Nintendo Wii combo Component/Composite Cable

Step 4 Add in composite video pin

Unfortunately, the Wii component cable does not have extra pin headers included in it, so you'll need to find something else to use for a pin. In my case, I used a paper clip that I trimmed slightly and then hot glued into place. For the location of the pin, you'll be placing the new pin between the white wire and a black wire that is nearest the white wire.

This is the most difficult part, so take your time on this. It may be helpful to put a small kink on the end of the paperclip to help it make contact when inserted into the Wii. Also, this picture shows the paperclip hot glued in place before the yellow lead wire was soldered on. You'll want to do the soldering than hot glue, otherwise you'll find that you've just melted all of your hot glue and made a mess.

Next, you'll want to connect the ground for the composite video. In theory it won't need this if you already have audio going to the same device, but it never hurts to have more grounds. All of the big thick black wires are ground, as is all of the little pieces of metal that are sticking up out of the cable. In my case, I just jammed by ground into the cable and secured it place with some hot glue.

You'll probably want to test it at this point. The positioning of the pin is very tricky. You can test it by connecting the lead from the new pin to the center of a composite cable, and the ground to the shielding of a composite cable.
