L-shaped stereo plug to Male-stereo plug?

So I have my AUX port mounted in the empty toggle switch location (where the US rear fog would have been on 2003 MCS). The stereo Male:Male cable I have, the plug sticks out too much for my liking, does anyone know where I can source a L-shaped (it's a 90* angle) Male stereo plug on one end to a normal stereo plug on the other end?

I've checked Radio Shack and they have one with the L-shape stereo plug on one end but has RCA Left/Right on the other end. They do sell an adapter that turns it 90*, which is a last resort.

Thanks.

What is a "normal stereo plug"?

I know what you mean because I am searching for the same cable. Just a male/male short cable with standard stereo headphone plugs on both end but one in a 90 degree angle so it looks nice on my PDA. I can't find it anywhere. The plugs exist, i've seen them on headphones.

Not this then


You could buy something like item F here, then solder another plug on the wire end.

Thanks Ian

So the item from the link you provided is what I want on one end, the other end is just a straight 3.5mm male stereo plug. I've found a simliar item in your link at Radio Shack for $3.49; but I'm trying not to buy that if I can find a pre-made cable.

"normal stereo plug" ... I was trying to avoid typing "straight male plug"

So my best suggestion so far is item F on the Mouser page, soldered to a straight 3.5mm plug (like item D).
Go PM or email if you need my assistance with that - but I seem to think someone called NullTTY can cope

I think I visited about ten stores and searched the internet for an evening, but didn't find that cable mentioned here. So I made one myself with seperate parts from the electronics store. Look for yourself what looks best :

I'm guessing I should not say "the yellow one"


Good job!

Found a product called Zip-LinQ, http://www.ziplinq.com/retractable-cable-audio.html

However, at $14.99, it's way out of the price range I was looking for.

Berthil,
What is that sweet looking media player software you're using on your ipaq?

It's the best MP3 player software for PocketPC called PocketMusic. I have created the MINI skin myself, looks great in the Mini. It even support the 480x640 VGA resolution if you have a VGA PDA, I have created a day and night skin in both resolutions. I also created a skin for Windows Media Player 9, but only in VGA. This does not look good though, because WMP has an unskinnable title and bottom bar. I have put up all the info on my website, including free downloads:
