Anyone would have this ? I've got so many old earphones available, would like to use one if I know how to connect wires to a miniusb plug.
Can you not buy an adapter for it?
I could, and I actually will, but I would like to know how it works too
Here's a link to make one;

I just bought the HTC 3-in-1 adaptor from ShopBrando HK. I am using it in the car with the Brodit holder to have both charger and 3.5 mm for the car stereo aux input. I am modifying the holder (removing the charger pin for the adaptor 11 pin).
The problem is that the adaptor's wire is too short. I want to hide the adaptor somewhere in the car and a longer wire is needed.
I am thinkng about
a) Use and extension wire ( if there is any) Is there an extension cable (male to female -11 pin usb) ???
b) Cut and extend the lenght of the wire.
What is the wire used?? If I cut the wire to extent it, what kind of wire should i ask for?
Thank you
This is exactly the same problem I am facing. Can't find a ExtUSB Male to Female extension. But I would be up for trying to extend the cable if I could buy some. Hopefully someone will answer.

Just clip off 1/2 inch and take the sample with you to the store to show the sales people. At the same time, you should get the proper connecters to splice the wires together.
Does anyone really need to extend all 11 pins for both audio and power, or just power, or just audio?
I found video out cable schematics, but, does anyone have USB to 3.5mm scheme?
It's pretty hard to obrain it here in Serbia, and I like to make things myself anyway.
So, who can help me?

Hi there.
I have a question. with the oem adapter that has miniUSB, i can connect any universal miniUSB to RCA cable and it will work, am i right?
No you will need the HTC Cables. The HTC connector is different from standard mino USB adapter since it has extra pins ( 11-pins to be exact).
Yes, but i was thinking about conecting an adapter to make the HTC usb to standard miniUSB and then connect a universal miniUSB to RCA cable.
Is it possible?

There is a thread around here somewhere about modifying one by grinding down a portion of the third connecting ring on the mini-plug. I´ve tried it and it seems to work fine, but you have to turn the plug to properly orient the missing area so that the phone does not recognize it as a headset.
I found on Ebay, It's about $18.
Anyone know what wires from the USB would I solder to make my own adapter?
I don't have a CC at the moment and can't order overseas. Which of the 4 wires would I solder to the audio plug, which I have?
Has anyone used these with AKG 240's?
thanks in advance!
kaiser don't have a mini usb connector
it have an extUSB which is a mini usb connector
together with analog sound pins on the other side
of the connector
you can buy extusb converters for a few coins
however one can't make an miniUSB headset at all
unless the headset contain an usb soundcard and the
device support usbHost which kaiser don't
just get a dirt cheap conveter
but if you must do it youself then here are the pinouts

I have a spare adaptor. can list via feeBay so you could purchase from your own country.
Would be cheap (just enough to cover costs)
Just a thought, if of any use to you pm me.
If anyone is keen , or if you are like me and have a spare headset from another phone you can use the following diagram and cable colour code to make your own video out cable.
I have used the Raphael cable for this excercise as I like my old Hermes one better.
You will need:
One Red White and Yellow RCA Cable
Step One. Remove pin four from the extUSB plug. *note this can be tricky but is necessary to allow the device to recognise the cable as a TV out cable as opposed to a Headset cable. I used a needle to bend into the middle of the plug and then used a tiny micro screwdriver to bend backwards and forwards until it broke. Be careful not to damage any of the other contacts. Please see post 20 for an easier option that doesnot involve removing pin 4
Step Two. Cut cable as close to mic piece as possible and remove outside cover.
Step Three. Solder the following pairs of cables together using the following codes:
Video positive (Yellow RCA end) --> White pvc coated cable (extUSB end).
Video sheild (Yellow RCA end), --> blue copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Left (White or Black RCA end) --> green copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Right (Red RCA end) --> red copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Sheild ( both Red and White or Black RCA end --> copper cable (extUSB end), * note the copper cable is the sheild wire that surounds all the coloured wires.
The last two colored copper wires
Step Four. wrap electrical tape around the solderd wires so that they do not touch any of the other contacts.
Step Five. Plug in and play.

I am unaware if this works with all devices as I only have a Raphael to test this on. If anyone does find that their device works with this cable let me know and I will post it with this post.
I think the device must have the TV out function cooked into the Rom or maybe there is a registry hack?

This is awesome. I was just going to buy one to. I think this should def be a sticky.
Thanks for sharing this! I I will try to make one from a 3.5mm adapter.
Thanks man, that's very useful

Let me know how that works cause i was going to do the same.
i found a similar post on ppcgeeks a while back. Took me about 30 min to remove the 4th pin...i used a safety pin- someone at ppcgeeks offered that advice. Works like charm. But f you have no patience, buy it on ebay.

Please note that the mini USB must have contacts on the inside of both the bottom and top. the average mini USB sync cable does not have the necessary contacts.
this is such an awsome mod, im going to try this out. lol
i removed the pin 4 as stated in the picture but the cable is not recognized as a TV Out cable and no longer is recognized as a headser, i made sure i didnt damage any other pins besides the number 4.
another thing is that i only want video i dont care about audio does the TP sense that is conected or can i just solder the two wires required to get video?
excelente post BTW
EDIT:
Does the TV out only outputs certain content or can any content can be shown on the TV
i have a 7" monitor in my car and i wanted to use this monitor to display GARMIN as its bigger screen.
im gonna answer myself
any content can be seen on the TV.
yes it does have to be conected to the TV and the TV has to be ON in order to detect the signal.
also make sure the pin is completlly removed all the way to the bottom.
IT WORKS !!!!!!
thanks one again, excellent post.

sorry, but I am curious on this unanswered question...
Works great! Finally some use for the old, spare headphones and a/v cables I had laying around.
i imagine it would work on all htc devices that support tv out, but that is just a wild guess.
It is work on HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)???

This will work with any mini USB plug that has internal contacts on both the bottom and the top (see Step One.JPG in first post). The colour of the wires may vary but I would imagine that there would be a standard colour code for all earplug cables made by HTC, however these may vary between companies.
Hope this helps.
thanks dude. Could it be done with an ordinary mini usb cable?
I tryed this and it did not work for me so I went to Amozon.com and got the Ipod RCA jack didnt cost much at all. Clean look and dont wast the nice HTC ear plugs but I guess you guys are happy with it but now I need new ear plugs...
I didn't use HTC plugs at all, bought Creative ones + 1 pound adaptor and they are way better than stocks, so yes I'm happy about that mode I've done like.. 10 mins ago?
Had some problems with all operation couse it was quite difficult to find right cables on photo that author attached (of course I really appreciate audible_paradigm work, all that mess was about different colors of my cables).
Anyway, it works veeery good and I'm one step closer to get this phone liked
Ps. You don't have to remove 4 pin in usb cable guys, just install one of the .cabs attached in THIS topic - much easier x]
Big thanks!
