    Ok guys here's the trade.
    I cracked open my CF-18 (CF-18DHB22KA) and started going at it with a multimeter so you guys can benefit.
    ill attach the image with what i have learned so far.

    But i would like to know/link me to some information on and ill post links to what i know so far:

    The internal com port that is mentioned in the BIOS (Serial Port B) and how I can tap into it to add a second com port. or more then 2 by using the sled?

    The internal GPS Pins and how i could connect a GPS to them.

    is there any more information on the pins ohlip talks about?

    And the internal USB ports and Internal Bluetooth.
    I am under the impression there might be another usb port on the docking bay connector.

    is there a diagram like the one onirakkiss made but with the CF-18 pins?

    Also at the moment i cant get my bluetooth switch software to start.
    Is there a pin i need to join to another or something so it thinks its connected?

    that's it for now guys. i have also connected the sled and i am mapping what pins turn on and off with the wireless CDMA button on the front. but more about that later.
