yeh thats pretty cheap. i paid almost $100 for genuine Alpine stacker -> rca cables. And around $80 for JVC adapters.

thanks guys, any reccomendations about trusting something from hong kong that isnt genuine alpine as opposed to genuine from WA for the sake of $20ish dollars?

for $20 extra, it'll last twice as long.

up to you, $20 or so is 2 non-genuine cables as opposed to 1 genuine. All basically gets made in the same place, same stuff :)

yeah but what has more going on, a controller, or a cable with 2 ends, one USB, one for the ipod? just as long as its fast (should be) and joined together properly, i'd take it over genuine

didnt bother with the cheaper one, for the sake of $20 i couldnt be bothered waiting a week longer and getting an almost certainely inferior product, plus the other one has a warranty.

depends on how much u play with your ipod.
mine lives in centre console and sees light of day when i occasionally take it out to put some new cds on it.

go the cheapest, HK delivery actually is the same timing if not faster than local.. the EMS service is bloody fantastic. lets face it.. a cable is a cable
