Anyone know what wires from the USB would I solder to make my own adapter?
I don't have a CC at the moment and can't order overseas. Which of the 4 wires would I solder to the audio plug, which I have?
Has anyone used these with AKG 240's?
thanks in advance!
kaiser don't have a mini usb connector
it have an extUSB which is a mini usb connector
together with analog sound pins on the other side
of the connector
you can buy extusb converters for a few coins
however one can't make an miniUSB headset at all
unless the headset contain an usb soundcard and the
device support usbHost which kaiser don't
just get a dirt cheap conveter
but if you must do it youself then here are the pinouts

I have a spare adaptor. can list via feeBay so you could purchase from your own country.
Would be cheap (just enough to cover costs)
Just a thought, if of any use to you pm me.

On pics the mini usb connector seems diferent like other PDA's like Prohet or Universal (square on one side). This would be not compatible with old light car charge... It is?
Thanks.
I'm still using my old cable from my Wizard to charge at work. The socket itself seems a slightly different shape but supports the regular cables.
The connector is a little bit wider on one side so that one can plug-in the proprietory head-set connector. Any mini-USB connector should fit in, but the head-set will not fit into a standard mini-USB plug...

Headset? hummm not hava tipical jack or minijack for headset?
Another problem to resist to buy! Actually I have a Prophet with 4GB SD and only 0,5 free... jejejeje Add no minijack for my car conection...
I cannot understand why not similar connections and peripherics on similar products :roll:
The mini USB AC adapter and cigarette lighter chargfer from my wife's RAZR both work fine on my Cingular 8525.
Has anyone ever tried splicing the HTC TyTN Y Cable Version: 11pin to 5pin + 6pin to a regular 5pin USB cable.

Huh? It already allows you to plug in a 5 pin USB cable into the power side (5 pin). What are you trying to do?

I would guess power in and audio out at the same time
I am using my phone in my car and don't want the power cable and music cable hanging down in front of my dash. What I want to do is run a USB cable out of my phone, drill a small hole and have the HTC TyTN Y Cable and everything else hidden.
Ooops when I said drill a small hole I am drilling it in my dash. I am just trying to extend the HTC TyTN Y Cable and unfortunately that is a different style connect on the end so there are no cables out there with a female end. So I figured I would splice it.
So can this be done?
If you want to split audio/power, you CAN NOT USE an USB cable.
See the difference between AUDIO jack (hearphones) & USB Jack.
also, the jack of the earphones is good, but it hasn't connected the power cables to the pins. i hope if you cut the cable, you will find only audio/mic cables.
so, or you buy a TyTn Y Cable and cut/extend it; or you have a male connector like that on earphones, and do with it all that you want.
::::::::::::::::::::.
OOps... i've understood now the very question.... :emb :emb
an user has dismantled it... HERE
What I want to do is leave the headphone and power intact and cut the male end off(the end that plugs into the phone) then take a regular USB 5pin cord and splice it onto that. Does that make more sense.

If you just want to extend it, buy the 3 way adapter from Brando and mod that one. What we're trying to tell you is that there are 11 wires in that harness, so if you want to extend the cord, all you'll need to do it splice a new set of extension wires in (multiple USB cables?). If you can solder, that's no big deal. I have mine mounted in a Brodit powered cradle with audio going into my car stereo, and the y cable is tucked behind the cradle and the wires hidden into my dash.
How many wires are in the Brando? Is it pretty easy to splice? Sorry if I am asking a stupid question.

I haven't taken mine apart, but I assume it still has 11 wires (one for each pin). The reason I was suggesting this is because if you want to have a 3.5mm audio out, you either have to buy an HTC-specific USB to 3.5mm audio adapter for $12-$15, or you can buy the Brando unit which includes everything for ~$20 (and if you screw it up, you're only out the $20).
Splicing wires isn't difficult, but if you're not handy with a soldering iron it might be. These a pretty small wires (30 gauge?). Practice on an old USB cable first.
I already have the 3.5mm headphone jack and the power connected. My only problem is the end that plugs into the phone. Instead of making a standard mini USB HTC changed it so it is a different shape. I guess I figured I could just cut off that end and it would be same as any USB cable. I didn't want to go into the jack itself where the headphone and power is.

They changed the jack because it won't work in a USB plug - it has 11 pins (5 for USB power/sync and 6 for audio). You can extend it either way, but it takes 11 wires to extend it. I have a similar setup in my car, so I understand where you're coming from, but aside from extending the cable I've not seen a better solution...
What a pain. What really stinks is I only need to go about 8 inches.
I drive a prius with an AUX adapter (accepts a minjack) does anyone know of a cable that is a mini USB to mini jack?
Thanks!
you need a male USB to female 3.5mm adapter. Often, they come as male USB to both female 3.5mm and female USB. Many, many sites have them. Search for "USB audio splitter" or somthing like that.
Once you have one of those, you need a standard male 3.5mm to male 3.5mm headphone cable.
I have never seen a male USB to male 3.5mm cable.
Also, indicating which country you are in when asking where to buy something often helps, this is an international forum
Be aware that not all mini USB accessories work with the Kaiser. Some have the connector pins on the top, some on the bottom. You think that would be universal (thats what the "U" in USB stand for, you know!), but its not. And if you buy an accesory w. the wrong pin layout, it won't work.
I have read this is the case with some headsets, so the adapters may be the same case. Try to buy one that specifically says that it works with the Kaiser (or at least other HTC phones).

Sorry...I'm in the US.
Hey Griffin911, from one Prius driver to another.
Try http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=776
Then you will just need a male to male 3.5 mm adapter which you should be able to find at any Radio Shack. I am using this Seidio adapter with a set of Shure earbuds with my Kaiser and it works fine.
I haven't tried it on the Pruis's aux port yet, I travel through the week and haven't had as much time to play with it as I'd like. I'll do it when I get home Friday and post to this thread to let you know how it works.
I have paired the phone with the car via Bluetooth and transferred contacts fine (although transferring contacts is one at a time) and calls work fine as well.
I tried the Seidio adapter with the M to M 3.5 mm to the Aux jack on the Prius and it worked fine. I also ran the Odyssey nav software while playing MP3's through TCPMP and that worked fine. Only problem was the volume on the nav software was too loud when TCPMP was at the right volume, the volume controls don't work independently.
Didn't especially care for the Odyssey software (running the 14 day trial right now) the one route I mapped gave me a really weird route. I'll try the rest of the weekend and see how it works, but it's also not extremely intuituve from what I've seen so far.

It's not universal because ExtUSB is a proprietary extension to the USB standard.
Anything involving analog audio is NOT covered by the USB standard.
I just bought the HTC 3-in-1 adaptor from ShopBrando HK. I am using it in the car with the Brodit holder to have both charger and 3.5 mm for the car stereo aux input. I am modifying the holder (removing the charger pin for the adaptor 11 pin).
The problem is that the adaptor's wire is too short. I want to hide the adaptor somewhere in the car and a longer wire is needed.
I am thinkng about
a) Use and extension wire ( if there is any) Is there an extension cable (male to female -11 pin usb) ???
b) Cut and extend the lenght of the wire.
What is the wire used?? If I cut the wire to extent it, what kind of wire should i ask for?
Thank you
This is exactly the same problem I am facing. Can't find a ExtUSB Male to Female extension. But I would be up for trying to extend the cable if I could buy some. Hopefully someone will answer.

Just clip off 1/2 inch and take the sample with you to the store to show the sales people. At the same time, you should get the proper connecters to splice the wires together.
Does anyone really need to extend all 11 pins for both audio and power, or just power, or just audio?
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...
