Anyone have a cheap one laying around. I just need to plug the output of my ipod into my car stereo aux port.
Its just a standard 3.5mm headphone jumper. They come free in random things so just wondering if anyone has one laying around.
i have one that is 4 feet long
what do you want for it?

but I would recommend getting some sort of line out converter for your ipod for a lot better sound quality. something like this:
Quality isnt a huge deal. I got a work car and it has an AUX input and would rather use that instead of my FM transmitter to reduce the things I have to use. The standard system isnt that great anyway so I wouldn’t notice anyway.
but if it can sound a lot better for $10 (see the ebay auction) then why not.
i have a $10 fm transmitter that i cant really tell the difference in my personal car. i just want a $2 cable that goes from the head phone jack to the aux in on my work car. if i was pushing this through a tuned sound system then yea, i would go full quality on the output. for now tho since its a stock stereo i just want something cheap.
how about ease of use then?
if you just get the cable… you’ll have to adjust the volume on your ipod, then the radio. Then go into the EQ on the ipod and make it flat so that your not running the music through 2 separate EQs (the car’s radio’s eq and the ipod’s eq). Get it wrong and you’ll get tons of distortion / clipping and generally worse sound. You like to turn the music up on a nice day with the windows down? (insert: nod head), well with less distortion you can crank it up more!
the total difference in $$$$ here is one quality beer.
ok, I’m done, I’ll leave you alone to the ignorance is bliss.
alright good point. you win.
crap i had one laying around… if i can find it you can have it.
thanks. let me know.
Radio Shack. I have a couple of them (that I use, no you can’t one)
