i found that with a cab, the audio dongle, and an ipod/camcorder cable you can connect your device to an external monitor. Its been said to work with the touch pro and the Fuze, but for some reason I only get audio when i plug the correct cables in and run the cab....any suggestions...i have an ipod video cable and an camcrder video cable

since the manufacturer did not have to abide by any iso standards for this proprietary tvout, they can cross the a/v cables any way they wish. It just turns out they went the Apple way, and so the iphone's 3.5mm av cable will work perfectly ($4-5 on amazon).
alternately, if you have the standard 3.5mm camcorder cable, you'll have to switch the colors of the rca plug order, works just fine on the Fuze. Plug in Red to Yellow input, the Yellow to the White input, the White to the Red input. From this Fuze post:

dont buy an ipod cable if you have a regular camcorder cable it will also work! then u can have Tv out for $0.
only thing you have to do is use the adapter that came with the Fuze plug in the cable to it and then instead of pluging in the Yellow to the Yellow and so on, you plug in Red to Yellow input, the Yellow to the White input, the White to the Red input.
=) tada.
also don't forget to download the EnableTvout.cab
you will need it.
Let me know if this works for anyone elso, it def. worked for me

Not able to...
I have a zune av cable that is identical to the ipod ones and it will not output video on my TP2 but it will do audio. i tried switching around the cables to see if it was outputing on the wrong color but it isnt. i downloaded the cab and from the programs it seems to be working but in reality it isnt doing anything other than audio. Any ideas on how to fix this other than getting the real htc cable?
same problem
i have an Ipod video out cable, and all i get is audio, even when i switch the wires around....heres the cable I have http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...cable&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1134703394661

Your Doing it WRONG!!
Please Explain
please explain to me what it is that I am doing wrong
are you using the Ext-USB converter? and plugging the 3.5mm AV cable to it?
sure am...im using the audio dongle thing that came with it and the cable posted in the link above + the cab file
Why go to all the hassle, just buy a TV out cable. Mine cost about £15 which is nothing. It's a fairly simple cable with Video on pin 6 & Video Screen on pin 8. Audio is on 7 & 11 with screen on 5 and 10. The only hassle I have now is antenna for the radio, pin 9. With this pin connected the Rhodium assumes a headset is plugged in and disables TV Out.
cable
Ya have the real deal coming in a few days. Wasnt worth waiting for a potential cab that would work.
I have a differnet question... I have the usb to rca video and 2 rca audio outputs.
When I plug it in it disables the internal speaker and I can not figure out how to get it working without unpluging the a/v cable but I do not want too..
I want to use the T2 with a 3com mini projector and use the speaker in the phone with it.. Anyway to do this, or is there a Video only cable, I looked and did not see on.

mbarabas, according to me for the packet not his part the TV cable, but not be true, because I want to buy it the pro
I'm sure I saw somewhere that it doesn't come in the box. I've just oredered one from Expansys.
Today is the last day of the Modaco offer if you type "http://mickey.modaco.com/expansys/getcode.php?email=" into your browser adding your email address after the "=" it will send you a £10 voucher. You need to order something else to push the price of the cable over £20 so I got a 1GB MicroSD.
So all in that's a the TV out cable and 1GB MicroSD card delivered for £14.19
HTC own website states that its optional, so its highly unlikely you'll get one in the box
My cable has arrived. I'll post the pinout when I get a chance to beep it out.
pin out
These are for the pins as viewed in the plug.
1 video out
5 video ground
2 audio right
6 audio left
11 audio ground
jwitham - thanks, updated first post!
Now does anyone know where you can buy the 11pin ExtUSB plugs from? I only seem to be able to find them on audio adaptors which, I guess, only have 3 wires connected.
I was watching unboxing video, there is not a TV cable in the box
not really what the post is after but might be useful for some people, here is the link to buy the full cable from expansys:

yeh, to check resistance between video out and video ground, as well as
between audio out and audio ground, for example, by some ohm-meter

probably a terminator resistor of 50 ohms .. a piece of 50 ohm antenna wire will do fine ..
these cost 25 cents or less
as far as the mini usb .. its probably the same as this one motorola has..
im not sure if motorola sells these or if there are any to buy separatly.
just an idea : maybe one can convert this yellow rca videoplug (which comes standard with any videocard with tv-out) to have a miniusb plug on the other side.

No problem what to convert, the question is "how"
An ExtUSB-3.5mm jack headphone adapter ($5) has the necessary connector.
I just need someone to check the original cable of intercontact resistence

I dont think it is terminated inside the connector. The detection will be due to the internal termination of the device you connect to eg tv or projetor.

I think you are right a tv has an composite input witch has a 75ohm resitance.
but your headset uses the same connection for his mic... for me a bummer but for you guys maybe the solution....

it's a pinout of the headset...
i just maked one for myself (actual a home made cradle) but it just doesn't reconize the cable, audio and charging works like a charm
Build your own TV Out Cable
OK, I tried to put the pin-out together. I don't have the cable, but I played around with the Multifunction Audio Cable YC A200 which I opened up for that purpose. Only when pins 3 and 5 are connected and not 4, the TP recognizes a video cable and askes for the video norm. When using these pins as ground, there is a humming noise and the video flickers. By connecting these pins with pin A, this problem is solved. I put the info on a figure... could someone with a cable and a multimeter validate it?
I made then a custom cable to work with the Multifunction cable. For this, a 4-pin 3.5 mm plug was worked on with a Dremmel (see figure). The plug needs then to be inserted into the receptacle so that the notch is at the upper left. Just turn the plug till it is no longer identified as headset but as video cable. The extra ground connection I got from a regular mini USB cable. Tested and works without problem...
switch should be connected to mic ground probably.. can you try if this works ?
connect 3 and 5 for video switch
connect audio plug [ ]=== ground - audio right - audio left
4 - 2 - 6
connect video (o) outer 5 inner 1
If anyone is keen , or if you are like me and have a spare headset from another phone you can use the following diagram and cable colour code to make your own video out cable.
I have used the Raphael cable for this excercise as I like my old Hermes one better.
You will need:
One Red White and Yellow RCA Cable
Step One. Remove pin four from the extUSB plug. *note this can be tricky but is necessary to allow the device to recognise the cable as a TV out cable as opposed to a Headset cable. I used a needle to bend into the middle of the plug and then used a tiny micro screwdriver to bend backwards and forwards until it broke. Be careful not to damage any of the other contacts. Please see post 20 for an easier option that doesnot involve removing pin 4
Step Two. Cut cable as close to mic piece as possible and remove outside cover.
Step Three. Solder the following pairs of cables together using the following codes:
Video positive (Yellow RCA end) --> White pvc coated cable (extUSB end).
Video sheild (Yellow RCA end), --> blue copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Left (White or Black RCA end) --> green copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Right (Red RCA end) --> red copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Sheild ( both Red and White or Black RCA end --> copper cable (extUSB end), * note the copper cable is the sheild wire that surounds all the coloured wires.
The last two colored copper wires
Step Four. wrap electrical tape around the solderd wires so that they do not touch any of the other contacts.
Step Five. Plug in and play.

Please note that the mini USB must have contacts on the inside of both the bottom and top. the average mini USB sync cable does not have the necessary contacts.
this is such an awsome mod, im going to try this out. lol
i removed the pin 4 as stated in the picture but the cable is not recognized as a TV Out cable and no longer is recognized as a headser, i made sure i didnt damage any other pins besides the number 4.
another thing is that i only want video i dont care about audio does the TP sense that is conected or can i just solder the two wires required to get video?
excelente post BTW
EDIT:
Does the TV out only outputs certain content or can any content can be shown on the TV
i have a 7" monitor in my car and i wanted to use this monitor to display GARMIN as its bigger screen.
im gonna answer myself
any content can be seen on the TV.
yes it does have to be conected to the TV and the TV has to be ON in order to detect the signal.
also make sure the pin is completlly removed all the way to the bottom.
IT WORKS !!!!!!

This will work with any mini USB plug that has internal contacts on both the bottom and the top (see Step One.JPG in first post). The colour of the wires may vary but I would imagine that there would be a standard colour code for all earplug cables made by HTC, however these may vary between companies.
Hope this helps.
thanks dude. Could it be done with an ordinary mini usb cable?
I tryed this and it did not work for me so I went to Amozon.com and got the Ipod RCA jack didnt cost much at all. Clean look and dont wast the nice HTC ear plugs but I guess you guys are happy with it but now I need new ear plugs...
I didn't use HTC plugs at all, bought Creative ones + 1 pound adaptor and they are way better than stocks, so yes I'm happy about that mode I've done like.. 10 mins ago?
Had some problems with all operation couse it was quite difficult to find right cables on photo that author attached (of course I really appreciate audible_paradigm work, all that mess was about different colors of my cables).
Anyway, it works veeery good and I'm one step closer to get this phone liked
Ps. You don't have to remove 4 pin in usb cable guys, just install one of the .cabs attached in THIS topic - much easier x]
Big thanks!
Does it have it?
Some sites say the specs do, some don't mention it!
Can't get a definitive answer on that one!
Also, if it does : where can I get a cable?
Thanks guys!
I haven't tried myself, but the iPhone and iPod video do it through the headphones socket. you can get a cable that takes this and makes it a yellow RCA cable. you could try one of them?

Interesting question.
But where are settings for video output?
I'd be interested if anyone can prove this? Re-settings...if this is possible then there could be 2 options.. 1. you will only see the settings when it's in "video out" mode.. or it's auto detected and there are no additional settings (as per audio output... )!
i'm really hoping for this but i'm guessing SE would advertise it to their benefit, and afaik they didn't so my hopes are kept rather low...
I've had a guy telling me that he can use TV out on his X10, using a microUSB-3.5mm adapter and the TV out cable from an N900.
i haven't been able to find an adapter that has the extra connector for TV out to try it.
I've got a 3.5mm jack going to red/white audio connectors. If I put one into the video part of the tv wil it play video or is it down to how its wired in?

I think X2 uses the 3.5 mm port for video out, and they didn't advertise that.
Yeah, they did. There's a button for it on the keyboard too.
I'm wondering if it has the hardware, but the options aren't there yet, and they might be added along with the HD video recording update.
well it definitely doesn't work at the moment.. just tested it. I have a video and mono audio cable (Yellow and Black).. and also a video with stereo audio cable (Red, white and Yellow)
did you try via the jack or with a 3.5mm adapter?
directly via the jack.. cable was 3.5mm "headphone" style at one end.. and phono at the other.
I tried that with a cable from an N900, doesnt work.
Still trying to find a micro usb to 3.5mm with video.
It seems there are some out there for LG and HTC, it's just getting hold of one to test it!
Hmmm this is interesting..

Just in case... Did you try testing with the Red or White as the video? Some companies have their own way of wiring things so that you have to buy their cables. Most people don't think of just swapping the colours around to get it to work and just fork out for the new cable.
There is a tv-out cable for the droid incredible:

I wonder if this would also work on the X10 and when it will be available.

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?

I have a Note 4 the Enyos octa core.
Today I tried to experiment by hooking it with a AUX cable to the computer, to see if it works and connect it in the car's radio afterwards.
For my best surprise, I am hooking it into the PC, TV, Creative surround e.g. noting works. When I plug they JBL J33s they work fine.
It's like the phone is not recognizing the aux cable, though it's a standard 3.5mm aux audio cable, there is nothing special about it.
I looks like this: http://s474818768.onlinehome.us/list/Aux Cable/002.jpg
There is enough clearance, as it clicks perfectly as the earphones do, the only thing that differ is the lack of audio.
I checked the cable with multi meter and everything is fine ground/left/right
I hooked the cable to an oscilloscope, but there is no signal present.
Do you guys have any clue why this happens ??
