They are quite thin wires, so I wouldn't use it for a power switch in line with the main power leads to the M2. I will probably add a heavy duty switch for that. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

No, don't "twin" them

Each wiire should, when the button is pushed, go to ground. The pin headers on the MB has 2 pins. One is negative, the other pin has to be grounded to operate. Basically, take the wire from the unit and put it to the pin that is NOT grounded on the MB, and you will be fine.

Thanks Wiredwrx. So I just have to figure out which pin is already grounded, and attach the wire to the opposite one. That should be easy enough.

It's a 400Mhz ARM on Windows Mobile 5....

coucouillu, there are very few pocketpc's that have a vga out. For instance, the dell axim x50v has one, but the axim x50 does not. If yours can do it then qtek will sell a cable for it so you may wish to look into that. Otherwise, you would be looking at getting a speciallized cf or sd vga card which is very expensive. There is no special software at all.

Thanks Wiredwrx, I tried your solution but it didn't work. I tried it on both pins actually, just to be sure I didn't identify the wrong ground - nothing happened. Those buttons would have been handy. Oh well. If nobody else has any ideas, I will just forget the power & reset buttons for now

& get on to the rest of the project.

By the way, I got the touchscreen working with WinXP on my mini-itx board. The touchscreen function & display (800x600 for now) is all working beautifully now.

BTT....any progress ever get made for this setup? I just got the 750FM and was hoping to finally 'finish the setup' once and for all installed all wires and everything. So far it seems like it'll be another 'for now' circumstance

Hello fellow 750 owners, I just got my 750 running on the bench, I also had to use the red wire labeled as light switch cable to get mine to power on (will be wired to key hot). Anyhow, after a minimal amount of fanfare I got the touch screen drivers installed (this procedure is kind of flaky if you are using a USB hub). Anyhow I was wondering if anyone has been able to figure out how to get a line level out put from the AM/FM receiver. The Instructions look and read like someone wrote them in a foreign language and then pumped it through babelfish for a translation. I want to send the output of the radio to the mic or line in on my sound card. Does anyone know?

There is no line out from this unit. I think I read in another thread for the double din with the dvd drive (made by the same company) that somebody bought some sort of converter from wall mart to convert the amplified output to a line output.

Scosche makes a multi-level line converter. I am using one right now with my monsoon stereo to add a line level out for my amp and sub. the 750Fm does not have line level out. it just outputs via the 45wx4 to the speakers. but then again, you could as mentioned, just add in a line converter. Why would you want to run radio into your pc anyhow, when it's already outputting? Unless your configuration is already established to use such a system.

Actually, it's the scosche SLC4

I am actually having trouble withthe drivers on win2k. It happened to misteriously work once totally fine. then i rebooted and it stopped. I keep getting a usb error. something about an improper driver. I'll be switching over to xp soon, but anyone have suggestions?

I am putting a stereo in my truck with equipment that I already have (amps, etc). Running just the radio off the internal 4x45 is not an option.
Anyone want a screaming deal on a DWW-750?

I'm not bein a dick or anything, but would you mind posting what kinda setup you have? maybe sketch it in paint or on paper and take a digital photo to post up?
