Electronic projects -Xbox 360 VGA/Composite Dongle
![]() |
Xbox 360 VGA/Composite Dongle: The reason why I made this dongle was, that I wanted to make a small, but usefull dongle for my beloved Xbox360 with all the necessary connections. I needed to connect my pc screen through VGA, but I also needed to connect the xbox to the TV screen with the composite connection (You can see all necessary wirering on this website) |
This is how I made the dongle:class="style44">
There you have it: One nearly genuine dongle to give your box higher resolution!

I started with tearing a DVI2VGA dongle apart


because i needed the VGA connector.

Then I took the original Microsoft scart adaptor and opened it.

And I desoldered the SCART part

This is some of the plugs necessary: The Xbox 360 plug - scavenged from an old
xbox 360 cable, the phono and composite ports and the VGA port. I later removed
the metal shell on the plug to get more room.

I also kept some of the cable from the old Xbox cable.


I needed to remove the plastic shell of one of the phono ports, so there was
room for the VGA port.

Then I soldered longer cables on the vga port and the phono port

After that, I soldered the VGA port on the XBOX plug...

and soldered a switch, so you can change between composite and VGA

I needed to make the composite cable longer, so I soldered a cable to this..

and later added some crimp tubing to avoid short cuts.

Then were done with the soldering :)

I needed to make room for the VGA port, so I grinded a hole with my multitool.

I also grinded a hole for the switch.

Then placed all the parts in the SCART shell and glued them in place

I also closed the XBOX360 plug with some solder

Before I glued the dongle shut, I tested it, and it worked perfectly :)
