Just an FYI, my cable is the apple cable.

I've been reading that the audio portion still works, but not the video portion on the non Apple cables (iphone 3g 3.0 firmware). Is this correct? I'd like to buy a cheap cable and all I need is audio anyway. I realize I might get the "this is not supported message", but if the audio works after I say "ok", then I don't mind. Ahh Apple and their greed.

I ordered MB129LL cable to connect headrests TVs, Car Audio and charger. It should work with OS 3.0.

To reject unoficial/non-original/cheap/chineese cables apple has a trick to recognize the cable by measuring the resistance on pin 21. It is done by software wich desides what the device should do if particular cable is connected.

Yes, the audio output still works. I've found that actually the video output works but I've ONLY gotten it to work with videos in the iTunes library. The screensplitr app does not work. And yes, I have the official apple cable with the chip inside it.

Search for TVout app in Cydia. This app can set what other apps can stream to TV out cable.

I made a dual-purpose iPhone and iPod Nano dock from a packet of iPhone cases. Thread here. http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/fabr...vz-clubby.html

You can use any cable (s-video) if you use the universal dock, I've done this successfully on my OS3.0 iphone.

I am trying to make something like this. Going to hack up a regular iPhone charging dock and use some bondo. No way I am paying $150 for a piece of plastic (again - I paid like $200 for my double din bezel already).
