I forgot, I cant do that. I sent Matt the 4-pins from the cables you made Steve
Yes you can Bean. All you need is the stock cable.
Bean, I'm not communicating very well. Please send me your stock cables and I'll get this done for you.

You don't need the cables that I made. All you need is the stock cables. You simply need to figure out the pin assignments on the stock cables (pin 1 on the male side of your stock cables is connected to pin ?? on the female side of your stock cables) and communicate to Matt what that config is. Matt should then copy that same pin assignment config. on your new cables by soldering them up the same way.
All of the above instructions are provided from the stock cable which of course is wired correctly since that's how they came from the factory. The cable that I made up simply duplicates the wiring configuration in the stock cables.
Bean, I guess you've never reverse engineered anything or torn your car apart and put it back together again. It's called reverse osmosis. It's how, over history, the japanese have copied American technology. In the case of an old car, I never used an instruction manual on how the parts go back together, I just remembered how I took it apart. When I got done, if I had parts left over, I was in trouble!!!
What you do is start with the finished product and then work backwards by tearing the finished product apart piece by piece but, but each piece that you take off, you figure out what it is (e.g. a 0.1 ohm resistor connected to two points on a circuit board). Every step of the process, you make detailed notes of what you take off, where it was connected, etc. Eventually you get to the bare bones parts...the raw cirucuit board or whatever. All along the way, you keep notes about how you tear the pieces off. When you're finished, you put it back together in reverse to understand the design of the product you've reverse engineered.
OK, its not simple to do for a TV or a computer, but for a pair of stock active cables with mini-XLRs on each end, you don't even have to tear anything apart. You don't even need to pull the connector apart to do what I've instructed you to do above.
