Hey Dodzas !!!!
I surfed the page and I have found that the Cable is working well also with the O2 XDA (so with the Polaris too as I think "My phone").
for you I think it will work well, that it converts the HTC cable to a normal cable and your DVD doesn't need any more than a normal cable with 2 Video, 1 Audio ....
try it (It is not expensive) .....
really I'm happy to find such a cable!!! =))
And unless in cruise is video-out?
Sorry my English.
And a cable mini USB - aux?
Hi guys , i have Polaris (HTC Touch Cruise) ,,is it really working the A/V cable ?
do i need additional software to enable this feature on my device...
any specific details or website will be thankful
does this cable work???? i've asked before about video out from the device but no-one's got a definite answer. has anyone tried and accomplished a/v out of touch cruise???
Looks amazing... does it work? Please we need some feedbacks...

Hi all,
As per subject...
Anyone know if such as cable is available?
I was planning on getting the new 3-1 Adaptor for the TYTN to make use of the 3.5mm jack and charging feature in my car.
The thing is, the cable for this adaptor is very short and cannot be hidden easily when in the car. So, I was thinking of using an extension cable of some sort, so the adaptor could be more easily hidden elsewhere under the centre console.
Many thanks.
USB Stupidity
Hi,
Affraid i didn't find anything either, and wanted to do the same thing.
I resorted to buying the cable from expansis and "Adapting it my self"
The project was fairly simple, and if your happy with a soldering iron and a multimeter you should be fine.
I now have a small connector on my dash that will disapears under the dashboard to a breakout box. All i basicly did was chop off the box that has the two female connectors in it, extend the wire with an old cut up parralel printer cable (multicore and was lying arround) and then terminated in a project box from maplins.
This has two headphone sockets, (audio out stero, and mic in) as well as a USB socket to charge the phone. (the plan was to have the USB socket be usable for data... but that bit went a bit wrong...
Still from the testing i have done, i now have tomtom and WindowsMedia mp3 play back comming through my car stero, and my VarioII reports to be charging. Havn't had a chance to test it on a long drive yet, i think i might still need a beefier 12Volt to USB adapter.
If anyone want more info on what i did, i'd be glad to help.
here are some pics, sorry v bad Q....
I don't seem to see any pics?...
Ooops...
here you go
Seems good to me- as long as it all works ok then its a good job.
Always been interesting in making my own adapters/cables but have never tried. Perhaps I should give it a go!

Any news on that extension cable yet; is it available?
i brought one of these and successfully lengthened it with an old peice of printer cable (only multi core cable i had to hand)
i then used an off the shelf diy project box to hide the junction in.
worked very well, but i have since changed to a bluetooth car kit.
the soldering was a little small and working out which wire was which was a bit of a pain, but all in all only took an hour or so to sort out. probably worth it.
(AFAIK my dad is still using the one i adapted.)
sorry to put old post on top !! but own a dimaond and just buy a touch HD !
i a m looking for this kind of cable !!
If someone have info !!
where to buy for exemple ?
thanks in advance !!
how about extending the power cable? seems like that would be easier.

they only accept payment via bank xfer,but it's better than nothing. anyone else know any other sellers?
Does anyone have the pinout of the non-standard Startrk USB connector?
any other place to get one besides that german site? somewhere we can purchase online please. thanks
The adaptor looks like just what I need. I almost ordered a couple from the liked site, but it all became too hard. My German is just not that good. I have searched all the usual places but cannot find this adaptor anywhere else. Please, if anyone else knows where ti can be sourced (preferebly with payment via credit card) let us all know.

i've tried to search all over internet and found nothing. the only ones available are the HTC made Y cable adaptor which is pretty much overpriced and useless because i want a mini usb+3.5mm jack. even just a mini usb adaptor will do (original HTC made mini usb adaptor available, then again, overpriced). where can i find something like that? any idea guys?
yep, i've searched pretty much the whole internet

! and there's nothing. grr. if it wasn't such a ballache i'd get a spare standard cable and cut it up to solder on a mini usb socket. pinouts can't be that hard - although i'm not sure where i'd get an inline mini usb socket from.
I've bought this one for 3.5 mm jack...works great:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/stereo-headphone-adapter-for-htc-startrek-platform-p-421.html
I've paid with credit card (click on paypal....don't need a paypal account), received it within a week (all the way to Europe....;-).
headphone only though
...no mini USB charge point. thanks though.
ric
yeah, we need something that has standard mini usb
I found a site on how to DIY usb t0 3.5mm jack for audio
http://www.andrewgrant.org/2007/08/24/making-a-35mm-headphone-adapter-for-the-cingular-3125.html
i did some modify of my own . i use sony ericsson headset instead of the one from electronic store because sony ericsson unit have mic and button to answer call. and SMALLER = LOOK BETTER
just open up the sony ericsson mic unit and there is all the wiring label print on the small little circuit board. just follow the tutorial for the wiring code and solder into it.
work great but no volume control , have to control from the phone

Maybe a little bit complicated...but let me suggest...
Take a Female mini usb from an old device (for example). Connect/sold/attach it to a Female standard usb (not all wires needed). Use startreck usb cable to charge
so close its exact
micro usb is the 3125 adapter type
Is this the same connector?

I thought the Qtek 8500 12 pin connector was unique to that handset. Have you just searched for "micro usb adaptor" or do you know something we don't?
If this would work I'd be very happy but I don't think it will.

"A regular micro-USB port would have been better than the proprietary HTC port, but we understand its necessity for the slim shape the phone has"
buy it and try it
quote "A regular micro-USB port would have been better than the proprietary HTC port"
The port on the 3125 is micro usb, the port on say a 8525 or 8125 is Mini usb
I am not saying the adapter will work, only that it is a micro to mini adapter and it should work.
Friend: The standard mini usb cable (most popular) can be used in extUSB on D2 (Topaz) : Charging is OK and Sync is OK.
Note: I discover It after buy a 2nd cable
Well, I have so many 'standard' USB to mini USB cables I have never even taken the HTC item out of it's box.
However, the pin out on the mini port of the TD2 does allow for other things other than just sync and charge and then a specificaly wired cable would be required.
Common Mini usb works for other stuff too.
Where i live i have no high speed internet so i use my HTC pure as my internet source. Recently (after 3 weeks of use) my data cable began to come apart...
fearing i would have to buy something i couldnt afford and being mad that i have like 50 mini usb cords that i thought were useless, i found this thread and decided to test other features of the standard cable. So far I have found nothing that the cord cannot do.
my 2 cents.

Question: are you then using the HTC as a modem? If so, have you ever tried using it as a modem via Bluetooth? I have never managed this and nobody in the General forum has any advice. I can only use it via usb.
No I havent sorry. My laptop don't have bluetooth so the option never presented itself. perhaps searching for bluetooth internet sharing or making a post would be more helpful.. sorry.
On the TD2 you first need to pair your phone to your PC with Bluetooth
And then there's a program called 'Internet Sharing' on my TD2 menu, you just need to pair your phone and change what the internet sharing is going to (BT in this case) and away you go.
I've heard some carriers disable this and make you pay a surcharge for tethering, which I've heard you can get round with a registry hack
(i can't post links but I did google Touch Diamond 2 Bluetooth Internet Sharing)
Another quick and easy way to do it wirelessly is to use a program like WalkingHotSpot, which converts your TD2 into a WiFi hotspot which is my preferred method if i had to go down this path
Good luck!
The additional contacts in the original connector are for the headphones. Not used in USB & Charging.
e.g. the original car charger comes with a default USB/minUSB cable, not th especial connector as added to the TD2.

That is true. I have been searching for a TD2 car charger with its specially profiled connector but could not find one. I am afraid that the standard mini USB connector will damaged the TD2 connector after prolonged use just like what had happened to my 838Pro. You need a little help with the wires and connector when charging or ActiveSync to get them connected.
Whoa this thread is a life saver. I'm in the middle of nowhere and lost my cable so couldn't charge my phone was looking for somewhere to order online it would have cost me at least 2 weeks.
Now i'm using my camera's standard usb cable.
Thank You.
I have all the normal!
Wow, I was kind of shocked, when I tried it - it worked!!! I have bought already 2 special htc oem cables - 1st one was already broken, and have never tried the original mini usb cable since now. It works perfectly too But I suppose if the mini usb cable is used, you have to be more careful for the connector, because there is some free space inside.
i'm using oem hp camera's cable. working fine on my diamond2
Thanks friends.
Hello,
on htc hero, we have an adapter cable for video output?
Because I want to buy a TFT touch screen in my car is connect my htc hero on the touch screen is used in my car.
Thank you
Sorry, I don't think that is possible. As far as I am aware, the only output you can get from the device's USB port (other than USB and charging input of course) is audio output and possible (not sure) microphone in.
I am not aware of any video-out capabilities, and certainly have not heard of touchscreen input to allow another screen to be used. Unfortunately I don't think this is possible.
thx reply anon2122 ...
no luck for me
I saw discussion of this on the Dream forum.
It sounded like it was possible, but would require opening up your phone, and soldering new connections onto the MiniUSB socket.
I think no-one tried it
when a tester?
I'm leaving ...
but I need the schema.
I have heard something about Video long while back. But can't find that info again. I too am interested.
here is the pinout for the Hero's funky usb port: hxxp://pinouts.ru/PDA/htc_extUSB_pinout.shtml
still no solution in sight?
According to the pinout, there is no capability for video out through the port. There's
1 USB VCC +5v
2 USB Data -
3 USB Data +
4 N / C
5 USB GND
6 Left Audio +
7 Sense
8 Audio - (GND)
9 Switch (Talk)
10 Right Audio +
11 Mic +
12 Chassis Ground (GND)
but no mention of video. Any video mod would involve hacking the inside of the phone, replacing the screen connector to a new, compatible screen, dealing with touchscreen issues and resolution (latter easy to sort by a new ROM).
So, no, and I don't think there will be one for a long time (if ever)
Anyone figured a way to use the gtab with a projector without the dock? trying to have as few gizmos as possible to take on the road with me.
If you want HDMI output without the dock you would need a custom cable from the g-tablet's docking port to HDMI and as far as I know, no such cable exists at this time. You can search these forums for "HDMI cable" and find a couple of threads on the subject.
I understand the desire to travel light but the dock really isn't that big or heavy.

Well my dock isn't exactly light but it is required to provide power to the HDMi output. I did purchase a HDMI to DVI converter for my projector and it works like a champ projecting from the gtab to the projector. Now if my mouse would work I could (almost) ditch the laptop. I have also found that most of the PowerPoint viewers don't 100% convert my PowerPoint slide decks to view on the gtab. It is typically some pictures on the slides that don't convert. I have roughly 16 slides out of 125 slides that don't project properly (can't remember off hand which program does the best job, but that is my best effort). I haven't had time to convert all of those slides although I had to teach one of my training classes today so had to lug the laptop along. Ideally a mouse or wireless remote to advance the slides would create a smaller travel kit. Good luck with the presentation. The dock while heavy, weighs as much as my Dell power brick so that at least is a trade off.
Hey guys...
this is a big question for me also...but I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to do video OUT of the USB port for powerpoint? Since most PPT is just static there shouldn't be a huge issue with BW (Even so, I've got a USB to VGA adapter for my laptop, so USB definently has the BW to pull it off. )
wonder if there's a simple USB to VGA adapter out there somewhere. I'll do some digging....
it's not that the docking station is heavy or anything, it's just bulky in a briefcase. I travel international all the time and want to leave as much crap at home.
Oh, and if anyone comes up with a good ppt editor / viewer lemme know.

Funny you asked about a USB to VGA adapter. I'm not sure if its video out or in??? The description says you can use it for dual monitor expandability which leads me to believe its a video in cable. Anyways, someone posted a couple days ago at another forum that he found that adapter. Its expensive though. Here's the link he posted...
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page...nic+gTablet&tabletcategory=Cables&skuno=90129
That one is pricey
There are lots of those USB to VGA adapter gizmos.. but I have hesitated to buy one because I wasn't sure there was the right software available.. presumably you need at least a generic USB screen driver..
Anyone tried one of these with the gtab?
http://www.google.com/search?q=usb+...06&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=a40f3cd63ecc4954
Your best bet would be to use a DisplayLink based adapter. These allow dvi or vga based displays to be connected via usb. They have also released linux drivers. It even seems as though they were able ouput video to such displays through an app called "Send to Framebuffer". I actually have a displaylink dock, so maybe I'll play around with it after class today. Check out the following link and scroll down to "External Displays".

I actually have some emails into Fommy and the mfg. of the device. Although on the Fommy site it list the G-Tablet and NI Adam, I have yet to find any information from the mfg that this device will work with Android.
It is a video out device.
