Aux cable, where to buy???

k-man · 01-24-2007, 11:32 PM

I'm just wondering where you guys are buying your aux cables??

I'm looking to buy a good cable for my civic locally in Ottawa. I've found a couple around but all I seen are 6ft long, way too long. Im looking for something around 3ft max....

So far ive checked out the source by CC, futureshop, best buy and wal-mart. All have 6ft cables, no smaller. Ive looked online, there is a 3ft monster cable but I cant seem to find it locally.

What kind of cables are you guys getting? and where?

thanks

I got my monster cable on ebay for around $6. It's a six foot one though, but that's because I have an aftermarket head unit and need a quality cable because the AUX input is in the back.

I've never been ab le to find anything smalled than 6 ft. I usually just zip tied it or electrical taped the slack and tucked it away.

walmart sells the generic ones for cheap, around $4. but they poop out on you easily

Well, I bought mine at Future Shop or Best Buy, I can't remember. It's long, but I don't think it's exactly 6 feet.. All I did was rig it up with some tape and such so it's not dangling or in the way... maybe it looks a little ghetto, but it works

Same here with the 6ft thing. Its probably the shortest generic length you can buy. I'm sure if you went to a stereo shop, for a price they could custom make one in any length you wanted.

Did the future shop thing (ugh). I just kept the twist tie on mine.. I hide the cable elsewhere when I'm not using it. I wouldn't mind trying to figure out a better way to route it so it's barely visible sometime.

Radio Shack for me. 3 ft.

^ Yes - Radio Shack has them.

We don't have many Radio Shacks left in Canada. They are now The Source and they only sold 6ft cables.

I'll be doing a project this saturday so i can completely hide the aux cable from view when it's not in use. I'm going to run underneath the center console and into the armrest.

I may do a diy on this and post a new thread.

and here's a 3 ft cable on eBay Canada:

I found a 6 inch aux cable on ebay. I think its the shortest out there and its the perfect lenght for my 06 Si. It shipped from Japan $10 to my door.

Hope that helps
