I am preparing to install an amplifier on my K3.  To get the ALC signal from the 15 pin DIN plug I was hoping to use a VGA cable, cut one end off, and wire it up accordingly.
 
Unfortunately pins 3,4,5,6,7,8 and 11 are all grounded in the cable.  There are 4 shielded wires in the cable and the ground foil on the outside.  So I will have to cut off the offending pins or spring for a male connector.
