This may be wishful thinking, but does any have one to part with or know of an actual source for one of these to use in the Carlson Explorer 600+?
In the past I found a couple of vendors who had them advetised and actually placed orders only to be told they were out of stock.
The Bluetooth (Atinav) is dead in my unit and am looking for this as a work-around.
From Carlson Support:
This is the information on the card you would need:
Product Number: BL4535-634
Description: Socket Mobile CF Card with Bluetooth Wireless
Thanks in advance,
Matt
Did you find one?
I'm looking for a CF Bluetooth card for an Explorer.

Big Al,
As mentioned, I had been looking high and low and no luck on actually tracking one down. I was just about ready to pull the trigger on a new DC when I did one last Ebay search and found a used one on auction. Ending up with it for $65 and it works great. I can actually run a wi-fi and Bluetooth connection simultaneously now.

I also found a used card on eBay (8510-00159), but I'm not sure it will work. It comes with a 14 day return option, so I'm going to try it.
Carlson provides the following link describing CF Bluetooth cards on the Explorer.
Link to Carlson Support, Bluetooth CF card
It is not clear to me from reading that link how the three cards that are referenced relate to one another:
BL4535-634
8510-00264
8510-00159
I went to Socket Mobile's website and it shows that the BL4535-634 is a Type II Compact Flash Card with enhanced data rate.
From Wikipedia:
"There are two main subdivisions of CF cards, Type I (3.3 mm thick) and the thicker Type II (CF2) cards (5 mm thick)."
Perhaps the BL4535-634 was the latest offering that Socket Mobile made before discontinuing the product line?
Matt, I'm curious if you can tell me - the card you purchased - was it the BL4535-634?

Al,
Here is an image...
This one works like a charm...

Thanks for your help, Matt.
I made a mistake in my earlier post - the BL4535-634 (discontinued) is listed by Socket Mobile as a CompactFlash (CF) TYPE I interface. That would be the thinner of the two. 3.3 mm.
The good news is that I appear to have purchased more or less the same card as you did.
What I purchased
However, I'm noticing that you got something else with it - a PC card adapter - are you using that? Maybe not?
Looks like the one I purchased might be a little older than yours. 2003 listed on card (yours shows 2005), and model ends with G (yours shows K). Hopefully that wont make a difference....
