Car Cradle for PPC 6700 with Charging (mini USB)

[avatar1961]

BobC -

I have a Sedio and it works really well. I plugged in one of those 2.5 to 3.5mm adapters from Radio Shack that DO NOT WORK with the 6700 to the Sedio and plugged my cassette adapter into that. I've got a 4gig SD card in the phone and play all my music through it and the adapter to the stereo in the car. It's GREAT! Plus, I get the handsfree calls, can speak for the music I want, etc.

I also bought a 2.5 to 3.5mm adapter from Sedio which I can plug any headphones into, or the cassette adapter as well...it was about $6.00 I think. It works just GREAT with the phone....the RS adapter will NOT work with the phone itself (only 1 channel comes through).

So get the Sedio adapter for headphones, etc. With the Sedio holster, you just use any old regular adapter.

Oh...and the Sedio plugs into your lighter socket so you can recharge your phone that way. AND if you get a GPS and software it makes a dandy GPS system. I have INavigator and an ITrek Z1 and with the Sedio, etc have one really slick GPS system. And it cost and is more versitle than a "normal" GPS system.

Umm... you got a 4GB card to work with the 6700?

Link please. I've heard time and time again that those do NOT work with the 6700 so you've got my curiousity piqued.

RadioShack claims to sell similar adapters. NONE OF THEM work! Don't waste your money.

If you are looking for one with a built-in mic, try seidioonline(dot)com. They sell one with a mic for about $12. I guess you could use your car speakers for a 'speakerphone', but I haven't tried that yet.

If you find a workable FM modulator, let me know. The one I bought from BestBuy was crap. I'm leary about buying another.

Radio shack has an adapter made for 'cell phones'. It has the 4 sections plug and converts it to the 3 section 2.5 stereo plug. It's 10 bucks but doesn't have a mic or a call answer button.
Verizon store has a cable from the cell phone plug to 2.5 stereo WITH the call answer button AND a mic AND volume control. I purchased and it works perfectly!

I use this product from Gomadic. They make a lot of good stuff and have never disappointed me.

I have a 4GB card in my 6700 and it works. It's one of the generic ones from Ebay.

I can't post links yet. If you go to Ebay and type "4GB mini sd" in the search, right now, it's the first one on the list. It's black with white (or silver) writing. Just says "4GB" with the miniSD logo.

Comes with an SD adapter. Works great (Sans the normal Sd issues with the 6700).
