where in Vancouver can i get an ipod cable to connect to the AUX?

bfung · 09-04-2007, 02:30 PM

i've checked out futureshop, radio shack, etc...but all they have are 6 feet cables...and dealer doesn't have it...where else can i get a short one?

Why dont you get Monstercable...
it charges and play... That's what i am using..
check out monstercable on the web.

bfung · 09-04-2007, 02:48 PM

u mean this one?

http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=4342

it's 7ft tho....i mean...the ipod would fit inside the armrest right nxt to the AUX jack...so the shorter the better

bfung: Get the mini to mini cable from Ultralink. I personally use this cable in the one meter version (3.28 ft.). It fits perfectly in the centre console with an ipod.

Check out www.ultralinkcables.com for a dealer listing in your area. I tried to paste a link to the actual item I am using, but for some reason it is not listed on their website.

The model number is #DIST-1M (Advanced Performance Series). It sells for $29.95 in my area.

radioshack, bestbuy, futureshop all have short 3ft cables. ive even seen a 1ft'r but its kinda pointless....doesnt allow you to take it out of the center armrest.

bfung · 09-05-2007, 03:34 PM

the prob is i have my sunglasses, cell fone, and ipod in my centre console...dat's y i want a short one so that things wun be 2 messy inside...

btw if i dun haf 6FL...i can only adjust the volume w/ my steering wheel but not selecting tracks rite?

i'm still mad at my CA for not properly explainin wat 6FL is when i picked my options...he just said it's uselss if u dun haf an ipod...never mentioned abt the availability of using a USB key

question to ipod users who dun have 6FL:
do u guys just have to flip open the armrest cover and turn the ipod wheel everytime u wanna select a diff track, since the steering wheel button wun work?
