I am agoing to try usb to 3.5mm to see if it works. I have taken apart a oem htc usb to 2.5 adater and I have pinouts I am finishing this weekend. I tried to find one that was the same that came with mogul on internet cannot closes i could find was a usb to enourmous dongul with two usb and 3.5mm jack. I cannot believe that no company could not of just reproduced the stock one a y cable with one usb and 3.5mm jack so I have to make one.

I beleive that inside the phone, there is some switching going on for the output mode. Maybee shorting pin3 to ground would switch it from stereo output to phone output mode. I don't want to fry my touch though...

Might I also suggest this:

If you use the good Radio Shack adapter, you still have to use the 2.5 adapter (presumably stock), plug in the 3.5, then the head sets/car wire.
That's like 3 cables in the chain, and just one needs a little static in it.

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this: http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=15367 to replace the stock Y adapter and then get a simple (read inexpensive) 3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male stereo cord.

When I wrote this, they didn't have any in stock so I asked them to let me know when they were back in stock. Thay had been selling them on ebay for less, so I checked there after I got notice that they were back in stock. I did a search on ebay for the item and found several others such as here:

I made an offer of $6.00 and got it for that (whatta deal!!!!)

I disassembled the stock adapter and soldered a standard 3.5 mm male jack to it to use with the aux input in my car. No good. There must be some kind of switching going on, as I quoted from the earlier post.
I have insurance so I will try shorting pin 3 to ground (that looks right to me too rstoyguy, someone let me know ASAP if we're wrong!!) and see if that works.
Will post results...

Just an FYI, it's easy to mod the stock headphones. Just cut off earbuds, and solder the three wires (left, right, and ground) to a $1 Radio Shack 3.5mm male plug. Works well.

a lot of decks have bluetooth for talking on the phone, would it be possible to play music from our devices via bluetooth (sorry if this is a stupid question, i havent looked into it much)

I got my E.MiniUSB to 3.5mm adapter from seidio. They have one with or without mic. I use it with my 6800 and it's great

Yes, but that is only a mini usb male to 3.5mm female adapter. Has anyone found a mini usb male to 3.5mm Male cable. I found one at amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Stereo-M...sbs_a_title_27 that has a bend at the usb end that covers up the charge port of the Y adapter cable so you can't charge and listen at the same time; making it practically useless considering how quickly the touch battery discharges when playing music.

<p>I'm currently using the mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter from Amazon and an FM transmitter/craddle for the ipod nano I got from ebay that has a 3.5mm jack. With that I get Garmin XT thru my car speakers. I tried using it as a hands free but it cause feedback and the person on the other line ends up hearing themselves so I just use my bluetooth for calls.</p>

This is the one that I'm currently using:

So far I've had no major issues with it. Some benefits of this one are:
a) it's got a mic too, so I can use regular headphones with a mic (as requested by pocomike)
b) it's much more flexible, so makes it easier to stick in my pocket or move around and whatever (e.g. won't force my plug to stick out of the touch now that it's sideways, and don't have to worry about how it sits in my pocket).

Hope that helps...

That is nice. I'm using this one right now. It's nice but no mic.
