Best RCA cable for a Raspberry Pi 3

I wanted to connect my Raspberry Pi to an old CRT (retro gaming) and this cable worked perfectly. It's well made and will clearly last a very long time.

My bad

Thought it didnt work but you have to force hdmi ignore in config. Cant switch easily between HDMI and this composite out. But thats a software/Pi problem, this cable works well enough

An authentic way to play RetroPie

The media could not be loaded. I've been playing my RetroPie setup on a modern LCD monitor for years. While it's been great, an authentic feeling of retro gaming on a CRT was calling out to me. I missed the glow of the old tube TV, the real scanlines it produce, and the slightly fuzzy image it provided. These cables provide that feeling!Initially I wasn't getting an picture (only audio), I had to go into my config.txt and uncomment my "force HDMI" line. Now works like a charm. Still in the process of converting my setup to a 4:3 home menu (misalignment in games selection screen), but games look and sound beautiful during gameplay.I highly recommend these cables for anyone wanting to play on a CRT!

These Do Exactly What They Should

These do exactly what they should do and output composite video and stereo audio from the 3.5mm jack on a raspberry pi. Composite video quality is pretty mediocre, but that isn't the fault of these cables.

Works with PI 4 B with some caveats

After some troubleshooting with the config file, this cable should work with composite from Pi 4 board. If using a Pi 4 Model B board, make sure to turn to add "hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1" to your config line. Also be sure to comment out (as in put a # sign in front of) "hdmi_force_hotplug=1".Most importantly, if your video is turning blank after the rainbow splash and RPI boot load up screen, make sure you are adding the use of an older KMS driver, namely "dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d". Then comment out the newer driver. Should have uninterrupted video signal now.

Easy to get the wrong cord, but this makes it easy to to right.

So many AV cords aren't wired for use with the Pi. This worked perfect right out the package. Booted up and full display on an old CRT.

Doesn't seem to fit, poor shielding

Tried on two different CRTs, might have a dud but it simply doesn't seem to be able to create a proper connection / fit snugly. Shielding is lacking.

Works

Works great with my Pi 4 connected to a CRT, nice image without noise.

Worked great as AV adapter for TCL TV

Contrary to the product description, I didn't buy this to use with a Raspberry Pi. I bought it for use with my TCL TV, since it uses the same wiring as the TCL AV adapter. Unlike all the other models I tried, this one actually worked! Many other listings for TCL AV adapters actually have incorrect product descriptions and do not have the correct wiring to use with TCL TVs. But this one works great for that purpose, and you can be sure what you're getting since this is from a distinctive, reputable brand.

Bien mais...

On en a pour le prix, ça fonctionne mais le son grésille sur un raspberry pi3B+ et la vidéo "vibre".

Best one I have used!

So much better than the knock-off one I got from Fleabag! Works perfectly running a Raspberry Pie with Retropie to my cars head rest screens
