You can use a simple 24ga wire wrap lead as a jumper.
That’s what I figured, thanks.

The pigtail for the 3.5mm jack depends upon the type of cable you choose, but it’s simplest to make a cut alongside the existing cable’s strain relief, and you can wire tye the cables together for support.
For my first attempt, I’m just going to mod a cheap View A/V cable so I won’t actually be adding any additional cable, just the jumper. But a cable with both audio and USB would be very usefull (especially in the car). If the View A/V cable mod works, I think I’ll order another cheap data cable and try to add the audio cable.
Another idea might be to convert the View A/V cable’s video lead into USB. Just replace the connector and resolder to the appropriate pins in the 30-pin connector. That would make for a very tidy cable. Do you think the video wires would be adaquate for USB power?
