I will post a tutorial now on how to build you own cable and what you will need.

1) HTC Audio 2.5mm/USB Splitter Cable can be found here http://accessoryone.com/htc-utstarco...s-pr-5594.html
these also came with the 6800 and 6900.
2) A standard RCA cable cut in half

Steps to Build your cable

1) Start off by striping back the wires from RCA cable and from the 2.5mm side of the adapter cut off the end you wont need it. DO not cut off the metal shielding from the cable just peel it back.

2) Remove the no.4 pin from the ext-usb end. I will provide a pic to show which pin is no4. This will allow the phone to see the adapter as a video adapter instead of a headset. I used a thumb tack to lift the pin and a small set of tweezers to remove it.

3) Now the fun part. The wires on the 2.5mm adpater are RED,GREEN,BLACK,BLUE,WHITE,YELLOW - You will not need the yellow wire so cut it off.

4) Heres how to build the cable connect.

WHITE - Positive for VIDEO
BLUE - Negative for VIDEO
BLACK - Positive AUDIO Left
GREEN - Positive AUDIO Right
RED - Connect both Negatives for audio to this wire then ground this to the Shielding ( I noticed a little ground noise in the audio if i didnt connect the audio ground to the shielding )

Pics are Below i know it sounds confusing but it really isnt.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!!!

Re: Touch Pro Video Cable - Build Your Own

Hello all,

I secured an extra HTC Pro dongle (someone was selling them on Amazon for about $9, IIRC) and was getting ready to break of pin 4 off of, when I wondered if someone managed to hack the software to "virtually" disable pin 4.

Thankfully, I found someone who did it. I wanted to offer what I found for those who don't want to buy and/or hack a cable for this exclusive purpose.

The software is freely available at
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueTVOut.aspx

It requires a few extra manipulations on the phone to switch it from headset out to TV out, but I prefer that over carrying two dongles.

Just as an aside, I used a regular camcorder cable and had to do the same red-is-video/yellow-is-audio swap when hooking up the cable as other people have with the hardware hack. The output looked great!

Anyhow, I thought someone else might like to try the software route too :)

I will try that if not, could it be program? All you need is 4 -1 adapter, rca cable that go to headphone 3.5 jack and program right?

Re: Touch Pro Video Cable - Build Your Own

yep. there has been several on here that have said they had to move the cables around to get them correct. so that should fix your problem.
