I have been trying for a while now to figure out how could combine an audio patch cable to a lego motor wire. When i finally got it, it eventually turned into this. if you happen to have a newer nano, im sure u can adapt this to suit your needs. first instructable ever, so please dont dis it. it may be pretty stupid and impractical, but u dont have to look at it.

Wat U Need

now were gonna' modify a standard male to male audio jack- i spliced some wirs from half of one to the lego wire. oh, yeah, you need to make another plug with the other halves of the two wires. (lego and audio)
