Default Mounting input jack. Please help finding part.

I have an Alpine HU, I bought this adapter on ebay so i can plug in a laptop, dvd player, mp3 player, etc. But I don't want to have this cable dangling around. I want to mount a input jack inside the center console or inside the ashtray and keep so it looks nice and clean, where could i get a jack like this and is there any jack that i can just plug into on one end and have a jack on the other end (sort of like a coupling, but with threads and a ring so i could attach it to a panel) or will i pretty much have to cut the end of my plug and slpice into the jack.

this is the part i bought.

I think I know what you're asking...

The only thing I can think of is mounting two of something like this in a hidden place (ash tray area, center console, glove box...) then using the headphone plug to rca adapter cord to plug whatever gizmo you have into your car.

You could just use a standard rca stereo cable that dangles in a well hidden area when it isn't being used. Under or behind a seat, in the center console or glove box, even in the stock cup holder.

Good luck
