Or a round 3-5mm plug? There must be a pinout of a generic one somewhere, its only pos and neg right? ---

Take a look at the plug ends. The one on the far left is the Passport’s original RJ11 plug. The telephone cord has one end that matches (on the far right) and one that doesn’t (in the middle). Cut off the end that doesn’t match (middle) and keep the one that matches ![http://www.audiworld.com/tech/pics/elec102-8500Install%20020.jpg](http://www.audiworld.com/tech/pics/elec102-8500Install%20020.jpg) If I remember correctly, Red is power, and Green is ground. ---
