    Where can I get a short one of these ?

    I only need one that's a couple of inches long but the shortest I've seen so far is 1m, I only need it to connect an iPod/Mp3 player to the female phono sockets in the car so the shorter the better, a couple of inches would be ideal.

    Cheers.

    1.0m is the shortest length you will probably come across off the shelf i'd say.
    Unless you are handy with a soldering iron? In which case just buy the connectors and some screened cable from either maplins or peats and make the lead whatever length you like!

    One of these

    and two of these (doesn't make any difference what colour really)

    and a short length of screened cable

    actually be cheaper to make your own too and very easy!!

    Cheers Homer, was never great with the soldering iron, never had the patience with it, probably one of the reasons in abandoning Electronic Engineering in college at one stage.

    I ended up picking up a cheapo 1.2 metre one yesterday, the wires aren't too thick so I can leave it wrapped up as it came in the box so it doesn't take up too much room. The 1 metre they had would took up more space as it was of better quality.
