I bought one of these on Ebay.
We will see how well it works when it arrives.

it looks like they just cut the blue wire inside the accessory.

Looks like a makeshift TV Out cable!

Well, let us know if you have any issues with it.

Wow! You could have done it yourself per instructions on this forum, for $5 worth of ingredients at most, and 5 minutes of your time. It's amazing that people try to profit off these instructions - and more amazing that people would announce that they purchased this item.

I literally bought a 3.5mm adapter from ebay for $4, a camcorder cable for $1 from a dollar store - broke pin 4 on the adapter, and made that cable that someone's so proudly selling for $26 shipped.

What's wrong with buying something from the dollar store... Sure as hell beats paying $15 for the same product elsewhere.

Damn, I guess you're going to be trendy, cool, and flash your expensive video cable that works exactly the same price for a whopping $26 shipped! Please, feel free to leave the price tags on all your future products so people can see how ignorant and wasteful you are.

It's so disappointing that I actually learned something while making 2 cables 2 different ways, and actually kept that money in my pocket. . . sigh.

I can guarantee it's not the same product that's why it's so cheap. Also to be critical of others the way he did is rude, Not everyone has the tools or knowledge to be as informed as some. But sorry to say i wont be buying my wire from the dollar store anytime soon !

No actually there are other means of transferring video there turbo, Why buy a cable or even have to build a tweaker looking one. so while you call me wasteful maybe you should look in the mirror.

Hey Genius - the discussion is about a Touch Pro Video Cable, you know, like the title of the thread? So if you want to talk other options to transfer video, I suggest you try another thread (that's how a forum works). That said, I can probably guess at your IQ if you still think where you bought something or how much you paid for it is a status symbol.

Then again, I see you've only posted 8 times on this forum - and the majority are on this thread. Any chance that's your ebay auction?
