Is this adapter plug that connects the XDA to the cradle, actually the one that sits in the cradle,
availble from electronics suppliers somewhere?
I want to build a specialized adapter for my GPS mouse in my car. Well I could buy some
simple adapter for 19 Euro or something.

Is there actually any components inside the cigarette lighter plug thats used to charge the XDA in-car?
As i'm getting one of the digitraveler gps receivers, and want to modify the cable to allow me to charge the xda whilst using the gps. The only problem is I don't have an in-car charger for my xda, i do have to spare cigarette lighter plugs though.
Would it be possible to just use one of the plugs and send the + feed to pins 20,21,22 and the - feed to 16,17 & 18 ? as in Yorch's guide (http://www.yorch.net) Or does this thing need resistors and things inside it ??
:?
Many Thanks
Swifty, I modified a usb sync/charger with the lighter socket adaptor, just add the wires from the digitraveler to the usb cable, you then end up with sync/charger, car charger and digitraveler y lead/xda charger.
:? Hmmm I think I understand what you mean.. I don't really want to touch the usb cradle i have though, I just want to add the lighter plug onto the gps cable, solely for the purpose of charging when using the GPS in the car.
Cheers
Swifty, not the cradle, I got a usb sync/charger and a car lighter adaptor from ebay, I modified this instead of trying to add wires to the digitravelers connecter. The thread is under another posting about a cheap gps. Also the cables that come with it need to be modified to work with xda.
Yeh, I understand what your saying, but I'd rather not have to buy a car charger or whatever to then hack it about. Not when I have got several lighter plugs lying around, if I can use one of them... :wink:
Cheers
OK, if you use a standard plug end, you will blow it, if however you have an old phone charger lead that gives 5volts that should do the trick I think.
Aha! thats what i'm after, cheers mate
Anyone confirm its 5v I need before I cook my XDA :lol:
Cheers
The HTC XDA/Qtek must be feeded with 5 V. The current consumption can be as high as 1A when in use and charging internal battery.
I have made my own 5V regulator for car use, but this require some experience in electronics.
Here's what I have installed, with converter schematics.
More info here.

Does anyone know if the car charger for P3300, P3600, HTC Tytn, HTC Tytn II fits our TC?
It's somehow weird that the connection socket on the TC doesn't look like Standard MiniUSB but the cables originally provided are all standard MiniUSB !
This original universal car charger from HTC is known as HTC Car charger CC100 and fits all smartphones mentionned.

I don't know much about car chargers but if all they do is charge then the connectors should be compatible. Physical compatibility of actually getting the unit into the cradle is another matter though.
The connection socket on the TC is called extUSB (which I think might be proprietary to HTC) but it is physically based on the miniUSB connector and this is why a standard miniUSB cable will plug into a TC and how you can charge it and ActiveSync it off your PC.
The main row of pins are identical for both the miniUBS and extUSB connectors so when you plug a miniUSB plug into the extUSB socket on the TC then the TC will see the power lines and the data in/out lines exactly where it expects them and this is enough for charging and syncing.
The ext bit in extUSB is that HTC has added an extra row of pins to the connector in addition to the standard miniUSB pins. These extra pins are for the headphone channels, the mic input (which doubles as the FM aerial) and the talk/hangup switch.
Here is a link to the pinout: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/10/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config
I think this pinout is constant across HTC devices (at least fairly recent ones). I can certainly confirm that my Artemis wired headset works with my TC.

I'm using a 5-year old Motorola MpX200 car charger with my Touch Cruise. Works like a charm So I guess any generic miniUSB charger will do the job.

I can confirm that too... all standard minUSB car chargers work flawlessly with Polaris.
I bought the HTC Car Safety Pack this morning. For 65,- EUR I got a the car charger with MiniUSB (standard on all recent HTC models), window mounting kit + TC holder, HTC BH M200 Bluetooth headset + accessories .... and a yellow safety jacket !!!
Car Charger
Yes the O2 supplied car charger that I used on my Orbit 1 works fine
Does somebody know where to get a car charger which can get the power from behind the dashboard (using 2 wires to connect) instead of the cigarette lighter?
I don't like the wires hanging in front of my dashboard nor the large cigarette plug. Have googled around but can't find anything.
Alex,
I visited Halfords recently and asked that question. They will build it in behind the dashboard for about 30 euros. Any 12V extUSB/miniUSB carcharger will work as long as the output is 5V.

Kwabbernootje,
I visit Halfords (in Verray) yesterday and they have no clue about the service you mentioned. Halfords appears to be split into own affiliates and franchisers.
Where is the Halfords shop located that offers the service you mentioned?
motorola charcher
i was in the mornig whith my phone provider and he confirm that motorola miniUSB car charger do the work as fine as the original.
Hi,
I've just been going through the big thread on USB car chargers not working correctly on the Hermes devices.
Before I buy one, is it true that if I buy a 'fixed wired' usb car charger (the one where you can't detach the USB cable from the car socket end) it would work fine without having to solder pins etc?
Thanks.
get the car-charger on ebay
Search under:
Rapid Car Charger for HTC 5800 6800 Dash TYTN Touch
it is only $5.99 US\and $4.99 Shipping
and also see seller: apluswireless
I just ordered it
Thanks, I'll have a look at the link
I did a search on this but didn't find what I'm after.
I have an unbranded European GSM phone, which came with the European ac adapter for the mains, and the adapter for it to allow it to plug into US wall sockets.
Anyone know a good source for an AC Adapter for the rhodium that's made for the US? The other works but it sticks out of the wall about 3 inches with the US adapter attached. Also the USB cable plugs into it, and I'm looking for a dedicated power adapter.
Thanks!
Hi,
I can't seems to find a Female USB-C to Micro USB adapter anywhere.
Can someone share a link to a place that do sell them.
Do you mean an adapter that converts a female USB-C to a female microUSB or one that has a female USB-C on the one end and a microUSB on the other?
What we need is an adapter which we can use to charge our legacy devices with the dash charger. So female usb-c to male microUSB. All i could find is with some ****ty cheap adapter which is falling apart on aliexpress, which I don't trust.

Why don't you pull out the Dash cable from the Dash charger and plug in a normal USB-A to micro-USB cable?

Because it's between the wall and the desk. I have to pull the desk first. Also i don't have an another free socket for a secondary charger.

Ah okey. I see. Workaround could be to use an extension cable, so the dash-charger will not sit behind your desk anymore.

Would this do "USB Type-C to MicroUSB Female Adapter"? I'd previously bought their old OTG mSD adapter and just a few days ago ordered their Dash Micro G3 Type-C (OTG mSD reader) for my OP5.
Their products are on Amazon but at least in Canada their more expensive than buying directly from the Meenova web site. Shipping is not as fast as Amazon usually is but the products are less expensive than on Amazon. At least I didn't have to pay any customs fees or local sales tax in Canada. I found their products simply work and are durable as my original micro-USB OTG card reader still works perfectly. If it wasn't for the OP5's Type C connector I'd not even be buying another OTG mSD reader.
Lets try to make it clearer i want to take a cable which is male end is USB-C and plug it to an adapter and I would like that the male end of the adapter will be micro usb.

I'm guessing you need it for a dock like I do, just ordered this today.
That product doesn't have good reviews... Can't find it nd one that does haha
i use this in my oneplus 5, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018S827GU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
works with: oppo ha-2se, olds OTG usb adapters, dualshock 4, transfer data from pc, works with everything I tested so far!
