calling any electronics or car audio experts..(Mr. Bipes? :))
OK, I've decided the safest way to go about being able to have my CD changer *and* phatbox available in the car (for the times when I stop at a store and buy a CD, and want to listen to it immediately rather than wait until getting home and ripping it to the phatbox) is to just manually unplug the phatbox and then plug in the changer. This is really not a big deal, especially if I just leave the connectors accessable in the changer compartment area.
The problem is, the cables are not even close to being long enough, of course. So I need (3) 13-pin DIN cables, with male on one end and female on the other. I cannot find something like this *anywhere*. They need to be at least 2 feet long (preferably one of them would be 3-4 feet, as I'm mounting the phatbox in the trunk). The best I can find is at www.autotoys.com, but it is a harness cable (ie, one end has stripped wires).
Does *anyone* have any idea where I could just find a simple extension cable? I searched google for about an hour last night, and the best I could come up with was a package that had a long cable, but I had to buy an actual panasonic changer to get the cable. I wasn't keen on spending 200$ per cable and having 3 extra CD changers afterwards. I even tried Panasonic's online store, but no luck.
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.
