How to install the mobile version on a Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC device?

This How-To will show how to install the Windows Mobile application on a Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC edition (WM5 PPC) device. This differs from the Windows Mobile 5 SmartPhone edition devices in that the Pocket PC devices have a touch-screen where the Smart-Phone devices do not...


PLEASE NOTE: this is for Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC and not for Windows Mobile 5 or 6 Smartphone (Windows Mobile 5 & 6 SmartPhone version can be found here)


Setting up the Bluetooth on your Windows Mobile 5 device

Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Bluetooth


To pair:

Make sure the GS-911 interface is powered (Green LED is on), by powering it from either USB or by connecting it to the Motorcycle

-> Devices Tab -> New Partnership -> select GS-911 device -> [Next] -> enter passkey of "0000" (four zero's) -> [Next] -> make sure Serial Port Services is ticked -> [Finish]


To set up a Bluetooth COM port:

-> COM ports Tab -> New Outgoing Port -> Select GS-911 device -> [Next] -> Select COM port and remember it ;-) -> [Finish]


To install GS-911 for Windowns Mobile:

You can install GS911WM5 by either

  • downloading the .CAB install file here and using your Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center (from Vista) to install it, or
  • by pointing your internet browser to :

http://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-911/software/GS-911WM5-PPC-709-1.CAB

Using your phone's browser, you will have to log in with your HEX Portal username and password too - however your browser will prompt you to do this when you go to the link above.

It should install and end with a message like "GS-911WM5.CAB was successfully installed on your device"

If you are having any hassles with installing a .CAB file, pls have a look at this helpful tutorial from Pocket PC Central


To setup the bluetooth connection and test it:

Now launch the GS-911 application and accept the License Agreement.

In the main screen, select [Menu] -> Setup -> Select the COM port you chose in your Bluetooth settings, and [Apply and test]

This should result in the listing of the GS-911 device's version, K-line Status, Serial No., etc..

Now you're ready to go!!!
