If you can join the two cables using the DB9 connectors, it should work.

I have a classic Road Angel, so I only use cables which have a DB9 serial connector.

ok, i've got pretty much the same situation as the original poster (only my PDA is a Axim X3i)

Having sent an email to PC-Mobile they have told me that i need the PX3GS/P cable along with the 'Car USB adapter / charging cable set for most PDAs'

the only problem is that the charging cable only charges the PDA. I need to charge the Road Angel also, is there anyway this can be done?

Also, i've got TOMTOM3 running on my PDA but are there any specific properties i need to change in order for the PDA and road angel to communicate?

Thanks

How do you "normally" power the Blue Angel?
And that is what you have to do.

i normally power the road angel through the cigerette lighter socket as well (i've never used the PDA in my car yet)

the problem is that i have two devices needing a lighter socket and only one lighter socket in my car

You can get socket doublers from many car accessory stores.

Have you read the Holux cable review here?

You'll find that you'll only need one cig lighter socket.

Yep, seen the review. Unfortunately that cable doesn't work with the Dell Axim's though(i sent an email to Holux) they said the axims use different voltages and that they will have a cable 'at some point in the future'

I'm quite happy to use the cables from PC Mobile and the serial adapter from Blackspot but i can't afford to buy all those cables and then it not work, and at the moment, there doesn't seem to be anyone who can tell me 100% that the setup will work. Crying or Very sad

We do not know what the Blackspot serial cable is like but in theory it should work.
