Does the MDA output audio through the USB port?

Hey guys, I am trying to make a connection for my car and was wondering if the MDA outputs audio through the USB port. If it does could someone show me a diagram of which pins it is on a normal sized port assuming using the standard full size USB port to the mini USB cable. Could someone also show me which pins are the power input pins as well and will it take a source that outputs 5V DC at 1A. Thanks guys.

Try BlueTooth. Also, there is an HTC manual in the FTP folders, check it out.

I currently have the supplies to do it the normal wired way thats why I prefer it that way. Bluetooth would be nice though.

i dont think the usb outputs sound, which is why there is a headphone jack...

Thanks. sorry i thought i remembered someone saying that there was a headset that plugged into the usb port so i assumed that it might have output sound from the usb port if this were true. Can someone tell me which pins are the ones that supplies power?

miniUSB connector?

Hey ppl
I've just broke my bottom connector for the second time - by using a car plug. This connector is so weak...
I thought of resoldering it with a miniUSB connector, has anyone tried it? It would be better IMHO.

wallaby and himalaya share connector as i'm using my wallaby cradle
so guess if you wire it to a miniusb it would work just fine too

Thanks, good man
I've also found this article in Wiki

OK, as for now I have resoldered my connector (again...). But - one pin is lost. D+. So, I can charge it, but not synchronize
So, I have to either find a new connector, or mount this miniUSB connector.

You have bad cable, some cables are made non standard on purpose. They have shorter pins or something so you cannot use them for any other device.

but the plug is not the same
My HTC HD has a diffrent shape miniUSB jack on the bottom.
How can I use a standart miniUSB cable?
Do you have the same miniUSB shape?

"USB" connector

I have previously made up very short charging leads to use with earlier PDAs and my Arkon car mount. Having just got the Touch HD I was dismayed to see the "non-standard" USB connector. I cannot find a supplier of plugs to fit these anywhere. There are plenty of cheap car chargers around claiming to fit Touch HD, but I wonder if they do? Do they expect me to use the cable that came with the HD? I don't want to hack that one around. So any ideas? Can I buy a cheap sync cable and modify that? Can I get the plugs I need?

I thought the same thing but it turns out the normal usb plugs fit the HD.

You can just use a normal mini-usb male connector, it fits the same way as in a normal female usb-connector, at least for charging and mounting the phone as harddisk on a pc it works. i think even acticesync should work, 'cause its a normal usb-connection it uses.
greetings
Seth

Well, even activsync will work, at least it work on my HD, you can even flash your HD trough normal USB cable. Check - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneFAQ.

Wonderful! Many thanks everyone. I already have a car and mains charger with normal mini-usb connectors. Problem solved
I wonder why they made the connector like that?

I suspect they were considering some proprietary nonsense at some point

How many pins does your USB cable have?

Hi everyone, yesterday I noticed that the USB cable that was provided with my N4 only have 4 pins total.
So let's say you are looking at the USB port, it would have 1-2-3-4-5 pins. Mine would be missing the 4th pin.
So my question is, did I receive a bad cable or is it suppose to be like that?
