DIY TVout cable: clarify (tp2) instructions/help

**kjhadfield** · #1 (**permalink**) 10-19-2009, 05:46 PM

so for the last week i been reading about the DIY tvout cable found across xda forum and touch pro threads. i found about 4 different ways using all different parts. i picked the best 1 for me w/ the parts i have.

(and YES i own a $350+ tp2 and am 2 POOR 2 buy the oem cable found 4 $20-25) times are rough, give me a break.

way1:this is the 1 i used uses your ear plugs w/ the extusb & rca cable

way2:this way would be ideal, but read it wont work on tp2!?? uses touch pro dongle & ipod 3.5mm av cable + reg. hack

way3:another 1

way4:and another

so i followed way1 to the letter and it still didnt work for me. i know the cable isnt being reconized by headset b/c when i plug it in, the headset icon in taskbar doesnt appear (pulled pin4) but it isnt being reconized by video either. i go to setting/tv out and a window pops up saying you need tv out cable. can any1 help me problem solve this?

the best way, i think (BESIDES BUY OEM), is to use ipod av to 3.5mm + reg. hack. can any1 report if this worked 4 u? or if any1 can find a solution to make this work for the tp2?

thanks for any help in advanced

I did "way 2" although you dont need to do any registry hacks. All I did is pull pin 4 from diamond adapter and plugged in my Zune 3.5mm to RCA cable and it worked.

the adapter your talking about is it the multi- 3.5, 2.5, usb/charge? can you tell me after you pulled pin4 and you plug it in, does the tv out pop up as soon as its plug in or do you have to manually go into settings an open the tv out?

i will try that out once i can find a 3.5 to rca cable, thanks

The adapter itself will not activate the TVOut until you plug in the 3.5mm to RCA cable.
