errm its actually 11-15, well actually any ground pin to 15 (15 is serial ground), but 11 is convenient as its the closest and you can just create a solder bridge

for full operation without warning connect 11/15 together with a solder bridge and connect the result to pin 21 through a 68k resistor

pins are the same whether you are using a mini or RCA

the pins are designed to push down onto the pads in the ipod docking connector, so with them pointing down the numbering is left to right and down and up but like this

1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 etc... onto 30
2 4 6 8 10 12 14

Maybe. I just remember the positions of the pins.

I just got back from radio shack and they have no 68k resistors. I bought the 100k and the 47k, I didn't know which would work, if either? So what do I do in that case?

I hate to but I am bumping so I can get to work on this thing.

neither will work, there is a little bit of leeway, a resistor of ~66-70R can be used (although I have only used 67-69 personally) so the only thing you can do without them is to just short 11-15 (leave the R out altogether) and put up with the warning

Okay well I got the ipod connector that you can take apart so I will wait till I order some parts and get one then and just add it later. Now correct me if I am wrong but that resistor just helps with the 3rd gen Touches and Iphones. All it does it make it by pass the built in speaker, correct?

no, it is required for operation of iphone 3G/s, touch 2G onwards, classic 8g, nano 5g and I think probably anything apple make from now on. shorting 11-15 will bypass the speaker too, and will work on all of the models above, but all of them will periodically warn you that you are using a device that is not a 'made for ipod/iphone' product. it will continue to work, but the warning gets a little annoying,. bypassing the speaker is just one thing. basically its telling the DAP that the cable you plugged in is ok and to start piping music to the lineout, rather than working under protest. pin 11 is the serial ground pin, it is used for communication with all manner of peripheral devices that can be plugged into the docking port, this resistance value tells it that its an audio dock and to send music, other values may tell it that its a line in device and to be ready to record etc etc.

Okay well I will have to go back and put it in. I have a 5th gen anyways. But the solder I ordered should arrive any time now.

I finally finished my cable. Here are some pics.
