Hack mini-usb Dock/Cradle to use ExtUSB?

shark1987 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-25-2009, 04:57 PM

So I just bought a docking cradle from Amazon and I realized after I bought it that it would be cool to be able to connect it to my TV but it doesn't have the ExtUSB connectors, they're just regular mini-usb, therefore no video-out.

So I got on google and found tons of male connectors like this one.

Now I'm trying to find a Female adapter that I can replace the one on the back with. Does anyone know where I could find one?

I haven't recieved the dock yet so I don't know how hard it is going to be to pry it open and see the insides but I'm guessing not that bad.

Thanks for any help!

good luck.. why don't you just wire rca jacks or 3.5mm for the output.
post pics when done too.

well I've never really done anything quite like this, and I'm not sure there would be enough room in the case for that. But maybe.

I would break down the audio connector from you phone and use it myself, just my 2 cents.

wow, thanks lol, I'll just rip both sides out of one of those, lol. Then I won't need to buy anything, can't believe I didn't think of that.

And I'll definitely post pics if it works out.
