Excellent work LGSilva, A+ :)

Nice work on tracking down the parts. I had the hardest time locating a micro-usb housing, duh, didnt think of ebay. I just ordered from ebay also and will be assembling my cable when it arrives.

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

LGSilva, the cable on dealextreme says its 1.2M in length, what is the measurements of where the Y section breaks off the two cables and are they both the same length? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cbb77:
Man this is awesome. I really hope you will consider making a few of these to sell. If so please add me to the list as I would absolutely buy one of these. This is what I am looking for and as of yet do not see that anyone else has made these. Please, please, please make some for sale.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LGSilva:
I need to find a ruler to measure that but it's about same length...

I wish I had time to build more cables for sale but real life keeps me from doing it ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bunnybash:
I will be building around 20 to sell... if people want them, if it's ok with the 1st poster, I will call them after him though, I would never want to take credit for this amazing little piece of work!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cbb77:
Add me to the top of the list!. I will definitely buy from whoever can make some spare ones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Seanbest:
Definitely interested in one as well. My AUX input is in my glove box (2007 VW GTI), so I'd have to make sure the cable length will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adoute:
I'd like to be added to the "purchase" list as well. How long is the cable you are going to be using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Seanbest:
Would like to be on the "waiting list" as well. Again, would need a good length cable as my AUX is in my glove box.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bunnybash:
I am going to be making them with long, medium and short cables available. Will measure up on a few cars to see different lengths, then post the lengths available. Of course if people want to post up their desired cable length, that would make life easier too :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Seanbest:
I'll measure and post tomorrow :).

I found I am happy with 3.5mm jack audio out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LGSilva:
I just posted the info from another thread in a more specific way :)

Feel free to make and sell the cables.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
I would also like to be put on this list. I'd need a 6 foot audio connection but it would need to terminate as stereo RCA plugs (not mini plug/ 3.5mm headphone Jack). Is that do-able? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cbb77:
Yeah, I was kind of looking for the same however don't want to discourage him from making these as not sure if that would be more difficult or not. If not I was planning on getting one of these to provide the RCA connections.

Very doable, easy in fact
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
I was thinking about getting one of these to improve my audio quality, and then I found out that my bluetooth audio connection isn't the problem, its that iTunes encoding is absolute ****. I noticed this when I tried Pandora and realized there isn't static playing in my car when songs I bought on iTunes and ones i've ripped all have tons of background static. I may need to re-rip all my music with a decent program.

Any recommendations?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
Good luck. I need to sit down and get one of these together, myself. I wish I just had Bluetooth in both of my vehicles.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aimtrainer:
Hey everybody. I altered my Brodit Carholder for the sgs2 with the 619k resistor and sound output. Yesterday when I was done everything worked fine, but now when I plug it in it puts out sound for a couple of seconds and then it stops. Unplugging and directly replugging it doesn't help. When I wait a couple of minutes to plug it in it again puts out sound just for a couple of seconds and then stops. Might this be caused by my bad soldering skills?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
Does the phone see the audio out through the USB as a set of headphones? Right now, and this has worked with all my previous phones, if I plug in my aux cable, the phone will route call audio through it, so I can hear the caller on my stereo, and speak normally for them to hear me. Would love for this cable to work like that. I'd hard-wire this cable into the aux in on my head unit and my truck's 12v system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
No, calls stay on the phone (automatically set to speaker mode).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
Ohhh, dang. OK, I'll stick with my current setup. Thanks. This is an interesting concept, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wified:
If you have this cable plugged into the usb port on the phone, and also at the same time have a wired headset plugged into the 3.5mm port on the phone when in the car, will the call automatically go to the wired headset if you were listening to music via the audio out on the this cable?

Or would having the headset plugged into the phone all of the time cause the audio-out (music, for example) to come through the wired headset all of the time, even though you still had this cable hooked up, including the audio-out coming from the usb port?

Can I have both wires plugged in, but have music coming from the usb, but phone calls automatically routed to the headset when they come in? Without having to change settings everytime I hook up the phone?

If this cable will work this way, then I want one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KeyCat:
I'm interested as well so add me to your list and post/PM details.

4 custom length cables available

UPDATE: I have used all my spare parts and have no more cables available.

I have spare parts to make some custom length cables for anyone that is interested, please PM me. Unfortunately, I only have 4 micro-USB connectors with casings, thus I can only fabricate 4 cables for serious individuals. Cost will be $25, which includes USPS shipping to you.

I am chopping standard 2 meter USB-A cables and various length 1/8 (3.5mm) stereo-mini or RCA connectors (right angle or straight).

I can fabricate the cable to any length up-to ~1meter for the USB-A to micro-USB plug with a reasonable* length line-out spliced into the main cable at any point based on your need. I am using a smaller 1/8 watt 619k resistor inside the micro-USB connector. The cable will be soldered and finished with heat shrink tubing for a clean look, USB connectors are black.

Details required:

Desired USB cable length

Desired Line-out cable length

Desired Line-out connector (stereo-mini, RCA [straight or angle])

Distance on USB cable to splice for line-out

Direction of line-out cable (towards micro-USB or USB-A) the splice is parallel

Based on my time and schedule, I should be sending the completed cables out the week before christmas.

Is there a noticeable difference between audio through the micro usb port and the headphone port? Mine does. Audio coming out of the micro usb is bad. I don't know if it's just my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LGSilva:
The audio from the USB is "raw" as you can't use any sound enhancements like when you're using the headphones connector.

For me the sound output has a lower volume than the headphones jack but I have a sound system in my car with a parametric eq.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] comfychair:
Sorta related to that, is volume out still controlled at the phone when using USB out, or is it fixed (like ipod)? I have a weird setup with no headunit at all, just phone connected direct to the crossover in the trunk via, currently, a 3.5mm/RCA cable. I'd like to do it with just one connection, but if there's no volume control on the phone I'll have to stick with the headphone out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hchxoom:
Exact Audio Copy (EAC) is the best way to accurately rip. Free and open source. You will need to read a few "guide" sites to learn how to set it up for optimal results...but once set up properly it is quite simple to use.

What ROM are you Running?

LGSilva,

What ROM are you running now? I just switched from CM 7.2 to UnNamedROM 2.2.1. I really don't like the Samsung look, but I want the dock connector to work. Anyway, I was curious what ROM you were running that had the dock connector working. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joseph.alukka:
Hello,

Nice work there, I had a doubt to as you as you seem to be familiar with the mUSB on the SGSII.. Im have built a USB OTG adapter for S2 with an external driven power supply to run heavy hard disks and devices. It works fine, but I wanted to know if the fone would accept a charge at the same time. I am 80% on the side that it wont work as the fone functions as a host supplying +5V on the Vcc pins instead of sinking it to charge. Still I would like to confirm this fact in case you know abt the hardware or if anyone has come across such a OTG dock which can charge and USB OTG at the same time. Thank you :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I don't believe this is possible - It's possible on the Tabs due to the dock connector there having separate pins for power in and OTG power output, but not on our device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
The volume is controlled by the phone volume controls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joseph.alukka:
Thank you for the info, thats the only drawback I can see with OTG on this device as of now as even the NTFS issues can be addressed. I so wished this was possible :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lbovill:
I am curious about building one of these for a separate portable DAC + Amp for headphones. Is this just a reroute of the phones DAC/Amp output, or is it a true "RAW" line out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bunnybash:
Don't count this as definitive, but the sound difference is great enough that I would say with 90% certainty it is raw line out

Gound Noise ?

I have done up my cable, but I notice very noisy (wheezing) ground noise when the phone is not playing music. Or using handfree speaker call.

Believe this is because of the sharing of ground pin for the AUX and 5V input.

Anyone has this issue and the solution ?

I only want USB->Audio(3.5mm male) without charging part to possibly pair with Fiio E11 to bypass HO amp. I think it's already tested here that the audio out is RAW which will suits good. Anyone done this or bought from anywhere? If DIY what about VCC connection? empty?

hello, i made cable ​​by your instructions, but when you install the resistor 620Koh on auto mode but there is no sound through the cable, but when I put a 1Koh resistor on home docking station and audio through the cable is already under way. That may suggest that the sound was in the car docking station I have a phone galaxy R.

So I just received my cigarette lighter adapter that puts out 1A. I did a test run for about a 15 minute drive. I was playing music from the internal CM9 music app. I was also running Navigation. My battery dropped 2% in 15 minutes. Has anyone else had severe battery drain while doing these activities? My cable for this mod should be here in a week so I wanna be sure I'm not wasting my time. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bunnybash:
The cable is limiting the charge, do the phone won't be pulling in the full 1amp.

The resistor tells the phone to take the full charge
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
So when I charge the phone at night, on it's normal charger and a long micro USB cable, will only pull the 500mA and not the full 750mA? That makes me feel better about the cable :-) Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
Well, I finished my car audio dock cable last night. I tested all connections and everything seemed good. I plugged just the microUSB in (not on a charger at this point) and CM9 recognized Car Dock mode. That was encouraging. Here's a link to the pictures I took during the build. Some notes:

Blue wire = Right Speaker

Orange wire = Left Speaker

Yellow Wire = Ground

Red wire = USB +5V

Black Wire = USB Ground

I found it easier to solder the yellow/black/one leg of resistor together first, before attaching to the microUSB. I ruined one microUSB end by not doing this.

On to testing:

This morning, I plugged the phone in (at 96% charge) to my 1A cigarette lighter adapter, and fired up some locally stored (on SD card) music and Google Nav. I got to work (about 12 minutes later) and the phone was at 95%.

So something is not right with this whole thing. I will say that I'm using CM9. They have not included car dock audio yet. That should be coming in the next nightly (hopefully, tonight). Either my cigarette lighter is not capable of putting out 1A, or, CM9 is missing something to tell the phone to charge at the full 750mA? Is that possible? Any ideas?

I am about to make this cable, but I am trying to do something a bit different. I want to use my existing ipod connection in my car to charge and route audio from my i777 through my stereo.

So I have my female dock connector, all the pinouts all ready to go. I just am waiting for the resistor. Does anyone know if this will work or not, or do I have to set some mode with a resistor. (see pin21 of ipod dock connector)

how do i 'verify' the plugs and cables?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
This really depends on how the iPod connection to your car works. Are you sure it just routes analog audio? Is it possible that it actually is using a USB connection to the iPod? If that's the case, then it will not work. I have an Alping CDA-9855 with a KCA-420i. I'm pretty sure that 420i puts the iPod into a USB mode, as the screen on the iPod changes. I'm able to control playback/forward/reverse/pause/playlists on the head unti. So it's pulling audio from the USB and using the internal DAC and some equalizer hocus pocus to make it "sound" better.

I used Google Images to find an image of the pinout on a mini-stereo plug. This is the right pin out. Then, just make sure you have a multi-meter and you can test the pins/cables using a resistance test.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hashish16:
I think my acts as a remote to control the ipod, but then routes analog output. Reason I believe this is because it can be from hybrid mode (which the HU controls the ipod) and direct mode where you control the ipod.

Hi!

I'm well capable of making the cable, but just lazy and would want something to look more professional. I've been looking for about a half hour, and haven't been able to find any places that sell a cable like this.

I'd imagine that somebody HAS to make one, right? If so, can somebody give a reference?

Also, I know the sg3 is coming out soon, but will this work on the sg3? I'm wondering if anybody from overseas have tried this on a sg3.

I can do this for you. But it's not very cheap:

- resistor, glue, solder: < 2 Euro

- any micro-usb-cable (for the connector): 3 Euro

or

- original SGS 3 micro-usb-cable: 8 Euro
