Hi all,
As per subject...
Anyone know if such as cable is available?
I was planning on getting the new 3-1 Adaptor for the TYTN to make use of the 3.5mm jack and charging feature in my car.
The thing is, the cable for this adaptor is very short and cannot be hidden easily when in the car. So, I was thinking of using an extension cable of some sort, so the adaptor could be more easily hidden elsewhere under the centre console.
Many thanks.
USB Stupidity
Hi,
Affraid i didn't find anything either, and wanted to do the same thing.
I resorted to buying the cable from expansis and "Adapting it my self"
The project was fairly simple, and if your happy with a soldering iron and a multimeter you should be fine.
I now have a small connector on my dash that will disapears under the dashboard to a breakout box. All i basicly did was chop off the box that has the two female connectors in it, extend the wire with an old cut up parralel printer cable (multicore and was lying arround) and then terminated in a project box from maplins.
This has two headphone sockets, (audio out stero, and mic in) as well as a USB socket to charge the phone. (the plan was to have the USB socket be usable for data... but that bit went a bit wrong...
Still from the testing i have done, i now have tomtom and WindowsMedia mp3 play back comming through my car stero, and my VarioII reports to be charging. Havn't had a chance to test it on a long drive yet, i think i might still need a beefier 12Volt to USB adapter.
If anyone want more info on what i did, i'd be glad to help.
here are some pics, sorry v bad Q....
I don't seem to see any pics?...
Ooops...
here you go
Seems good to me- as long as it all works ok then its a good job.
Always been interesting in making my own adapters/cables but have never tried. Perhaps I should give it a go!

Any news on that extension cable yet; is it available?
i brought one of these and successfully lengthened it with an old peice of printer cable (only multi core cable i had to hand)
i then used an off the shelf diy project box to hide the junction in.
worked very well, but i have since changed to a bluetooth car kit.
the soldering was a little small and working out which wire was which was a bit of a pain, but all in all only took an hour or so to sort out. probably worth it.
(AFAIK my dad is still using the one i adapted.)
sorry to put old post on top !! but own a dimaond and just buy a touch HD !
i a m looking for this kind of cable !!
If someone have info !!
where to buy for exemple ?
thanks in advance !!
how about extending the power cable? seems like that would be easier.
3in1 11 PIN ExtUSB Earphone Handsfree Adapter for HTC
Other option: http://cgi.ebay.com/3in1-11-PIN-Ext...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3cabfd9d0b
Here's a good one for ya, I need to replace the 11 pin connector on my Hermes, I already have a replacement jack thats the standard 5 pin mini usb, I know it won't be fully functional, i just want the darn thing to charge and i know the standard will do that as well as sync w/ a computer. Now my problem is, theres the 11 pads to solder onto on the board, but i don't know which is what. So, if one of you techies knows the answer, GREAT! if no one knows it, if you could by chance just take a photo at about 45 degree angle looking at the back of the usb jack, that would be AWESOME! I've looked through the wiki and cant find any pics of the angle i need.... Thanks for your help guys!!

yeap i guess one of the DATA either + or - pin is short. Can we check it with Voltmeter instead of opening the whole device?
replacement for the USB connetor
Hello together,
has anyone an idea were to buy the 11pin usb connector which is inside the Hermes?
Greetings Pudl
11 pin socket!
htc do a little adapter that allows charging and a wired headset to be used at once isn't this the answer to all your problems?
1: remove 11 pin socket and solder into your fone! could be the same as the one in your fone!
2: wire it into your stereo and attatch 5 volts to charge it in the car
job done?
i removed the plastic from the plug and fitted it in place of the mini usb plug in my brodit active holder and can charge and use my wired headset at the same time if i need to
i also cut the plastic off a headset and added wires so i could charge and listen at the same time, i removed the headphone speakers and fitted a 3.5mm socket which allows me to plug it into anything with a line in socket. i can even use it as a speakerfone as i fitted the socket after the microphone!!!

Sounds interesting... Do you have pictures of this monster creation???
Can anyone tell me if I can replace the power connector with a mini usb type? The xda2 works well apart from that and want to have a go.
I have a female mini usb connector and time..... not usre about the skils, just need a bit of advice on pinouts/where i should solder.
TIA
Hi folks,
I hope this helps someone out there. I didn't have a USB A female to USB micro A male On-The-Go (OTG) cable, they are rather rare. So I made my own. I have it plugged in right now and both my keyboard and mouse (Logitech K350) communicate to the bluetooth dongle, which is plugged into this cable, and into the Q and working fine.
This is how to make one:
Cut the female USB A female end off a USB extension cord
Cut the male USB micro A end off a USB micro extension cord (the micro A looks squarish, the micro B looks trapezoidal. Both will fit in the Q's receptacle. This should be possible to do with a micro B end too, but I didn't try it.
Solder the wires together, matching color to color. Tape up the wires so they don't touch.
Now you'll notice the "big" USB has four pins and the micro USB has five pins. And you soldered four wires. So what about that fifth pin? Open up the micro A connector. Most of them are fused shut but you can usually slit it on either side with a knife and open it like a clam shell. Find the fifth pin (it'll be the only one not connected to anything). Short that pin to the ground pin using a bit of wire or solder. You can figure out which one is the ground pin either by looking at the wire color (should be black) or consulting a micro USB pinout diagram.
Glue the clamshell back together again.
Plug in your keyboard and/or mouse (dongle or otherwise) and it should work! Does for me! Not only the basic keyboard/mouse functions but also many of the special keys, like the special "play" / "pause" / etc buttons at the top. Esc is back.

Well then...
Hi All,
So I've spend the best part of the weekend trying to find a wiring diagram for the cable for the TF101.. one of my delightful kids pulled on the wire to disconnect it from the adapter, and left the actual usb plug behind - so I now have a cable with 6 wires exposed, and a seperate (and mangled) usb plug.
I've ordered a new cable - but urgently need to charge my TF101 today... does anyone know where I can find a wiring diagram so I can connect the wires direct to a 12v adapter - or know which of the wires in the cable are + and - ?
many thanks in advance
Nick
