I'm looking to build a connector for my XDA for the following simultaneous purposes:
1. Connect To a USB connector for HotSync with a Computer
2. Charge the XDA
3. Connect to my car stereo's aux input / a mic (homemade car kit )
I'm not looking for anyone to build it or anything, I just want to know what pins to connect to what, the connector tutorial confused me a bit (haven't had all my classes yet...:O)
Thanks for any help!
The starting point would be a usb syn/charger cable and a lighter plug adaptor, you then have the basics of what you need.
And the best place to get a sync / charge cable would be...? Is the one on t-mobile's website the one I need or am I going to have to build one? Thanks for your help
Ebay is cheapest.

ive got a passive Brodit, and a extusb splitter and want to wire in a charger. Can i use my sync cable, chop the usb plug and wire it into the 12v from my radio? Asuuming not to be honest, it must need a transformer to step it down to 5v? Anyone know where i can find a pinout diagram of the sync cable supplied with the Kaiser?
buy a car invertor from aldi £14 they come with 240v step down and usb..sorted .no chopping or soldering needed.also runs your laptop ect...
I can't seem to locate the thread I saw a while back regarding someone wanting an extension cable for the T.V. out USB dongle for a Fuze.
I also wanted to port into my car's radio (touchscreen w/audio & video in/out jacks) and also supply power without having a tangle of wires. The t.v. dongle has a power-in jack on the side but that would result in a mess and I, apparently not alone, was looking for an 11 pin miniUSB extension cable. Seems nobody can find such an animal. However, during a trip to WalMart I found a car charger adaptor for Motorola phones with a 90 degree plug and a coiled cord. Not quite as neat as an extension would have been but with the jack arranged to point down the side of the dongle, the coiled portion can wrap around the dongle's cable. $15 and the search was over.

I was probably the one looking for the cable. I have my Fuze in a cradle in my car and I have the HTC A/V cable plugged into the bottom of the cradle so when I slide my fuze into it, I get connection to my Avic-D3 and I can see whatever the fuze sees on the Avic screen. However, in order to keep the phone charged, I have to plug in another cable into the jack on the little junction box and now I have 2 cables and an ugly box hanging below my phone.
I have searched high and low for an 11 pin mini USB extension cable to no avail and the 2 different styles of A/V cables for the phone either have the junction box 2-3 inches from the end where it plugs into the phone (which is what I have now) or if the junction is at the other end of the cable by the RCA plugs, it lacks the charging port! HOW F$#@$%ing dumb are these engineers??? All I want to do is hide the mess behind the dash and have just ONE SINGLE CABLE running up to the phone cradle.
If anyone has any ideas before I start cutting and soldering, please let me know!
Thanks for such a GREAT site here and hopefully someone will come up with a solution besides cut and burn!
Good day to all!

Hi all
Any reason why an after market car usb adapter isnt able to recharge the streak?
Or it there one that can ?
It's because it isn't putting out enough power. I read a post about this a while ago, but forgot which forum, basically to get it to put out enough power you're gonna need to connect the two middle pins on the adapter. If it's easy to open then do that and solder the two middle pins and you should be good to go. I have a belkin one that I had to do this to
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Hi ipguy,
Think fone_fanatic was refering to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719815
Like he said, you need to solder the two middle pins on the USB connector so the phone can register it as a power source, but you have to make sure that the adaptor outputs 1000mA, most adaptors only output 500mA and won't work with the Streak, think someone said that they could overheat/malfunction if tried.
I had the same concern... And I'm not willing to try soldering anything I just ordered the accessories from dell.com I should get it by next week.
Does anyone know of a cable to do both charge and output audio to 3.5mm (AUX) using just a single USB connection? Trying to regain the ease of use of the dock connector on my old iPhone.
I found a Motorola cable that appears to be the right thing, but likely wouldn't be compatible with the Nexus 4:

If you're wondering if it's possible to use a Micro-USB extension cable with a Slimport adapter the answer is yes! I have successfully used one to connect my Nexus 4 to a Slimport SP1002 adapter, then connect that via HDMI to my Pioneer SPH-DA100 car stereo.The bulky adapter with its myriad of connections and super short cable to connect to my phone is now hidden under the center console.
I can't post links yet, to find the cable I used Google "angledcables" micro-b usb extension
Just curious, why do you use MyDP to connect to your car's headunit? movies for the kids? GPS?

GPS, and as a workaround for the poor audio output of the Nexus 4. Although the ability to watch Netflix while waiting in the car is nice, too.

hmmm... this didnt work for me with
Black 3 Foot USB 2.0 USB Micro B Male 5 Pin to USB Micro B Female 5 Pin Cable
by YCS basics
from amazon
but I'll order the other one and try it because it would be so much better if i could extend the slimport rather than hang that whole thing from my phone
it works!!!!!!
The cable from amazon did not work but the cable from angledcables.com worked! Even though the envelope says usbfirewire.com, they have different models of micro usb cables
I got the 12 inch version of :
Item #: RR-MCB-EXT-XXG5
and i can CONFIRM it is WORKING for AppRadio 3 as an extension between the phone and Slimport adapter.
I suppose it's a hit or miss depending on if the company wired the 4th pin through (Which is usually used for OTG) or not. Slimport uses all 5 pins.

After a few days I had to disconnect the extension because it makes things way too unstable. The slightest bump stops the video signal. You have to totally remove it and plug it back in before it works again. I might try a few things to fasten the connectors together but I might just go without it.

Sorry to revive an old thread. Did you get this sorted out?
I'm in same situation. I just got Pioneer AVH-x8500BHS and SlimPort adapter to mirror from my N5 to the x8500 HU.
But the Slimport is in my glovebox, I want to move it to my center console for easier access and better GPS signal.
I'm afraid all this plugging/unplugging of the SlimPort will eventually wear out the cable or the N5 port.
Anyone ever figure out a way to get the extension to work without it cutting in and out all the time?
