Touch Pro Video Cable - Build Your Own

[kaeslumz]

yeah thx for this thread...saved some money!

[munnarg]

Just made mine and I'll be damned it works lol. I gave up trying to get that damn pin#4 out and just shoved it all the way in to the bottom. Not that impressed with the resolution on my HDTV, but I guess that is to be expected.

Anybody get this working for Verizon yet? EDIT: Yes, It works fine on Verizon!!! Exiled: Stop making fun of my phone lol.

Did a quick registry search and found only a few keys that reference "tvout"
HKLM\Software\HTC\H2W
TVOutCableIn=0



EDIT: Nevermind it worked!!! You have to connect the Video, and both audio in order for the phone to recognize the TVOUT....

I was able to remove pin#4 from my 6800/mogul wire but when I plug it into my VZ TP, I dont get the "VIDEO OUT- NTSC/PAL" popup.

Also, under Settings >> Connections, there is no TV-Output option.

Did a quick registry search and found only a few keys that reference "tvout"
HKLM\Software\HTC\H2W
TVOutCableIn=0

When I set this value to 1 manually, right away the VIDEO-OUT menu pops up and asks to choose NTSC/PAL, video is then output to the TV just fine.

Another registry key... not sure what this does:

HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOut\
FunctionEnable=0 (I tried changing to 1 but no difference)

So you answered your own question.... Maybe you should edit the first part and take out your question lol

Crack open, snip tiny blue wire, and enjoy. Didnt have an av to 3.5mm, surprizingly the Dollar store had some though, but they werent a dollar!!!
$2.99. but chea, picture quality is a 8 1/4 outta 10, mos def worth 3 bucks. had to turn the 3.5mm jack a few times before the video out screen came up, so jus make sure its tight. Ill probably invest inna better a/v to jack cable later to see if that makes the quality a lil better. Good lookin out brah.

i got some ipod video cables for like 15 bucks at a discount store (bestbuy and radioshack wanted 50 dollars for 5 or 6' of stereo 1/8th cables), and these were the exact same ones so i was like yeah why not... it works great. just fixed core player with the blue crap.

no where locally had the cables that I could find/use cheap - so Im having a set sent in from Hong Kong.. $5 shipped.

Thanks for the tip - I actually bought the video-out cable from expansys (they finally came in - a month later) - but the cable is so big - and the primary reason I wanted it was to use with the myvu crystal display glasses.

Cutting pin4 on the included adapter did the trick - and it works *really* well - pictures below. The cover snaps right back on (it's off in the picture..) - the 1/8" --> 1/8" cable comes w/ the myvu.
