Is Arkon CM531 Power Windows Mount work for PDA2k?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is the Arkon CM531 Power window mount work for PDA2k/MDAIII ?
Can it charge the PDA2k with this Xda II plug ?

Thank you !

Yes but they're not the best mounts in the world. Take a look at www.brodit.com .

You will probably have to disable the onboard speaker from the Arkon mount, the RF breakthrough is atrocious on the two that I tried. I did get it to work reasonably well by inserting aluminum foil between the phone and mount but it was still unacceptable.

My Orange M2000 should be arriving tomorrow (currently have O2 XDA) and have three things on the top of my wish list:

Jabra BT800 headset
TomTom Navigator 5 (bluetooth)
Cradle to hold the M2K in the car

Saw this thread and started Googling. The Arkon "designed" for the Blue Angel is the "Arkon CM750 MDA III 3 PDA mount with speaker and gps charger".

Don't know about the quality but for £34.99 and free delivery to the UK it's got to be worth a shot. Look here http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=X6AKMDA&cat=114

Only if you don't mind throwing £34.99 away! Spend the extra and get a Carcomm or Brodit cradle, you won't regret it.
