Default HELP! Ipod2Car wire ruined

The wife took my car to work a few days ago and had to move the seat up closer to the wheel. As she did this, my Ipod was pinned between the seat and the center console. As a result, the "head" or the connector was ripped off the wire. The connector is still plugged into my Ipod and my Ipod is fine.

Question: Anyone know where I can get a replacement wire? It is the very long one that goes from the bottom of the ipod to the Ipod2car unit.

Thanks!

Complete guess here.... get an iPod synch cable cut it and splice it to the wires. The wires running TO the iPod should all be the same.

This *MIGHT* be the correct cable:

http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1295

It appears that there was a change made at some point in the adapter box/connector. Please read the page carefully and check out the pictures to see if you have a matching plug.

The good news is that if this cable works it will charge the newer iPods.

Thanks for the link... as luck has it... I have the larger 8-pin plug... Mine is not compatible with that wire... but it is almost exactly what I need. I need to get this remedied. I had no idea how much I would miss my ipod while driving and I refuse to go back to an FM modulator!
