USB extension cable for the TYTN 11 pin connector?

---

Hi all,

As per subject...

Anyone know if such as cable is available?

I was planning on getting the new 3-1 Adaptor for the TYTN to make use of the 3.5mm jack and charging feature in my car.

The thing is, the cable for this adaptor is very short and cannot be hidden easily when in the car. So, I was thinking of using an extension cable of some sort, so the adaptor could be more easily hidden elsewhere under the centre console.

Many thanks.

USB Stupidity

Hi,

Affraid i didn't find anything either, and wanted to do the same thing.

I resorted to buying the cable from expansis and "Adapting it my self"

The project was fairly simple, and if your happy with a soldering iron and a multimeter you should be fine.

I now have a small connector on my dash that will disapears under the dashboard to a breakout box. All i basicly did was chop off the box that has the two female connectors in it, extend the wire with an old cut up parralel printer cable (multicore and was lying arround) and then terminated in a project box from maplins.

This has two headphone sockets, (audio out stero, and mic in) as well as a USB socket to charge the phone. (the plan was to have the USB socket be usable for data... but that bit went a bit wrong...


Still from the testing i have done, i now have tomtom and WindowsMedia mp3 play back comming through my car stero, and my VarioII reports to be charging. Havn't had a chance to test it on a long drive yet, i think i might still need a beefier 12Volt to USB adapter.

If anyone want more info on what i did, i'd be glad to help.

here are some pics, sorry v bad Q....

I don't seem to see any pics?...

Ooops...

here you go

Seems good to me- as long as it all works ok then its a good job.

Always been interesting in making my own adapters/cables but have never tried. Perhaps I should give it a go!

Any news on that extension cable yet; is it available?

i brought one of these and successfully lengthened it with an old peice of printer cable (only multi core cable i had to hand)

i then used an off the shelf diy project box to hide the junction in.

worked very well, but i have since changed to a bluetooth car kit.

the soldering was a little small and working out which wire was which was a bit of a pain, but all in all only took an hour or so to sort out. probably worth it.

(AFAIK my dad is still using the one i adapted.)

sorry to put old post on top !! but own a dimaond and just buy a touch HD !

i a m looking for this kind of cable !!
If someone have info !!
where to buy for exemple ?


thanks in advance !!

how about extending the power cable? seems like that would be easier.
