3mm Phone pin to USB connector cord.

Does anyone know if this exists? I've tried finding it on Google but I don't think I'm using the correct terms.

Are you referring to a 3.5mm Phone plug, like the one you would see on wired ear buds? I don't know of a 3mm plug

I'm not really sure what you need or are attempting to do. Any more detail you can share?

 

[cuffs054]

KB, yep I screwed the size up. I'm looking to connect a Serrius/XM radio to car stereo.

not sure of whats in your area.....

but try 5-Below, RadioShack, Best Buy, even Walmart....

such a simple cord, sometimes can be found in a dollar store....

they come in different lengths.....as if size matters

Thanks Yogi. But what I need is male headphone to male USB.

I'm seeing several on Google, something like these? I'm sure there could be cheaper options...

Oops wrong link on the second should have been this:

Five bucks is worth it! All of this relates back to my obsession with getting a new Mitsubishi Mirage. No one at MM can tell me if this type of cord will allow a satellite radio to work with car stereo. In fact I've never met more un-enlightened salespeople as I have with this quest. I really appreciate all of you helping with this.

Watch out

I think that first link is not the correct cable, now that I look at it, it appears to be a plug like an A/C adapter would have. The last link should be the correct cable, but I'm sure you could get a cheaper version that's not gold plated.

If your intent is to send audio through this cable remember that a USB connector has no analog audio channel. I'm assuming the USB connection is on the XM radio, the radio likely also has a stereo 3.5mm phone plug jack so that a male-male cable like Yogi posted is likely what you need.

From the description in Mirage thread here on Super, it sounds like the XM radio output is 3.5mm, and the only car audio system input is USB. So one not only needs two different connectors, but one also would need electronics to support converting the signal from analog to digital.
