
Similar BUT different
The position, general design and connector pinouts for the bottom port are identical from the first Wallaby to the new Blue Angel, BUT the physical connector on the Blue Angel (XDAIIs, MDAIII, SX66) has a slight alteration from the connector in previous generations. There is a small keying protrusion on one side of the Blue Angel accessory port. Several owners of Blue Angels have been forcing the older type connectors into the Blue Angel and while the pinouts and connectors themselves mate up, doing this places mechanical strain on the connector in the Blue Angel as it has a mating protrusion that normally would fit into the keyway on the plug, but now is mechanically forced outward. Over time, this has a strong potential for damaging the connector on the Blue Angel.
Check out this thread as it has pictures of what I am describing http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12092
So, at this time, I have not found ANY Blue Angel specific accessories(ie designed to mate with the newer connector). In time these surely will appear. In the meantime, a little work with a Dremel tool can create the keyway in the plugs on older generation accessories and doing so will no harm those accessories but it WILL protect the connector in the Blue Angel.
BTW, I have both the first gen and the last gen, so I have accessories whose connector will have to be modified

I am still using a Clic on car kit I had for my Ipaq 5550, i purchased a new cable when I got the XDA2, and then used some black hard foam on the cradle, as the xda2 was a little thinner. Then when upgrading to the XDA2s, it used the same connection, and fit just as snug.
Seidio is supposed to be releasing a car kit for the PDA2K sometime this month. Check out http://www.seidioonline.com/

Car mount for XDA IIs
Hi, I have just purchased an Arkon car mount from ebay at £29.99 + £5 p&p. It has power and plugs for GPS I am using a Holux Bluetooth that I am powering from the auxillary power port on the unit, it has sockets for hard wire GPS receivers as well and a buit in amplified speaker. Go into ebay and key in XDA car mount. The same unit was £55 on Tottenham Court Road, I will say though that the power conector to the IIs was stiff so the previous guy saying about the difference is probably correct. Will get the Dremil out tonight.
Thanks for all the replies, I have now ordered an Arkon CM532 from E-bay and feel (fairly) confident of modifying the connecter to suit my XDA IIs as required.
Merry Xmas to you all.
How do you deal with the Arkon RF/speaker interference?
I read here that it was unacceptable...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13654&start=0
how do you deal with it?
As it turns out I didn't order a mount as an e-bay company i had already approached came back saying they were hoping to release a specific mount for the XDAIIs around about now.
I've just e-mailed them to see if they've got them in yet.
Keep us updated!

Arkon CM531 works with o2 XDA IIs
Hi Guys, I've been using my Arkon CM531 (made for the o2 XDA II) fine with my new o2 XDA IIs. This is a relief as it means that I won't have to dish out more money! Whoo hoo!
I use a mag mount kit which is £8.99 at PDA Mods http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=WSMMOUNT&cat=23
On the XDAII i put the small metel plate supplied under the back cover and that works perfectly. In the XDAIIs there is no battery cover so i have ordered a proprota alu-leather case http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=978&t_mode=des
which has a magnetic mount built in. I have not received it yet.
I then use a Wired GPS that i brought from PDA Mods for the XDAII. This also powers the XDAII. This fits and works perfectly in the XDAIIs.
If you have both devices and look closely at the XDAII & XDAIIs sockets there is a slight difference on the XDAIIs. But this is backward compatable. IE you can use any connector desiged for the XDAII on the XDAIIs but you can not use a connector designed specifically for the XDAIIs in the XDAII.
Just take a look at your power dongle for the XDAIIs it WILL NOT fit your XDAII. Strangely though on the cradle they fitted a backward compatible connector and not a XDAIIs specific one. So you can plug your XDAII into the XDAIIs cradle.
Are there any skin cases for the Wizard, like the iSkin ?
Ideally, with a slot on the bottom for the keyboard...
There is already a silicone case for the dopod 838 [WIZA100] unfortunately you can't use the keyboard with the case on. I'm using this case until I find a nice leather case or metal case for my dopod. it seems all the cases coming out are for the Qtek and O2 versions [WIZA200?].
where can you get hold of one of these skins
They are widely available at Wan Chai Computer Center in Wan Chai Hong Kong or Mongkok Computer Center. If I recall correctly they have Frosted White, Blue, Pink, Black [which I have] it's around HKD 100 [of course you can haggle a bit]. Remember this is for WIZA100 [dopod 838] and will not allow you to use the keyboard. See the pic...
i've seen the same thing, i think on ebay, for the wizard wiza200 but i doubt you could slide open the keyboard on that one aswell..
I doubt they'll be able to make a silicone case that allows free use of the keyboard [although I hope I'm wrong]. The slider seems to pose a big problem in case making.

Hi Bnycastro,
Would the Dopod 838 Skincase fit the Tmobile MDA Vario?
edojo: AFAIK the Tmob MDA vario is a WIZA200 model. So it wouldn't fit as the dopod 838 is a WIZA100 model [the VPA Compact and the Cingular 8125 are WIZA100s] Qtek9100/imate k-JAM are WIZA200's. Hope this helps.
Go to boxwave.com and make a request. They claim that if they get enough requests they release the product. Go to the link at the bottom to request a product for a device and then make sure "Flexiskin" is checked. It is probably a good idea to mention all the Wizard's aliases (MDA Vario, Qtek 9100, I-mate K-jam) so they see it is a device in alot of user's hands. I owned one of these for my Treo and it was outstanding.
Made a request, we'll see if they see any money in it...
Just get mine from eBay, cost me $26....but it works good
This case not only hold the PDA, but also hold two miniSD cards.
Just ordered one from Piel Frama: http://www.pielframa.com
For the Wizard specifically: http://www.pielframa.com/menu_qtek9100.htm

Yes that's been available for ages. I think what most of us here want is a skin case for the Wiza200 (instead of the Wiza100).
Ah, my mistake. Good luck, then 8)
man, why is it so difficult to find a skin for the TMO MDA.
yea and after seing this looks like we may never see one. the new phones got them already so we probably wont see one.
Hello all,
I have ordered my "O2 Orbit 2" already - to replace my well used and loved Orbit (1). From the press pictures it seems that the Orbit 2 is extremely similar dimensions to the original.
Does anyone know if old Orbit cradles will fit the new Orbit 2?
Cheers!
Where did u order urs from? O2?

"Seems" pretty equal, but Docking does not fit perfectly.
I ordered one of these cheap Orbit (1) stations in ebay
and I had some problems to get the USB frickled in the right way
to fit in den port of the Orbit2. Anyway, it charges and it syncs.
But it's actually not equal to Orbit 1 fit.
See pictures here: PPC-Welt
Thanks Olioaglio - that's exactly what I needed to know. At least it fits, albeit with a bit of a wiggle by the look of it.
Underzone - I may have mislead slightly. I've ordered one, however it is through my companies mobile service provider, and not O2 direct. They told be on Monday to expect further delays - so its the same wait going through them as it is through O2.
Cheers!
