I'd love to see someone make an adapter to allow a Zune to directly connect to any of the MANY iPod accessories. At this point though I am content with trying this on my own, the issue is getting the connectors. Does anyone have a source for both?

[Nanaki]

check here

[Tom_in_AZ]

Appreciate the link. I found some more info on this and it seems I might be opening a can of worms right now. I am going to hang in there a bit longer to see if someone makes something that we can use a little more plug and play. Last thing I want is to blow up my zune.

What are these "pins" ???
The conectors on the sync cable?

[Nanaki]

Yes

[Jason]

so would it be possible to make a bypass for the headphone jack?, the one on my zune, is crapped out

[Bman22]

has anyone tried to make a video cable for this. I just think that the amount of money the actual cable costs is crazy

[Jason]

so because it was found at Zuney it is fake?

[Jason]

not exactly, he just put it on there and it made it sound like he found them, and he didnt cite a source, so it looked like he tried to make it look like his own


but can anyone help me please with my previous question

I had bought a generic "IPod Video Cable" from Wal-Mart which was less then $10 and works perfectly! You should try it!

[Tom_in_AZ]

Agreed, I picked up a white cable from Walmart around $9 and it works perfect for video output, and the cable is white in color.

[Jason]

someone answer my question... my headphone port is now completly ripped off

[Nanaki]

Yes it is possible, in fact the Zune Dock does just that. Basically just take the pinouts and attach them to a headphone jack, or simply reattach a new one to the top

[Jason]

i did try that last night, and the pins are just too close together to solder, with my iron...

[Pocker09]

can we make our own output cables with the pinout info? like if i wanted to make an audio out with out it being amplified(like the headphone jack)?
or maybe a total A/V for tv?

[Nanaki]

you can, that is basically what the Zune dock does. Or you can simply use one out the headphone jacl.

[Jesus]

take your zune cord cut it and attach the wires don't try an solder the pins
