Wiring the VGA connector


My new quick release system on the Thrustmaster TX base needed new wiring so it could handle more wires to my connector of choice, the 15 pin VGA connector.
I wanted to have the 6 pins from Thrustmaster so I could still use Thrustmaster's own wheels, in addition I wanted two USB lines, the last pin is for the grounded shield.


Bought this 160mm 15 Core Coiled Cable of ebay.




I 3D printed this cableholder I drew, and secured it with a ziptie so it won't twist my soldered cables.



Here is my wiring diagram, I chose to use VGA female connector on steering wheel because this is the part that will be laying around, so there is no chance of bend pins.

( ) is the color of original cable

VGA pin 5: TX (Green) [Yellow]
VGA pin 6: TX (Blue) [Dark Blue]
VGA pin 7: TX (White) [Offwhite]
VGA pin 8: TX (Orange) [Light Brown]
