That depends on the PDA. Some may accept a direct connection but the
output of the 302 is RS-232 in the input to the PDA is generally USB.
You'll need a level converter. The Dell Streak 5 that I use requires
some interface converter. I use a K6BT serial to bluetooth converter
(it worked on my 302 and, with a different cable it now works with my
ClearNav vario). I know someone else who has a wired connection to his
Streak using a IOIO device. I understand you can buy them complete or
buy the parts and build your own. Lately I've seen very inexpensive
serial to Bluetooth devices. Here's an example

Except for the Bluetooth connectivity. You would either have to
build or buy a serial to Bluetooth converter to use the CAI-302 to
interface to a PDA. I used such a setup for over 3 years and was
very happy with it.

Can the 302 be hard wired to a PDA?
