Urgent Question: GPS + XDA Charger Cable

I am wiring up a GPS mouse for my Dad's XDA, and I just wanted to make sure it would be ok link off of the XDA's cigarette lighter charger to also provide 5volts to the GPS to power it?
The unit is a Rikaline 6010, will the XDA car charger be able to supply both the xda and GPS ??
Data sheet for GPS here:

Need a reply asap
Cheers
Neil

Should be fine...
Not sure about your specific unit, but I have done exactly this with a Digitraveler GPS mouse, and it works great. Can't imagine the the load would be much different between the two.

um might work might not :| my dads i converted my dads ipaq 3870's car charger to power his bluetooth gps lol (point being it now isnt wireless lol) and the gps kinda steals all its charge power causing the ipaq to charge then stop charging and the ipaq drains instead
ive ordered a usb gps from ebay and a xda car charger im going to wire them up when they come ill let you know the results just try and see no harm in trying
gaz

It will run off of 5 volts.

i use the rikaline 6010 with tom tom2 software...but it came with the tom tom....2 leads come out of the cig lighter one for the xda and the other for the gps receiver....have a look on e-bay you can buy the leads on there own

Its ok, got it sorted now. It's all powering off the one lighter plug :wink:

docking station available

Both Expansys and the swedish retailer dustin have the new dockingstation in stock. I have ordered one to be used as a computer replacement in my summer cottage. It has two usb ports and vga/video output.

I received it today
It comes with no extra charger, so you have to use your old one. It has 2 usb ports, 1 vga, 1 s-video and 1 composite port. Oddly enough it has 2 mini-usb ports. One for syncing and one for charging. I thought that it would be enough with the sync port as it charges as well.
It can be abit fiddly to get the Athena in place,but otherwise it works like a charm. Now I need to figure out how to change the keyboard layout (swedish) and follow up on the mouse pointer issue. After that is sorted out I have a simplistic PC for visually impare (the text is hughe on a 17" screen).

£69.95!!!!! What a rip-off. I know expansys are expensive but that is a joke (sorry). I think I will wait until they filter thru on to ebay.

I bought it from Dustin for SEK 1024 so I don't think it is a rip-off. They do not have a history of over charging. I suspect a device of this price class have expensive acessories. I am a bit disappointed that it doesnt come with a charger.

One seller used to have the have them on ebay at about the same time that expansys used to have them (although I think that they didn't have the second USB port). However, it looked to me like they were withdrawn because suddenly neither expansys nor this ebay seller had any in stock at the same time. Shouldn't be long before they appear on ebay. I seem to recall they were asking about £30 for it but I could be wrong.

Does it come with an audio out? I try to figure out how to enjoy music while using docking station.

Yes, it comes with audio out. I haven't tested it though. Someone in another thread, complained about lack of sound when using the dockingstation.

Waiting for the result of your testing.

It works with no problems. The sound out functions perfect!

Hello Joohan
Does it have a slot for additional battery charging??

Yes, it does.

can someone find one a bit cheaper? I'd like it for playing around testing external hard discs and accessories with but 70 quid is ridiculous for internet prices. Must be very few of them or something.......wonder who supplies Expansys as you don't seem to see their items on Ebay.

might require 2 chargers for extra battery
The docking station has two mini-usb ports. One for sync and one for charge. When I attach the charger to the charging port, nothing happens. My conclusion is, that the extra charging port is for the extra battery. This would mean that if you want to charge both the Advantage and an extra battery, you would have to attach an extra charger to it. If this is the case, it is even more odd that the docking station didn't come with a charger.
The only explanation I could find, would be that the mini-usb has a limited power capability and wouldn't be enough to charge both unit and battery.

Try to insert only the battery in its slot and switch between the 2 mini USB ports then see what happens.

USB doesnt have enough amps to charge the Ameo as it is, if you look at the mains adapter its a 1 amp output, usb from pc im sure is only half of that at 500 milli amp. the second mini usb may be to attach a second mini usb to get the full charge, I have an external 2.5 HD and it comes with a usb to two mini usb to boost the current. even then it still strugles, without the external mains adapter, which is 1.4 amps.
I could be wrong, just my oppinion, But I notice this when im in the car using usb charger, it keeps everything runnning, "tomtom" but wont really charge it.

This has been discussed before - it depends on the car charger you are using. The one that came with my Brodit holder happily charges the Ameo while using satnav and screen brightness on full.

Bought it for 100 euros and I like it very much!!
It's standing right here on my desk and I use it everyday. Don't want to go without anymore!!

[Q] GPS, batteries and car chargers

Hey guys
Have got the GPS working properly on my SGS (props to those who figured that out) but I've noticed something a little concerning.
When I'm running google navigation that battery continues to run down, even when its plugged into my car charger. It'll survive for a good few hours, but it seems a bit bad to arrive at wherever I'm going and need to borrow a mains charger when I get there.
Anyways, I'm normally running bluetooth to my jabra speakerphone/fm transmitter, but nothing else that should agitate the battery too much, and with GPS turned off, it happily charges even with the screen perma-lit.
Im running stock JG5, and my dash charger consists of a cigarette lighter to USB converter and the stock USB cable.
Any thoughts on whats up with this would be greatly appreciated!

The phone is probably consuming more power then the 500 mah charger can provide. You need a dedicated mini usb for charging, the ones that actually are usb cables only provide half power

A/C adapter

I know the Streak 7 requires about 5.4 volts and something well over the normal 500mA to chage so not just any A/C to USB charger will work. Anyone know offhand of a good source for an adapter that will charge the 7 and preferably has a folding plug or the like so it's streamlined and also something that's rugged. I don't want a cheap $1.99 cent no name piece of plastic.
Thanks

Any 5v 2 AMP charger will work.

I too am looking for an a/c charger and would love an affordable recommendation. Ive looked everywhere and I find chargers that are like $24 (way too much) or like a dollar (don't trust it at that price). Thanks alot.

I have one HTC 5V 1A adapter from my old Hero that works (folding plugs), also LG 5V 700ma works as well (from Optimus One). I am sure these are slower at charging but they do work. Would be good for overnight charging.

Any ideas on a good, AA powered USB charger? I know AAs will get eaten pretty quick, but I have some Eneloops sitting around doing nothing and I'd love to get a little more juice on the go.
Juice on the go. Now I have a picture of a white Bronco slowly fleeing the cops down the freeway stuck in my head.

Thanks. I guess as long as they work it doesn't really matter how long they take to charge. Hopefully with all the tablets coming out, a/c to USB 2 amp chargers will become more accessable at lower prices. Until then ill just use a 1 amp charger.

Thanks, I went on amazon and ordered a charger for a Palm, it looks really nice and it was less than 4 bucks, Ill post again when I get it with a link if it works.

I got that one, but it only worked for about 20 seconds and then never worked again. I got a replacement, same deal. It seems very cheaply made and heats up very quickly. I made sure my Eneloops had a full charge, too.

I use the newest iphone 4 (white phone) usb plug. The printed spec says 1 amp, but it works fine, I am assuming it is the same unit as the ipad, but a different sticker. iphone 3 plug did not work.

Yeah, i thought it looked shady. But hopefully the cheap 1 amp charger i bought will work. There were some promising rechargeable external batteries on amazon, they run like 60 bucks but they put out an amp and look like they are high quality.

The charger that I bought works great! I'm sure its a little slower charge than the original charger but it is much easier to travel with. Link below replace "DOT" with ". "

naw not same as ipad charger that charger is kinda big about 2X2X1 with foldable plugs and also removable plugs to attatch an extension

fyi....1amp is definitely fine. Their car kit includes a 1amp 12v usb charger. Kinda peeved. I was expecting a 2amp one similar to the ac one that comes with the streak. Thankfully I only paid $7 for the car kit which is pretty much what I'd pay for another dock cable.

Is 1Amp enough to charge with the screen on the brightest setting while using gps and wifi ?
Also, I ordered 3 cables from china for $9 total. Ill let you know if they work properly and if so ill link them. Im planning on a cable mod for usb-otg on one of them. Will report back. Also, anyone have a complete pinout on the dock connector? Trying to find out if the only charging pins are the ones used for usb connection. We are going to need to be able to charge while supplying power via usb to devices. Thanks!

I haven't re-downloaded copilot yet since upgrading to DJSteve's 3.2. So I haven't tested everything out yet. Have my hotspot though so I theoretically can. With more 2amp chargers out there, it should be a moot point though. I just picked up a dual one that has both a 1amp and 2amp. With the loaner car at the moment, I'm kinda just dealing with the usb port for charging. Kinda cool it even has usb.
I will say, the viewpad 7x is catching my eye though. And with HC on the Dell, resell should be easy. Just saying.

Yes 1 amp will charge the device at full brightness with GPS, Wifi, and Bluetooth.

Awesome ty. I was using a 2Amp charger but lost it.
Edit.
I picked up an OEM HTC USB wall charger 5v 1Amp.... it does Not charge it with screen on, wifi on, and gps

I assumed it was pad, but I guess it is just an iphone charger. Its a small cube with usb slot. Charges unit with no problems.

Which device do i have? Could i get Firmware for it?

Hey Guys.
Few days ago i buy a New Radio for my car. 2din from eonon. Could you please lock at the pictures if you had heared ever bevor of it? Do i get a Custom Firmware for it?
Eonon GA2168
MfG Stefan

Eonon GA2168
Me too ...upgraded from pumpkin RK3066 to a Eonon GA2168 , and looking for CFW,
have been very pleased with Malay`s firmware on my RK3066

Does it support sleep? How fast is it - like a PX3, or a PX5?

I ordered one of these and sent it back because as soon as I connected power to the stereo it blew both fuses to the headunit. I got the replacement unit and the same thing happened... I took a multimeter and my car shows 13.5V coming out of the red and yellow cables that supply power to the unit... I just sent that one back and am waiting for my 3rd one to arrive. This time I'm gonna take it out of the box and bench it with a battery by running 12V and 30 amps to it. If it blows with that then I know these units are cheap and will probably purchase something different. Any comments or suggestions for me? I also want to mod it as soon as I can actually get it to power on...

search“天之眼”，u can find the webside of this machine.

No power problem here, had it in 3 different cars.. volvo v70 ,xc70 and in a G wagen. measured power in :12.6v. and 13.8 in and no problem. must be a car charge regulator issue , to much Amp is no problem, but i guess your car was not running when connecting..Odd
