Tomtom and expansion jackets

#1 (**permalink**) 14-12-2003, 04:54 PM

Simple one for you gents, do they work together?

A friend of mine has lent me his pcmcia jacket for the HP5550, but I havent got a clue how to get it to work with Tomtom's cradle or even if it can be done?

Also, is there any way of using the headphone socket on the PDA once connected to the cradle, short of drilling a hole throught the cradle?!

Any help would be appreciated, cheers

Hi Miskers,

I use an HP IPAQ H5450 with the CF Jacket with removable battery fitted and I use it in an Arkon amplified mount which is very similar to the Tomtom one, it works quite well although with the weight I do not trust it so I stuck Velcro to it just to be sure... as for the lead you just need a longer cable with angled plugs it is a standard 3.5 stereo jack to 3,5 stereo jack.
