Audio/Video out Cable for XV600/Touch

Greetings All,
I have a friend who recently picked up an HTC Touch Pro. While sharing with me all the details and nuances of the phone he pointed out that there is an aftermarket cable that uses the mini USB out and converts to RCA jacks (right and left audio and yellow video). http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b170917.jpg
This cable is a home run and the details can be viewed in this YouTube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WURkohx3ja4
Here is my query for you fans and gurus of the forum....
I have the HTC Touch... not the HTC Touch Pro. The cable mentioned above is not listed anywhere as working on my phone. It seems to me that with all the experts in this forum, someone can tell us why it would not work on basically the same phone and manufacturer (HTC) and model series (Touch) as well as the same port coming from the phone (min USB). I realize that it is a software driven feature when the cable is actually plugged in it pops up the screen looking for your decision for NTSC or PAL.
Can someone help me decipher how to get the video cable that is designed for the HTC Touch Pro to work on my good old fashion HTC Touch (which I happen to love) ????
In case anyone is curious why I am in the hunt for this so badly is so that I can play my Sling Player into my audio video inputs in my car (of course not while driving) stereo which has a sweet 7" screen in the dash. My sling player works flawlessly and it would be very very nice to be able to use this cable which is relatively inexpensive to do the trick.
Please Pm me with any thoughts....
the cable dont do anything really it just pass on the video out
that the special version of the extUSB connector in touchPro have
so far other htc devices extUSB do not have video out connectors in
their extUSB connector

I got Touch HD too and I bought the cabel AC T110 (it is for Touch Pro). I confirm that it does not work but I try to find the way out. I even started thinking about changing the device for Touch Pro2 but I like everything in HD exept the absence of TV output. The Pro2 is thicker, the screen is smaller, its camera has only 3,2 Mpixels. It's a pity that HD doesn't have AV out. If I find out anything I'll tell you

What do you mean by you bought a cable? There isn't an official cable as such, just the connector (OK so it has about 3 to 4 inches of wire on it, but cant really be called a cable) there was a cable however for the first Tab, which although it will fit, will not work with the 10.1.
Have you got any images or the listing itself you can provide a link to?
You need the HDMI hookup to connect the 10.1 to your TV. You can find them online. I've attached a picture of what the official Samsung HDMI adapter looks like.
Thanks- i will check on line and will purchase the connector.

ion with atrix lapdock

I have an ion and a motorola atrix lapdock and since the ion has micro hdmi and usb i thought it would work with the lapdock. I had to disassemble the lapdock's cradle and have the wires hanging freely for it to work. I was wondering if anyone else has tried it and noticed no sound through the hdmi and video playback stuttering unless headphone or external speakers are plugged in to the ion. If your gonna point me to thread about the lapdock and the xperia S I read through it a couple times and found no mention. Any help would be or ideas would be appreciated.
I did the same like week and a half ago. Looks like ion don't have drivers for Lapdock USB Speakers. And when I tried to run any HD movie or youtube ion freezed. And when lapdock screen on - Ion not charging, charge only when lid is closed. So I don't see any point to use it because resolution on the lapdock screen sucks .

[Q] HDMI out through amp?

Hey guys,
So I have a M919V (from Videotron) and I just bought the official Samsung MHL 2.0 HDMI adapter. I previously bought a cheapo one from Monoprice and I couldn't get any sort of video out of it even with the 11-pin adapter. I tried with my old S3 and that wouldn't work either, so I got a defective one.
So now, yay, it works, and I can have HDMI out straight to my TV, but I'd really love to plug it into my amp instead, as I could get surround sound and such. Strangely enough, when I do plug the HDMI cable into my amp, my phone shows "Plug the phone directly into the TV".
Is there a way to enable the HDMI out through an amp? I'm *guessing* this has something to do with HDCP or whatever, but I kinda doubt it (my PS3 is full HDCP and still functions quite well through HDMI) so I'm really wondering what's going on with this.
I'm on stock rooted.
I recommend just using a headphone jack to plug into an amp. I haven't seen any mods that allow for hdmi on audio devices yet. There could be one, but I haven't seen it, do a quick search on xda.

That's a possible solution, true. I'll have to give that a shot... It really sucks, I'd be stuck with stereo anyway. My ultimate goal is to be able to stream videos from my PC to my phone and output to my TV, which would negate the need for any sort of weird device.

Xperia Z1 and MHL-HDMI adapters.

Hey guys.
I'm getting the Z1 in a couple of days, switching from my Alcatel OT995 (a tremendous little best-buy phone).
I'm getting acquainted with all the accessories and I spotted that there are MHL adapters out there that support CEC (meaning I can control the Z1 via a TV remote). I'm trying to avoid the official Sony one because of its price, so I scoured eBay a bit...
The typical usage scenario I am aiming at is connecting the Z1 to the HDTV and then watching movies through XBMC, while controlling playback via a remote (through the CEC protocol).
However, I am trying to confirm some eBay items that I found...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-M...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item2c731846ad
^^This one includes a little remote which supposedly allows controlling the Z1, it's $18.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
I also found this cheaper one ($9), but supposedly only for Samsung Galaxy. It looks like the exact same product for me, with the Samsung adapter included: http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-S0-Remote...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item3f2e3709b3
If anyone has actual first-hand experience with this, it might be of help to a lot of people who wouldn't mind using the Z1 as a media center

I buy MHL follow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI6r7SEiaOk but not work for Z1
SO SAD!!!!!
I recently ordered a bunch of cables and stuff from amazon for my nexus devices because I was having trouble with my Slimport piece of crap junk... I don't have a Z1... I lost mine but... my girl has a Z1S from t-mobile...
With my Z1, i used a MHL 1.0 adapter that i gave her, she wanted a MHL to HDMI cable ( no adapter, and possibly 2.0) so in my amazon order, i went ahead and got this....
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUU6K5M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
... it DID NOT WORK... so i returned it... and got this...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESM3TTA/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
this, also, DID NOT WORK on the Z1s.... so , i kept trying... and i ordered this...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I5J6WVY/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
this one WORKED PERFECT....
Now, I noticed it came with an extra cable to increase the length of the part that goes into the phone (mircroUSB)... I noticed those two other cables that did NOT work, had the longer microUSB connection... so im concluding that there are two diff types of MHL? im not sure..... but the SHORTER microUSB connector is the one that works..
So if anyone needs a MHL to HDMI straight connector, that blue one is the one. unfortunately, it is out of stock right now, but i can CONFIRM, it works perfect with the Z1s
any questions? PM me or post here.
