My 40GB iPod Photo and one of the dock connectors (JAE Part # DD1-P030MA1) which I'll most likely be using to make the connectors.

Checking R10. It appears to be 1MΩ (megaohm), which ties ACC (pin 21) to ground (pins 29 & 30) to indicate that a Belkin Auto Kit is connected. The end result is that when power is disconnected, the iPod pauses.

I used a multimeter with alligator clips and T-pins in order to confirm that the documentation I have is correct.

Some 1MΩ (megaohm) resistors from Radio Shack which I will use to signal to the iPod that it should pause when power is removed.

I decided to sacrifice a five conductor MIDI cable because it is both flexible and fairly durable.

The connector right after I accidently bridged some pins with solder. The connector is now unusable and I'll have to start over.
