Guest KenM Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Just tried to plug my XdaIIi into the car casette adaptor thingy that we use for our iPod and it does't fit. Does anyone know if you can get an adaptor to go from the small output on the XdaIIi to the 'standard' mini jack plug size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some links were posted in this forum several months ago, a search should find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have tried that before posting I guess. found this link, but there appears to be doubt over whether it works because of a polarity issue. Is anyone using one of these with an XdaIIi? I'll see if I can find a UK supplier if it does. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone didn't read the thread properly and mentioned that existing adapters didn't work. They didn't notice that these were new & designed for the phone.

Guest KenM Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I emailed expansys and have come full circle to this. I've asked them if it will work with my Xda IIi because The PPC Techs site lists specific models including the Xda IIi, whereas the expansys site shows only one (generic?) option. Haven't had a reply yet, but I think I'll go ahead and order it anyway. Presumably if it doesn't work I'll have no problem getting a refund.

The idea is that you haven't seen the product, you don't know what you are getting. That's the law ;) Doesn't apply to underwearbypost.com; thank the legistators for making sensible exceptions!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KenM Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Well, it arrived this morning and guess what? It doesn't work! and guess why? the polarity is wrong! At least that's my view. If you connect it up to the Xda IIi and plug a pair of stereo headphones into the 3.5mm audio port you hear nothing if you push the plug all the way in, but you can get get audio out of one channel, or the other, (or, if you wiggle it around a bit, out of both) with the jack inserted only a third to half way in. Which suggests to me that the polarity is wrongly wired. I've now got two options (1) return it to expansys (2) I know this will be a mistake, but the little :evil: voice keeps saying 'open up the box and solder the wires the other way round, if you b^%^s it up it's only ten quid' Actually, I've just taken a look and I can't see any way to get inside, so it looks like it's going back after all. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fraser Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 You are due a refund for sure under UK law, especially now that it doesn't work. The words "fit for purpose" and "as described" will be your friends if you get any hastle. Keep us informed about how it goes. Perhaps they shipped you the wrong one? Either way, if it don't work, they shouldn't be advertising it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KenM Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Update on this for anyone still interested. I contacted Expansys. They were very helpful indeed. i posted the cable back to them and they supplied me with the correct one postage-paid. Great service and I'd definately recommend them.
