homemade kx414 usb cable

I would like to make a USB data cable compatible with a kx414, but the pictures of the cable on all the sites that sell them is too indescript to see the connector on the phone end of the cable (not the USB connector). Does anyone know what kind of port connector that is so I could solder a cable myself; a radioshack product number would be nicer. ;-)

Also where does the cable connect to the phone? The only two ports are headset and AC adapter. This info might be all that I need to figure out my first question.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The cable connects to the headset jack.

The pin on the data cable appears to have at least 4 separate sections to it and perhaps a fifth that wraps around the outside of the jack.

I'm not sure how standard that end would be.

I broke down and bought one from Kyocera.

so i guess it's not the same connector as a headset unit has...umm
2.5mm or 3/32"?
it would make sense if 4 connections are used; 4 wires in a USB cable...
i know you dont want to tear yours apart for the sake of a pinout (they're expensive!) so hopefully someone else will have an idea...

thank you.

Third party data cables are now available, cheap. ($10-$15)

if u still want that pinout i have it, but like the above poster said it probably would be easier to just buy one off of ebay
