I need to find the power adapter that converts the standard circular connection that most accessories have to the flat connection that fits the SX 66. One came with my SX 66 but it's broken and I need one for my GPS kit.
Any ideas on where I can get this? I have a Pharos BT GPS kit and need the adapter so that I can power the phone and charge the GPS at the same time.
Thanks!

It's the 22 pin DC adapter that comes with the phone.
Any ideas?

Does anyone know where I can buy the plug that plugs into the bottom connector for an XDAIIs?
I've asked everyone I can think of, searched Google, Maplin(UK) and Expansys and I can't find one.
It's probably because I don't know the correct name for it!
Ideally, I'd like one that has all 22 connections and even cables attached - they look really hard to solder onto by hand!
Any information would be greatfully received :lol:
Thanks

http://www.gomadic.com/connectors.html sells connectors
Wallaby, Himalaya are compatible with HP iPAQ Connector Plug Assembly (19/22/38/39/41/43/51/54/5500 Series)
but read that the plug of BlueAngel is not exactly the same.
I purchased an XDA II car charger from the O2 shop in Manchester - it came with a plug that works fine with my XDA2s - have used it on the car charger and on the supplied power lead - charges fine.
When I got my IIs, it CAME with the plug already, any standard car charger can plug right into that plug and then the IIs... You sure you guys didn't get it?????
I think you mis-understood me - I'll try again!
I have developed a complete installed car kit for XDA, XDAII and IIs that does the following.
Mutes stereo when in call and puts all sound to front speakers
Can put navigation commands through the stereo
Hooks up to external microphone
Has PS2 (Holux) and RJ11 (TomTom and Leadtek) GPS connections
Charges device
I'm trying to get hold of a connector with 22 connections because I have one problem left.
To switch the car kit on, I either need a 5V feed from the device OR need to be able to put 5V in on one pin and get 5V out of another.
If anyone can help with either the connector or letting me know which pins I might be able to use send me a mail please
Thanks

have you tried RS componets or CPC.?
Is this all I would need to receive a GPS signal on my i-mate JASJAM?
http://cnn.cn/shop/8525tytnhermes-antenna-p-1615.html
I just sent the following inquiry to them, I'll see what they respond.
It sure would be sweet if that is all it needs!

Does this item imply that a Cingular 8525 has a built in GPS that will become active using this item?

think their is a thread about this topic and sad to say it does say a GPS solution other than buying a reciever is very much improbable..
here's the link to the topic:
My solution was to purchase the Garmin Mobile 20 cradle. www.garmin.com
The cradle holds the phone and has a suction-cup mount for the windshield. The cradle plugs into the cigarette lighter and has a charging cable that plugs into the mini-USB port on the phone.
Software can be loaded on your memory card (I have all North American and Canada).
For less than $250, I have a very good navigation system that travels with me.

promising product but kinda expensive though.
OP, if your considering Erik Latranyi's suggestion, you may want to consider buygpsnow.com, i dont work for them but i can swear by their good service. they have packages too that you can choose from and more cheaper than Erik's setup.
That antenna on cnn is not for hermes. It plain and simple will not work. The connector on the phone that it is shown linking too is a GSM antenna connector for car kits.. it will not provide GPS.. not now.. not ever.
Bluetooth GPS's are easier/cheaper/faster/tidier and the real killer... possible
So go for one of those instead. I use a $50/35GBP Holux bluetooth GPS with my hermes.. works fine.
(on the plus side.. if you are lucky the cnn antenna wont damage your phone.. if you are unlucky it might well)
Hi,
I own a car charger for my AT&T 8525, but on long trips my GPS bluetooth receiver is always running out of power (I just have one power-out in my car!)
I found an old mini USB Y-Adapter from Motorola in my collection of cables. Can I use this adapter to charge my 8525 and my bluetooth receiver at the same time? I would like to get confirmation before I try it, because I don't want to damage my device (maybe the wires are different because the adapter is from Motorola?!).
Hope one of the experts here can help me
Thanks in advance!
I personally would buy fom local electrical/car store a dual power adaptor that plugs into the power outlet. Bought one a while back for $15aud. This does mean you require another power adaptor for your GPS but I find they generally supply that with the reciever... Cheers...
Hi everybody!
I would like to use my TOPAZ with GPS and TMC in my car, but without charging, the batterylifetime will be very short.
Does anyone know if its possible to get an charging cable witch integrated antenna for cars, or something similar I can modify to do this job.
Maybe I can combine a normal Headset with a charging cable.
thx
I am using this one. Very good to fix and give a good position to view the GPS maps. Besides, recharges battery and has a speaker/mic system so that you don't need to enable the speaker on the phone to receive or make calls.

Haven't found any one with a antenna for either GPS or Cell radio, yet. It seems TD2 won't support external antennas.
Regards,
Roberto.
yeah, i'm looking for such a cable too. but havent found any yet.
cant be so hard to integrate some wire for radio in a charging cable.
i bet a lot of people would like to have it.
update: now i found two accessories which might help.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Audio-Cha...17?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1250514224&sr=1-217
http://www.amazon.de/Diamond-Y-Adap...r_1_28?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1250514463&sr=1-28
i think i will check out the first one and hope it works for the antenna too.
Home made cable
It's very simple to make the cable yourself. I have done it and it works perfectly...
What I did is the following:
1) I took the headset from my old Tytn II (or use the new one if you can lose it), and cut it just before the volume control (seen from the phone).
2) I cut open the usb connector, took off all plastic insulation (is some work) and disconnected all cables except for attachment number 7 (see figure), which is the antenna cable (this is the strand of small copper cables without further insulation around it).
3) I took a car charger and cut off the usb connector and soldered the two wires to attachment numbers 1 (red wire) and 5 (black wire).
Be very careful to solder very well, because you don't want any shortcuts...
Voila it's working.
Even better is the following (which I'm going to do now, now I know it's working):
1) Buy the following connector:
http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=266
2) Solder a simple cable of about 0.7 mm^2 and 75 cm long to port 7 and solder the car charger to ports 1 and 5.
That's it...
Combine this with the following software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512630
And you will have TMC available in IGO or other navigation software.
Hope to hear if it works (for me it does). I have TMC now and charging when using my IGO, and besides I can use my bluetooth carkit, because it doesn't think there is a headset connected to the usb!!!
@amraam12: Wich rom and radio rom version you are using? I tried the same, but no luck: when putting +5v on the charing line, the radio gives no signal. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535358&page=3)
rom
rom: 1.39.114.2 (47382) nld
radio: 3.43.25.19
Antenna only
amraam, in case I just want a better reception provided by an external antenna and don't need to recharge while connected, if I solder an antenna connector to pin 7 (and 5 = GND) in a extUSB connector I'll be able to have much better reception, right?
How about using an antenna like this (http://www.wpsantennas.com/301103-wilson-cellular-magnetic-mount-cell-antenna.aspx) for that? Do you think that may work to improve reception on low signal places?
From your tests, how better is using the external antenna?
Thanks.

That is a TMC (Traffic Message Channel) antenna. It is used to receive info about traffic from a specific FM channel so that GPS can calculate better routes. I don't know exactly if it is connected to pin 7, but probably is. To use that service, it should be available in the place you are driving. I am just guessing, but Pin 7 seems to be only a connection to an antenna for FM frequencies (around +80 ~ 108MHz).
I haven't found anything stating it can also be used to received external GPS or Cell Phone radio external antenna signals. These are all very different frequencies, btw.
Regards.

Is it possible to receive fm stations on td2 while it is connected to this charger?
If so, maybe also tmc data could be received by it without pluging in the headphones.

I was wondering if there is any inexpensive device I could get that uses AA batteries to charge the phone?
When I had the TP2, I had a duracel device that used 2 AA batteries and had a plugin for Ipod and USB MINI and this is usb micro, so it won't work. (this was at Costco. Anyone else remember this?)
Any ideas?
No need for such devices. Just use a AA battery and use copper wire to connect the ends of it into your battery. Should work in theory, don't know about viability though.

If you still have your USB Mini device, you can find USB Mini to Micro converters on Amazon. I use one on my car charger and it works great.
On my bus ride from basic training to ait I found one at radio shack it had a mini USB micro USB and a connection for iPod too and it was made by their generic brand but it worked pretty well

Thank you
never thought of a converter before.
Thanks for the radio shack idea.
I'll check both out.
Ebay
There is a variety of external battery chargers on Ebay. Check it out
