Using existing USB host port/OBD2 USB installation on GPS
Добавлено: 02 фев 2013, 08:33
Hi all,
I'm keenly trying to get hobdrive working nicely on a Chinese GPS, running Windows CE 6.0. The unit is a flip-up dash style device, installed in a Mazda 3 MPS:

The unit has a standard USB (host) port that I'm able to mount flash drives and hard disks, which can be viewed under Windows Explorer (icon always says "HardDisk").
Plugging an OBD2 cable into this connector does nothing, the dongle is powered but there is no detection of the cable or request to install the FTDI driver.
According to the FAQ ...
... from your experience, can I assume this USB port is not a native Windows CE device - and that I will need to wire up another USB host cable off the GPS card in the unit? The software on the unit is quite locked down (compared to other devices I've come across), so could be this too.
Thanks in advance,
JB

Front side usb connector for connecting flash drives with music does not fit - it is not connected to the WindowsCE of the unit.
