xda car kit
how did you get on ?
was this the car kit from cheap.de ?
thanks

Installed, working and satified
Today I have installed the kit in my car, even the GPS is working fine, this however took a lot of reverse engineering.
I have posted a (dutch) review to the website of the pocket pc club, they will be publishing it soon.

Yes for the carkit, maybe for the GPS
If your looking for a simple, hassle free carkit that works fine --> Yes
If your looking for the above AND want to hookup your existing GPS AND are not afraid to do some handy work --> Yes
Else, wait for the O2 GPS and buy the O2 carkit+GPS (to be released next CEBIT).

Re: Yes for the carkit, maybe for the GPS
thats great I will be in touch with cheap.de to try & get one.
many thanks

What is the best GPS software for Driving Directions?

What is the best GPS software for general driving directions? I have been using Odyssey Mobile... had numerous problems getting my AT&T 8525 to work with an esternal receiver with BlueTooth... finally gave up and bought an AT&T Tilt at the full upgrade price ust fore the built-in GPS... very expensive but one of the best purchases i made ina long time...
Anyway my question is, I cannot even find a well written review of all the GPS software out there for PPC's specifically for driving directions, comparing the features of the application for all the biggest players; Odyssey Mobile, Tom Tom, iGuidance, etc...
Does anyone know of any such review and where I can get my hands on it? I feel as though I am just 'stuck' with the Odyssey Mobile because I don't know any better... have spent hours and hours looking for any reviews comparing them....

There are many you can try. Google Maps, Live Search with Speech input, and Yahoo Go all are free. Pick which one suits you. I use Wayfinder which is a pay but it has speech output for the directions as well as some other cool built in features. They all work with the internal GPS. I also use GPS test to prime my internal GPS when needed. Use google search or lurk around the kaiser newsgroups for info on GPS software.
Thanks but stil no reviews
Thanks for the information, but I still cannot find any reviews comparing them. I have looked allover the place. Note, you said this:
"I also use GPS test to prime my internal GPS when needed."
Why would this ever be needed and what does GPS Test do? I still would be eternally grateful if anyone could find a review comparing the major players out there (I heard that iGuidance has more POI's than TomTom in the US)...

Once again there are many threads with these items mentioned scattered all over the Kaiser and Kaiser Upgrade forums. Did you do an actual search on xda? GPS test is used, as I actually commented in a thread, to help make it easier to use GPS software programs such as Live Search, Google Maps, Tom Tom etc. It is another version of Quick GPS but it is better becuase it has more nuances to it. Did you do a search on Google for GPStest? It has a very nice website.
The information you seek are in the threads you just have to look for it and do your own comparisons. No one knows what is best for you but you.

The one which has reviews and was tested in USA is i-go, try this, I have the gpstuner software it is also a good software, but you need to do your own maping through google earth or google earth and recal. it.

First, I am about to receive CoPilot Live 7 in few hours that came out last week on Wednesday I believe. I will let you know of my personal experience with it. However, the best place for any GPS hardware, software, etc question would be to go to GPSPassion.com where they have everything you need from reading reviews to adding addons to your navigation software.
Hope it helps!

The Best GPS Software
Garmin Mobile XT is the best. It's just like the garmin interface on the one's you buy for your car. It's comes loaded on a 2gb micro sd card. I'm using a AT&T Tilt also. I paid the extra $25.00 for shipping so I had it within 3 days otherwise it might take up to 3 weeks to get.
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11413
i-Go is pretty, i-Guidance is great for turn-by-turn with audio.
will check out the Garmin suggestion as well.
I still think Tom Tom is simple to use with quick response if you got it working. The only problem is the map, which I paid $250 for US and Canada CD from Tom Tom and it works great.
Google map or Live search is good and free.

Do you have to pay extra for their traffic updates?
Checked out some of the suggestions
So far Wayfinder 6 has the best upside. No sd card needed just set the cache and away you go. I am hoping they will allow the kaiser/Tilt to have the Wayfinder 7 update soon. I will take a look at I-Guidance tho. There is a 5 day trial for Wayfinder also.
Garmin ! Garmin is the best
Garmin Mobile uses old maps. I got rid of it and used iGuidance instead.
iGuidance maps incomplete too

I have the new iGuidance v4 - its maps are far from perfect - a major I-25 freeway exit here in Denver is not recognized even though construction was completed more than 1 year ago! I emailed the company regarding this, and they essentially said "wait for next year's updated maps".
I have Garmin GPS units which all all very nice.
On the Tilt, I'm using TelNav which is also nice. It doesn't need any large memory area for map storage where the Garmin software does.
Drawback is you need to be within cell range to get the data (i.e. map, locations, best prices on gas (yes! Something Garmin lacks.), traffic info, route style, 2D or 3D maps, contacts from phone, etc.). They offer three versions: personal, business, and tracking services.
It's a bit cheaper to get it online from them rather than AT&T which is monthly. Online from TeleNav they give you 12 months for price of 10 (or used to be). They have a 30 day trial, but I decided I needed it quicker.
I like iGuidance a lot. I have a stand-alone Garmin and like it as well. Both companies use NavTec maps and rely on their updates for current map data. I'm not pleased with Garmin's current PPC software and won't buy it or anyone's that is locked to a specific memory card, that's BS. So I'm sticking with iGuidance for now. It's very stable on the kaiser, calls can be answered while navigating just be sure and use a BT headset to avoid juggling hardware on the road.
You can get a TMC receiver for a one off cost. After that it's free traffic info.
GPS Reviews
another good source for comparisons of gps software and hardware is PDA Essentials forum. They carry a periodical PDA Essentials and GPS Advisor which there forum is based on. It's worth a try for details on GPS questions.
I started playing around with CoPilot Live 7 yesterday. One of the reasons I bought this software is the free traffic updates you can get if you have internet access (GPRS/EDGE/WIFI) which I do.

gps software?

I own both teletype pro and iguidance niether software will run on my diamond.
Any sugestions or experience with this could be helpful. Thank You
You actually have a diamond? I am surprised considering they havent been released yet and currently you can only preorder them...
many people already own a diamond (including me ) they are ways...
navman
navman 3.5 works fine on my diamond..
hacked version i think.. got from friend for testing purpose..
@jeemahn I've got my hands on a demo of Tom Tom...
I'll see how it goes... So far it runs I just need to get out of the office and give it a go.
Thanks for the suggestion of Navman, I may have a look at that.
@rafiki6 Yes it was delivered to me yesterday by pdaplaza in canada.

I finally had a chance to get outside and tryout TomTom6 and it does indeed work.
i use mapking r12 works great, com4 57600 works great.
yes, I am..
tomtom 6.032 / AU maps 6.75
gps settings: other NMEA, COM 4, 2400 bps. first gps fix takes a while - 3-4 minutes. second is a bit slow - 2 minutes or so. I have compared navogation to tomtom go 730, Navcore 8.002 / AU map 7.20.
tomtom on Diamond lagging a bit. approx 2-3 seconds behind the tomtom GO unit.
while tomtom GO seems to display current speed quite accurately, tomtom 6 on Dimaond tends to be late few seconds. i.e:
at red traffic light tomtom go already at 0 km/hour speed, but tomtom 6 on Diamond will come to 0 2-3 seconds later.
I have tomtom 6 installed in main memory. map is recognised. Also no probs with BT paring to tomtom GO.

it is version 6 of TomTom but the map is just a taster map so map version is pretty irrelevant. If things work out and I buy it I'm sure I will have some detail.
I don't know what Map share refers too, this is the first time for using TomTom.

So did you have to do anything special to get it running? I've got a real version of Smartst 3.5 for my HP2210 and it installs on my diamond but won't run - complaining about needing to be activated and Smartst desktop activation fails with an E00068 error. I've copied everything I can find from the version running on the PPC and still no luck as yet. Other GPS stuff like NAVGPS & GPSDASH2 all work fine.

Celluon CL850 Bluetooth Laser Projection Keyboard

I'm stuggling to get my CL850 Bluetooth Laser Projection Keyboard working with my HD2.
I had it working fine with my HD with the manufacturers WM6.0 Drivers but I'm getting a "security database" error on my HD2?
I'm hoping that it may just be a BT Stack issue and that a new (or different) Radio Version may solve the problem.
I'm still on Rom 1.48 with Radio 2.06.51.07 - I've had so much added to my ROM I haven't had the time to upgrade it as yet
Has anyone had any success with other Rom or Radio versions?
Thanks in advance....
PS. There's a similar posting (not mine) in the HD2 General Forum but I thought it sits better here as its an accessory.....
.
Just bumping this in the hope that someone can help???
I've upgraded to ROM 1.66.405.2 with Radio 2.06.51.07 but still not having any success??? Anyone got any ideas?
.
You are a moneybag no one have such keyboard
too expensive for us (ordinary people)
wait until price will drop about 70% down
then more people can buy it, it means more people can have problems with it an more people will be involved to solve those problems.
but now it's a nonsense to get it for the price about half of HTC HD2
I'm having the same problem as well. I have tried quite a few methods with limited success. Its a shame really, the keyboard is really nice to use and would be perfect for Office Mobile on the move!
but now it's a nonsense to get it for the price about half of HTC HD2

i bought my keyboard new for £95 last month, cheapest i can find HD2 in UK is £460

???? You've made me smile - a lot..... I've had the CL850 for over a year.... Maybe I had more money a year ago??? Didn't we all....?????
Thank you though for your Very (VERY) useful comments.... Its always good to see members supporting each other
Back on topic though. There are a lot of Bluetooth devices that do not appear to be working properly with the current HD2 Stack? I'm hoping HTC will take note and address in later Radio versions?
.
I just explained why you shouldn't wonder that no one replies.
Simply very few people have this keyboard.

OK - So the first time in response to you post I'm smiling and showing some patience - now I'm really wondering WHY you have replied? Do YOU have this keyboard? Are YOU having problems with the current BT Stack on the HD2 with other devices? Do YOU have something useful to share with us? Mmmmm..... I wonder?
If you can offer some useful guidance then I would be most grateful?

Bluinput
I got one of these for £44 on Ebay Basically as a space saver if I wanted to use my HD2 as a document editor on a train/plane (will need a kick stand battery for this though)
There is a definate problem with BT on the HD2 in trying to get this to interface. Works OK on my XDA Orbit2 though.
I'm waiting to see if BlueInput will address the issue when it is released. Currently this is in Beta testing at the moment.
Given that micro-projectors are starting to be put into phones, how long will it be before we see laser projection interfaces built into a phone?
sooooo
anything? lets hear some good news. i love my celluon
no support for 6.5
I have the same problem. There is no solution because there is no support for windows mobile 6.5. Look at www.celluon.com and write an email with a request for a new driver/firmware for windows mobile 6.5 like I did and then wait....
Have you tried the WM6.1 driver?
I think i had it working on my Kaiser.
I havent tried the driver on my HD2 yet!
I have bought a second-hand of this , but no where I can find bluetooth software for it , so I can only use it throught USB, could anybody have this keyboard kindly share a copy of the shipped CD ? or point me to some place to download ? thank in advance. My email is [email protected]

[APP] CarAudio

Well, i decided to write a CarAudio app! I've been messing with car audio for years and i remember back in the day when i was less experienced (hell even today) that i had to go double check the wiring diagrams, or whip out my volt meter and calculator to get it tuned just right.
This app has almost everything you could want to install car audio, and lets face it. At least once or twice a year you get roped into helping a buddy install a system.
I will be updating the app's faq with any suggestions etc as i think of them or get them by you the users.
Here are the pics.. FREE no ads as always..
Let me know what you guys think..
Download Here:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/9bdfe89c-e4dd-4705-a766-bf6eb8325c9d
This looks good. Let me know if you want to best test it out.
That looks pretty impressive man ... im pretty bad with math when it comes to ohm loads and bridging ,etc ..this will come in handy . Not to mention the UI looks fantastic . Do you have other apps out ? I noticed you said "as always" .
Cant wait for this app!
Thanks for the interest guys, the app has been submitted for certification and should be out by friday.
The other app i have on the market is BandWidth.
Wow.. most impressive (FYI: was an IASCA national judge, high-end custom car audio installer back in the day, etc).
To you sir... BRAVO!
wow great work
makes me want to crank up my car audio business again.
And its out!
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/9bdfe89c-e4dd-4705-a766-bf6eb8325c9d
Version 1.1 already pushed for certification as well!
will it be available in the German marketplace as well?
Thanks
It should be, i did world wide. Unfortunately the local is English though.
Guys, is this app available to you outside of USA?
When checking up on stats i noticed that i was only allowed to view Canada and USA for reviews..
I selected GLOBAL but it might have detected the local?
Someone Please Confirm.
Edit***
Confirmed. Somehow i only made it available to North and South america only!!!!
Ok guys, its out for all REGIONS now, it will start showing up in ~7 hours so tomorrow it should be out everywhere.

Eonon GA8163 - Where to start with Roms/Firmware?

I purchased one of these but it's definitely not with-out issues. I've done some reading and see that someone has installed Malaysk's software on an older model and it fixed several issues including audio quality and speed. It's been years since I've last performed a root, firmware and rom installation.
I *really* don't want to brick this thing... and Malaysk's posts are making me dizzy with the broken english translations.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
If you dig that broken english bro, you should head over to the RU forum hahaha. There is some great info there, but you gotta learn what the Google translate really means.
I was gonna purchase this exact unit for my GF and was wondering if you could tell me the build, version, MTCD XXX, etc info from it, I would really appreciate it! I currently have a MTCD XRC 7.1.2 August 15th in my Audi and was wondering how things compared.
Thanks!
Well, I just ordered it for her so I will know the answers to all of this and MORE, on Wed!

I've this unit for 2 weeks now
I have MTCD_WWW_2.59_1
7.1.2
Had some issues with FM (sound is mute every couple seconds), and Eonon send me an update.
The new firmware did a good job for the FM issues, it's better, but not solved.
The new MTCD version is now WWW_2.62_1
But after the update the unit is not long in standby, max 5 minutes... after that its completely off...
They're investigating it now, hope to hear soon.
They are willing to help, like it.

New Canadian owner of a Chinese Product
I actually just bought this couple weeks ago..
After several issues with payments, where they asked for my drivers license to verify my credit card, after already charging my credit card.. After denying them my "life-long" identification, I was forced to complete the transaction through PayPal..
Overall, I have already lost about $10 CAD after the refund.
However, I just received my package yesterday and set up just the head unit. I still yet have to finish the GPS, Dash Cam and Reverse Cam.
So far, the WiFi isn't all that great and the Bluetooth is pretty limited in terms of connecting to things other than a phone.
(Tried with a Bluetooth keyboard, won't work)
FM Radio does sometimes mute randomly for a second or more.
I will keep in touch on this forum and hope we can workout our issues together.
P.S.
I'm a computer science student, so I know my code.. just need more familiarization with this specific android product.

Yah the FM issue may be due to signal strength, but I do not understand why it gets muted instead of just getting static.

I notice this issue when streaming audio with Pandora or Soundcloud. Sometimes it stops after a while. Not sure if it's a software or streaming issue.
One thing to note is if you have the Bose system, there is a 6" or so cable with a black box that needs to be plugged into the main stereo cluster going into the car (since the bose system already has an amp.) The mids & lows are horrible with the Eonon unit... I messed around with it for a couple days before I realized that the Eonon equalizer is just garbage. Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.desaxedstudios.bassbooster&hl=en and use that equalizer.... But don't bother enabling the bass boosting function. The equalizer is all you need to have near factory bose audio.
The bass boost equalizer app has to be launched every time you re-start the car to fix the audio quality.

Hope to hear more from you. Interesting that I'm not the only person having issues with the audio cutting in and out. Starting to regret this purchase honestly. I might ask Eonon for additional help (which we may never really get) and I plan on doing a detailed video review about the unit and customer service once this journey is over.

One thing to note is if you have the Bose system, there is a 6" or so cable with a black box that needs to be plugged into the main stereo cluster going into the car (since the bose system already has an amp.) The mids & lows are horrible with the Eonon unit... I messed around with it for a couple days before I realized that the Eonon equalizer is just garbage. Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.desaxedstudios.bassbooster&hl=en and use that equalizer.... But don't bother enabling the bass boosting function. The equalizer is all you need to have near factory bose audio.
The bass boost equalizer app has to be launched every time you re-start the car to fix the audio quality.

Malayask just released his new ROM for our units, going to be testing it soon! I just hope I can switch the launchers because I am not a fan of his stock choice.

Hope to hear more from you. Interesting that I'm not the only person having issues with the audio cutting in and out. Starting to regret this purchase honestly. I might ask Eonon for additional help (which we may never really get) and I plan on doing a detailed video review about the unit and customer service once this journey is over.

Please share a link to your video review in the event you do one. I recently got a 2013 Mazda 3 and this unit seems very interesting (moreso with the prospect of custom ROM support), but there doesn't seem to be much detailed info or reviews online for it. I'm definitely keeping my eye on this thread.
Honestly the quality of this machine isn't that good. It's unreliable and eonon doesn't care.

That's a shame. Seems like a unit with real potential.
