Mini cable for Nuvi 660 operation without soldering the connector

 

I bought one of these:

and one of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181498840381?_trksid=p2060778.m2749....

Now this second one was just for verifying the pinout easily....

I then cut the first (5 Pin extender) in Half...
Pinout is:
+5V RED
Ground BLACK
ID BLUE
Data is Green & WHITE which I don't care about...

Then I cut a 4 PIN USB cable in two...
+5V is RED
Ground BLACK
Data is Green & White which I don't care about...

Connecting the two cables together....

Connect: RED TO RED

Black and BLUE to BLACK

Solder these wire (Instead of connector as previous)

tape or Heat shrink

WORKS!!! NO PROBLEM!!!

I wanted to develope something simpler than attempting to solder a mini USB Connector, which can be done, but is fraught with danger!!!

This way the connectors are pristine, and cannot cause a problem....

IT WORKS!
