Default Connecting my GPS to XDA Car Kit

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to connect my GPS-Receiver (Rikaline 6010) to the xda car kit...and it doesn't really work very well :(
Well I'm really no developer and I don't know very much about all these things, but I think, I be able to build my own cable to connect the GPS to the Car Kit. BUT: what do I have to connect ??

The Pins on my GPS-Receiver called:

Pin Signal
1 Tx (RS-232)
2 +5VDC
3 Tx(TTL)
4 GND
5 Rx(TTL)
6 Rx(RS-232)


The Pins at the Car Kit called:

RTS - Purple
DCD - Red
DTR - Blue
CTS - Yellow
RXD - Green
TXD - Orange
GND - Black
+5.5 V - Brown

OK, I think GND and +5.5V is clear. But what about the rest ?
e.g. RXD with Rx(RS-232) or Rx(TTL) ?

I followed all the links I found in earlier topics about that here in the forum but all the nice pics doesn't help me...because they use another GPS-Receiver !

So, if anybody could give me a hint it would be really great !!!!


Thanks a lot

Rob.

"+5.5 V - Brown" on carkit to "2 +5VDC" on the GPS.
"GND - Black" to "4 GND"
"RXD - Green" to "1 Tx (RS-232)"
TXD - Orange to "6 Rx(RS-232)"

If that's not enough, you might want to loop "DTR - Blue" back to "DCD - Red" and "RTS - Purple" back to "CTS - Yellow" on the carkit side.
