Does anybody know of a short ( say 6 inch) right angle
mini stereo cable to connect the IPOD to a Belkin Power
adapter? :confused:
I tried a google, and found on that was $119.00... Yikes!!! :lol:
PLEASE do not say try Radio Shack, as my local guy
does not have it, and we could not find it in his
catalog... :(
I have the striaght in six footer, but that is kinda goofy,
it works well, but is just too goofy... :roll:

Greetings! Not sure about your Radio Shack guy, but the one near my home generally tells me that if they don't have it, they can make it. They made an iPod audio cable for me for my last truck and it actually came out pretty good - it looked good and worked great. Other than that, if you find a long right angle job, consider splitting it yourself - I've done that before, as well - it's easy to do and you can split it in a spot that will end up hidden (behind?) your iPod.
:2cents:

Surprisingly, it took me a long time to find a right angle cable... seems like they'd be easier to find! :confused:
They are a little expensive (but certainly not $119!! Yikes! :confused: :eek: ), but I ended up ordering one from SoundProfessionals.com (http://www.soundprofessionals.com/)
Do a search on their site for "right angle 3.5mm patch" without the quotes. There are 3 different (but similar) cables with several different lengths-- they have 8-inch and 12-inch cables (plus more).
I bought both a 24-inch SP-SPSC-7 and a 1-meter SP-SPSC-5. The SP-SPSC-7 has a much slimmer plug than the other and since I run my cable out the aux jack then behind the radio bezel (to mostly hide wires), that's what I'm using.
Hope that helps.

Radio Shack website or visit the local store. They have everything under the sun.

I checked Radio Shack when I was looking... didn't find em.
Minijack/3.5mm cable... no problem. Right Angle 3.5mm cable... problem.

Yea, Same here. Found the little guys. :(
It's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things,
but, It would be nice to have a clean looking connector.
I am afraid of the stright in one breaking off or worse yet,
bustin the jack in the radio. YIKES...... :eek:
