PodBreakout
The PodBreakout brings all 30 pins from the dock connector and makes it easy to solder wires to. Includes PodBreakout Board and soldered Style 1 connector. PodBreakout Pinout Versions 1.0 through 1.3 and 1.5 For v1.4 see below* Pin 1 Signal GND Description Ground (-), internally connected with Pin 2 on iPod motherboard Audio & Video ground (-), internally connected with Pin 2 on iPod motherboard Line Out - R (+) (Audio output, right channel) Line Out - L(+) (Audio output, left channel) Line In - R (+) Line In - L (+) Unknown Composite video output (only when slideshow active on iPod Photo) for iPod Color, Photo only

Different resistances indicate accessory type: 1kOhm - iPod docking station, beeps when connected 10kOhm - Takes some iPods into photo import mode 68kOhm - makes iPhone 3g send audio through line-out without any messages 500kOhm - related to serial Accessory communication / used to enable serial Indicator/Serial communications Used in Dension Ice enable Link Plus car interface 1MOhm - Belkin auto adaptor, iPod shuts down automatically when power disconnected Connecting pin 21 to ground with a 1MOhm resistor does stop the ipod when power (i.e. Firewire-12V) is cut. Looks to be that when this pin is grounded it closes a switch so that on loss of power the Ipod shuts off. Dock has the same Resister.

To force the iPod 5G to charge in any case, when USB Power 5 VDC (pin 23) is fed, 25 must be connected to 5V through a 10kOhm resistor, and 27 must be connected to the Ground (for example: pin 1) with a 10kOhm resistor. iPod 5G can also be forced to charge by attaching the data + and the data - pins to the 5v via a 10k Ohm resistor ( BOTH PINS) and connecting pin 16 to the 5v (ground). (Confirmed working with iPod 5G 20GB) To charge an iPhone 3G / iPod Touch 2nd gen, usb data- (25) should be at 2.8v, usb data+(27) should be at 2.0v. This can be done with a few simple resistors: 33k to +5v (23) and 22k to gnd(16) to obtain 2v and 33k to +5v and 47k to gnd to obtain 2.8v. This is a notification to the iphone that it is connected to the external charger and may drain amps from the usb.
