Hi Guys,
Had a lot of questions regarding the Brodit holders for the network carrier variants of the HTC TyTn, and what the Brodit TyTn holders fit:
the range for the HTC TyTn fit the folowing devices:
HTC Hermes - SPV M3100, MDA Vario II, HTC TyTN, XDA Trion, Dopod 838 Pro, i-mate JASJAM and Dopod CHT 9000.
At present we only have the holders available by Brodit listed under the HTC TyTn name, but if yours is one of the above, then the TyTn holders on www.dsldevelopments.com should fit!
Hope that helps all,
Cheers,
How do you put the tytn in the horizontal holder? Does it just slide down? Do you have to connect the cable manually? Is it possible to hook up external speaker/mic with this holder or is it for charging only?

Hi Tony K,
Yes you just slide it down into the holder. Yes you have to place the cable in manually for the Horizontal holders (codes ending in ***961) the Portrait versions slid in and dock onto the usb connector (codes ending ***960)
As with all USB devices from HTC it only charges, you need a bluetooth carkit like a parrot kit to get the full benefits of a phone kit in your car, ie additinal mic and audio out through your speakers,
Many Thanks
Bryson
I use the vertical brodit holder with plug for lighter connector. It works great and holds the Tytn securly in place.

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.
hi everyone
ive just bought myself a XDAIIs pda, ive set up TOMTOM 3 sat nav and have bought a BT TomTom GPS receiver. sat navs working perfectly. but got one BIG problem, i cant find myself a decent car kit. ive tried the Arkon CM531, didnt like it-too many wires and very messy, got carkit with fixed charging through the cig-lighter- did not fit my phone as cradle was for XDAII.
Im really stuck so could anyone please help me. im looking for a car kit which will allow me to slide my xda2s in and out easily, hold it in place and also charge it at the same time whilst its in the cradle.
ANY SUGGESTIONS
Same here ! I could not find anything decent. Any suggestion welcome !

I got the brodit one from handnav with a pro-clip and it fits perfectly and looks good (once you've removed the tacky brodit sticker). Only problem is that the hard-wired version isn't available for the PDA2K yet and the cost! A bundle including the clip, holder and charger set me back £70, but you pay for what you get.
Hard wired one is now available with or without gps ps2 port, I have just ordered one with gps, cost £59.99 plus p+p, the pro clip for fitting to the dash cost £15.99. hopefully it will arrive next week
Hi all, I have this Bordit 849582 for sale: http://w3.easytrade.net/brodit_shop/product.dip?item=1225583&fid=1225727
Just buy yourself a Rikaline GPS mouse . Attach it in your car and slide your Qtek 2020 into the cradle and start navigating!
Interesting? Mail me or just reply!
I think people hurry into buying a bluetooth GPS which leaves them with only a hardwired option for in-car. (some exceptions with multiple bluetooth capability) I prefer the inverse combination. If you're using your nav software you need to see your phone so its going to be in a cradle anyway. If you just pop down the shops you can leave your phone in your pocket and your bluetooth carkit still works.
I'd go for a cradle with GPS built in, or a connector for extrnal GPS. Preferably powered (battery hungry these PDAs!) then BT carkit.
But be careful with carkit choice. Some have the awful echo problem. Can't add much more than that except that an M2000 and Nokia CK-7W is NOT a good combination :-(
There is a decent carkit coming that supports talk function and wired GPS. It is already available for the 2020 and its coming for the 9090. It`s based on a CMPC Carcomm cradle. If everything goes right it should be released next week. I will buy it definatly and will keep everybody posted.

Cheap and Effective Magnetic Mount
Hi,
how about trying a magnetic mount?
http://www.tangshop.com/magnetic-cell-phone-holder.html
Cheap, effective and neat (inconspicuous), but you have to stick the metallic mounting plate onto the back of your PDA (somewhere in the middle, preferably on the battery). Fortunately, the sticky pads are from 3M so they are strong and the residue can be removed with normal dabbing of scotch tape. The metal plate is thin so it does not affect the fitting to existing casings.
The part that sticks to the dash is using the same adhesive too.
I've tried this with a Bluetooth GPS and the XDA IIs on the dash, and the magnet is strong enough to hold the PDA in place even through fast corners and bumps ...
Cheers,
David
Another option is from this company:
http://www.thb.de
However I couldn't find a picture of the cradle.
I have however seen the cradle in the flesh and is it very very nice... even has DSP processing for the handsfree.
It is very pricey though.
Forgot to also add this link.... has a few pictures
http://www.ptp.net.au/s8_cradles_XDA_Imate.html
I do not know if they have one for the tom tom as I do not know what a tom tom is, but ProClipUSA.com has some great PDA holders for the iMate PDA 2K

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/

or on brodit :

You need a car specific ProClip also from same website.
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.

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.
hi there

Is it possible to get horizontal car cradle?
It's just an idea... but couldn't u easily rotate nearly any cradle 90° ?
Joking apart I had an easy "fit for all" standart car cradle for my HTC Touch (2 years ago). There u were able to turn the part holding your device 90 degree to the left and right(the part fixed at the windows was unaffected).
Bought at pearl.de a german reseller.
Hi!
All the brodit variants have a swivel that lets you rotate the cradle any way you like.

You will need a ProClip mounting plate as well, all the ProClips is specific for each car make and model.

There is as well a car cradle from Brando that you can rotate.
