Default 3.5 mm right angle connectors for iPod

I searched but couldn't find the thread mentioning the need for 3.5 mm right angle connectors for iPods to the stock aux input on the head unit. Just thought I'd share with you guys this link to an eBay store that has all of them. He carries lengths from 2 ft. to 25 ft. and has right angle and straight connections. I got one form him and it arrived to the east coast from AZ in 1 day.

I searched high and low for those when I first got my Jeep. I checked every Radio Shack, Walmart, Best Buy, etc... I was going to use the jack for my plug-and-play Sirius receiver and all I could find was straight connectors. I ended up buying a new factory head unit with the Sirius receiver because I did not want a wire running and could not find a place I like to mount the p-n-p receiver. Good to know that the right angle connectors are available though.

I found this while slummin' at the local Walmart...

It comes with a few things that most won't use but it does have a 3.5mm cable and 3.5mm right angle adapter. Only $20.

Awesome. I just opened this forum to find an old thread that talked about these cables - and this was the first post. Nice timing. Thanks a bunch for posting.

++ I have a regular plain old 3.5mm 3ft cable from ratshack and it works like a champ.

You don't need right angle connectors they just mount more flush to the radio. I just put in a Sirius receiver using the straight connectors and I will most likely get the right angles because I don't like how the straights stick out of the radio.
