iSync Phone Plugin for Motorola C350
2006-01-12 23:18According to the iSync Device List, the Motorola C350 is supported by iSync. But my phone was not found.
There are small differences between the supported model and mine. Using USB Prober[1] my device announces itself as:
Device VendorID/ProductID: 0x22B8/0x5802 (Motorola PCS)
whereas iSync expects[2] a ProductID of 0x3802 for the C350.
Instead of editing the iSync plist file I created an iSync Plugin as Rui Carmo described in his detailed iSync Plugins Howto.
Download
From http://pesche.schlau.ch/isync/motorola-c350a.html or through this direct link.
Installation
Copy the MotorolaC350a.phoneplugin folder into one of these folders:
- /Library/PhonePlugins (makes the plugin available for all users)
- ~/Library/PhonePlugins
Then plug the phone with the data cable, restart iSync and Add Device… and the phone should be found immediately.
Update 2006-02-04
There are now at least two sites providing iSync Phone Plugins (which I haven’t tested):
- Steffen Zimmermanns DIY iSync Phone Plugin, featuring my “Script” (the Property List file) for the Motorola C350.
- Nova Media has a Free iSync Plugins page.
[1] Installed as part of the Apple Developer Tools in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/USB Prober
