to headphone-like cable?
my roommate has busted the tape adapter for the cd player in his car...the 1/8" jack came off the wire. when stripping the wires there is an unshielded coper wire and one shielded (red or white) in each pair.
the 1/8"trs plug has 3 connections that i can see.
what wires go to what?
-
been lookin all over and can't find it....
-
i thought there were posts with diagrams...
-
check the archive for a diagram... its not the best but it is there
-
i should clarify...this is actually tip-ring-sleeve(short)-ring-sleeve(long) and the diagrams in the archive are for a straight tip-ring-sleeve...i did see those and maybe it's the same thing but i still don't understand how it is supposed to work!

bump!

most likely the following:
Red > Right (ring)
White > Left (tip)
both shield cables > shield

this (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F003%5F001%5F004&product%5Fid=274%2D284) is the jack by the way...
just seeing if there are any other suggestions...he's probably gonna go ahead and try what you said marc.
