If any of you need the original iPhone AV cable, I have posted mine in the "Buy & Sell" forum.

ON
I'd sad to see that Apple has once again stopped the use of a 3rd party Video cable for the iPhone, with the use of software this time.

It's beyond greedy.

iPhone Video Out capable with Apple’s Component Cables - Gadgetell

have a look at this to know more about the cable

Ok, I've got this cable: Apple® Component A/V Cable $49.99
Model: MB128LL/A | Catalog #: 12-400 and it say to connect with dock (does not work). I only got this to work( no color, just Black/white picture with sound).

Here my connection:

_______red
_____________| (audio)
iPhone 2.0 Pwned---------------| |_______white
|
|________________ Green (video)

Blue/red not used.

Am I doing something wrong?

Im assuming it has five leads out black and white are audio and the blue,green,and red are composite which is your video and you need all 3 of those connected for the video to display....

Sounds like you're using the component cables with a composite usage tv. You need to purchase the composite cables (Red + White (Right and Left Audio) + Yellow (Video) for your set up.

The component splits the video between the Blue/Red/Green cables to get better quality video.

I was just wondering if I can use this cabe to use my iPhone as Steve Jobs does at the "Apple Keynote" events.

most of the AV cables i've looked up on ebay are not compatible with 3.0...anyone know if there are any coming out for 3.0? no way in hell i'm paying apple 50 bucks for a freakin cable.

I went ahead and bought the apple cable. Two actually. One a/v for my truck. And a component for my home. The setup in my truck is pretty dope. I've got it running into my Pioneer DVD/nav/av reciever. Letting me output audio and video to the pioneer monitor. To get it to charge in my truck I bought a 12v cigarette lighter to USB adapter and rigged it up inside the dashboard. Ran the device connector out just under the ac vent and got a ac vent mount for my iPhone. The only wire you see is the 3 or so inches that plugs into my phone. I used to have a PAC branded cable hooked up in my truck but it sounded like crap, didn't charge my iPhone 3G/GS, and didn't output video to the monitor. With the apple cable I never have to worry that the next software update from Apple with render my cable useless. Just have to worry about my jailbreak!

Hey guys, Looks like our Chinese brothers over in Asia did the work for us.

After much frustration with 3.0 messing up my iPhone 3G's DX cables (which worked fine on 2.2.1), I decided to go looking on eBay.

I bought one that was labeled both "ORIGINAL" and "iPHONE 3GS" from Hong Kong for $19.99 shipped! Although it says "original," I'm a bit doubtful of that, I really don't think it's OEM. That said, and most importantly, the cables WORK!!! Also, the build-quality is quite nice! I doubt the casual observer would even notice they're not real.

In my opinion, $19.99 & a week or two of waiting beats paying Apple $50 for some damn cables just so we can listen/watch
OUR music/movies in the way we want to!!

Oh yeah a few tips:

• They do not come with a charger.

• None of that pretty packaging you'd get from Apple (no box, mine came in a bubble wrapped envelope)

• Be careful not to confuse COMPONENT (Red, Green, Blue + Red, White) with COMPOSITE outputs
  (Red, White, Yellow)

It is really good to know about AV cables improvement. I think the cable need to be more longer too. I am facing problem with it's length.

Do you have the name of the seller that you bought the cable from? And is it 3.0.1 compatible? I am tired of apple suppressing any competition.
