Does it matter what wattage the resistors are? Will 1/2 watt work?

My line out dock connector is working with no problems... my big issue is getting the line in on the dock connector to work. This has been brought up several times but seems to be disregarded. I can't seem to find any sort of answer on this so please help if you know or have the time to help figure it out.

Anyone know how to get the L & R line-in to work through the dock connector?

 

[cyberbone]

where do you buy the LOD connectors in the states?
TIA!

I don't think there is a source in the states. Ridax is in Germany, but it only took about 4 days for my order to get to me and it was only like $5 shipping. Qables also sells them, but I don't know about shipping costs or time.

Sorry am i missing something, when you say doesnt work do you mean no music or you cannot adjust the volume. Before i lost my iPhone, it would play music through my Fiio LOD but i cannot adjust volume. Is there anyway around my problem?
BTW i do understand that you guys want to DIY but just wondering...

I was able to get mine @ 30-pin Apple Dock Connector iPod iPhone which ships out of LA California.

Anyone know how connect a working left and right audio input on the dock connector? my audio out works great but I can't seem to figure out how to correctly make the Left/Right audio-in work through the dock connector. I want to use a stereo input. The headphone in is mono (left only).

as I understood it, an ipod LOD cannot be volume adjusted... just sends out a clean, robust signal to your amp

yes, if you can adjust the volume, its not a line out

Let me ask some stupid stuff..
I've a USB (to Belkin micro car charger)/ 3,5 mm Stereo (Input to head unit/ auxgate connect) to dock cable which i bought in the shop. I'm using an iPhone 3g with FW 3.1.3.
I only get a line out signal and the volume slider in the iphone disappears as connecting the cable. If the iPhone is connected to the original Apple Dock i've the volume slider which i like to have also in car.
I bypass my head unit and connect to an i-sotec auxgate connect. So volume is only controlled by the input device - so i need the volume slider of the iphone in the car.
I opened the dock connect cable and found a resistor and measured 67.8 k OHM. Regarding this site Apple iPod - iPhone dock Connector Pinout - AllPinouts i need a 1k OHM resistor to get the volume slider?
My requirements:
I need the volume slider.
I don't want to see the "not copmpatible" message.

So what is the right resistor in my case?

Well I've been doing lots of reading but can't seem to find an answer.  The issue I have is I have a car audio deck (JVC KW-NX7000) and it has a female USB connector to connect to an ipod.  This worked fine with a regular IPOD and I had full control of the IPOD with the JVC deck and all that was on the IPOD screen was the JVC logo.  Fast forward and I have upgraded to a new Iphone 3GS.  Now the JVC deck says that its "not made for iphone" but I was wondering if there was a way to trick the deck into thinking its just a regular IPOD and allow me control through the stereo.  When I connect the iphone it does charge but thats it, the JVC does not recognize the device.  Any help is appreciated!

I am still learning about all of this. My first lod refused to work with my iTouch. I used 1-2 for audio GND; 3-4 for right and left; 11 was connected to 15 and that was connected to 21 with a 68kohm resistor. It worked on my gf's Nano but not on my Touch.
 
Also, when looking at the back of the connector with the top side up is it:
 

 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29

(found at pinouts.ru)
 
or
 

 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30

(found at http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/499986/diy-ipod-lod-cables)
 
I am using this connector from Qables: http://www.qables.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=359&zenid=4475354db73523d147e0a1ff83fe1fca
 
My next lod should be a working one and I want to get this straight before I am going to build it. I think I used the wrong pins the first time; it's the only thing that makes sense.

Anyone?

Check the wiki - it has links to the original posts and some pictures that should help you figure out the orientation of the connector so you know what is pin one - on top or on bottom.

and if its not clear, you can always edit it to make it more clear so the next poor bugger doesn't have to go through the same stuff you are...

Sorry if I totally missed it, but what is the wattage on the 68kohm resistor?

 

[lasraik]

Finished my cable and used this pin setup:
 
Top of connector when plugged into iPod:
 

 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30

 
I pulled all pins except 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 15, and 21 out.
 
Connected 1 and 2 = Ground
 
Pin 3 = Right channel
 
Pin 4 = Left channel
 
Connected 11 and 15 together = soldered one side of the resistor to it
 
Pin 21 = soldered other end of resistor
 
Works fine on my iPod Touch 3g.  I've read there is a way to not use a resistor but I went this route to be sure.  BTW, I used a 68k ohm 1/2 W resistor for this.
