Custom HTC Touch Pro Video Out Cable Howto

Using the pinout from nethopper’s post, I made my own cable using the headset/charging breakout cable provided with my original Sprint Mogul (HTC 6800) pictured here:

So that you may not have to create an account there, here’s the pinout:

After cracking open the breakout cable with a knife, you have access to the pcb with everything on it.  Internally, the headset pins 1 - 6 are actually labeled 6 - 11 on the pcb.  So the pinout for this breakout should be:

You’ll have to desolder the headset connector, and cut the wires from the pcb, but it’s not THAT much work..

Here’s the end result, which surprisingly worked the first time, and I’m terrible with a soldering iron:

Of course, if you don’t care about being able to charge the Touch Pro, you can just use a headset connector and RCA cable.. Just remember that Pins 3 and 5 need to be grounded to tell the Touch that the cable is a video cable and not a headset.
