This iPod 3.5mm to Dock Connector Audio Cable allows you to play music from your iPod through your AUX connection, computer, or notebook. The dock connector sends line level audio out from your iPod, providing better sound quality then when using the headphone jack. The dock connector also allows you to control the volume of your iPod through your stereo or computer instead of having to adjust the volume on the iPod. This cable works with all iPods with a dock connector, and the lightweight construction makes it easy to take it anywhere you go.

- Connect your iPod to your AUX in connection, home stereo, computer, or laptop
- Dock connector produces line-level audio providing better sound quality then using the iPod headphone jack
- Light-weight construction is ideal for travel
- 48" cable length
- Compatible with all iPods that feature a dock connector



Does anyone know where they sell this locally?

[infamouskid]

the source.
apple store.

[Spinoza]

Are you sure about that?

I went to that apple store at College and Spadina today, they didnt have it.

[loybond]

Chinese replicas are available on eBay, and the same products can be found at all those cell phone stores scattered around the GTA, as well as in flea markets.

[Spinoza]

Would this be what Im looking for?

p.s. If you guys know any specific places that would be great. I hate just random going to stores looking for things. Actually thats what I was doing all day when I was trying to find this cable.

2 options..
why not just use the headphone out?, and set the volume to the middle and leave it alone.
2nd, you can buy an apple dock, all ive seen have line outs.

1. headphone out is amped... so it means its been "filtered" once and if it goes into another receiver, it will be amped again. making the audio more distorted
2. apple dock wont connect ur line out to a 3.5 jack. u need something like the picture that op posted.

:arrowu:

Any other toronto based forums I can ask this on?

There is no apple store there. Did you try the real apple store yet?

[jason9945]

Since I'm in a good mood I did some research for you...

Nyko Stereo Link for iPod
$29.95


http://www.carbonation.com/sales/ipod1.html

Carbon Computing has them on their web site. Enjoy.

That one has RCA's on the end, but you can use an adaptor.

OR
Look for a Pocket Dock, and then just use a 1/8 to 1/8 cable.

Docks have a 3.5 jack on them though.

Yeah i dont want the RCA one, Im looking for something like the pic posted.

I was thinking about the dock, I wonder if it would give me the same quality.

Why wouldnt it?

Or a pocket dock.

[Ojam]

Well I don't have the other to compare it too, but I find it give good quality. Plus the one I use came with the remote so you can control the music from across the room.

[Spinoza]

How much is the dock? like 50 bucks right?

idk, it been about 3 years since I bought it. My first ipod came with one, and I think I got the complete AV kit the second time, so I currently have two. One is hooked up to my PC, the other to my stereo.

[Cough]

The advantage of the dock is that you can play videos out as well as audio. Some IPOds (eg Nano2 for sure) wont send video out unless they detect an authorized apple chip (which is included in the dock)

[Spinoza]

I dont really care about movies as this will be mainly for the car.

To be honest the wire would probably be the best option as opposed to the dock. I want it to look clean, and easily concealable. When i installed my aux imput cable, I made it so the wire comes through the sun glass holder.


This is how it looks now, which is perfect for me....except I want the sound quality the cable I posted will give me.

Its such a shame that in a big city like Toronto, its impossible to find such a wire.

[jason9945]

My only suggestion would be this https://www.expansys.ca/p.aspx?i=111993

On the plus side you would be able to use a black cable with it.

[Spinoza]

Im looking for a dock to 3.5mm aux cable, not a dock to firewire jack.

It has a 3.5mm jack on it, as I mentioned before, and you dont appear to be having much luck finding anything else in Toronto.

Maybe its the wrong link. But this is what i see.

http://i.expansys.com/i/l/l111993.jpg

One side looks like the the Dock connector, and the other side looks like the port for a firewire cable. Haha and no im not having any luck, I also cant find my credit card so I cant order online. :( But yeah thanks for all the suggestions guys I appreciate it.

That's what I use, plus a stand. There is a 3.5mm jack on the adapter for audio out, and I use a short, maybe 15cm cable to plug in. Big big stores should have them.

Apparently they come in a version with only a firewire cable port, oops. That one has a line out.

Carbon should be able to order it, if they dont stock them. Same with any mac dealer.

[Spinoza]

aaaah thanks alot bro, ill check it out the day after tommorow. Oh Merry Christmas.

[Spinoza]

looks like that cable is not compatable with the iphone.

I guess im gonna have to bite the bullet and get the dice ipod kit

If you know how to solder, try this:

iPhone LOD pinout: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/does-anyone-have-iphone-lod-pinout-308093/

cheap dock connectors: http://home.swipnet.se/ridax/connector.htm



I made one for my iTouch nice and cheap. Not sure if the same pins apply to the iPhone, but for the iTouch 2G tying pin 11 to ground (15) worked.
