Computer/Audio GURUS help wanted!!!
So im trying to install an ipod shuffle into my car. Im looking for a certain adapter that i cant seem to find ANYWHERE.
Anyone know where I can buy a 3.5mm to 3.5mm 90degree adapter? I dont need a cord, just a short little adapter that makes a 90.
someone has got to know, ive looked EVERYWHERE!!!
Oh and ill pay you good if you can make one for me =)

I've seen the 3.5mm female to 3.5mm female connector only (no wire) at radio shack before but I haven't been there in a while. If you can't find it there, you can try Guitar Center. They have a bunch of adapters/cables

what exactly are u trying to do?
are u just trying to plug one end into the aux port on ur car and the other into the headphone jack of ur shuffle? i assume u are, so just be careful b/c that port can get stressed supporting the weight of ur ipod.

Ok UPDATE!!!
This is what im trying to accomplish:
The new Ipod Shuffle (ULTRA SMALL AND LIGHTWEIGHT BY THE WAY) has no way to control volume or track controls without an adapter (or the oem headphones). The problem is, when you hook up the adapter, it only has a FEMALE OUT. My Aux Input in the car is FEMALE. YES i could hook up a male to male aux wire but i would like to keep the connection as short as possible to keep the clutter down and the eye sore.
So basically this is what it will look like in a weird text picture thing
Shuffle female< <male------Adapter------female< <male-----90degree-------male> >female aux jack
that probably made zero sense but thats why I need the short 90 degree male to male haha
I tried to solder two connectors together to make a short connection and........ IT WORKED!!! Its just not pretty at all. And I really would like to get a decent looking setup because I really dont want to ghetto rig this car.
Any ideas? Or anybody else really good at soldering? My hands are too shaky to be that intricate

dont bother with frys or radeo shack. they are worthless. You can find everything you need at either Jamco or Halted (HSC Electronics) but you will spend a little time sorting through stuff there... just google them for their online catalogue. They are here in San Jose/Sunnyvale area. If that all fails I could build you one for a small fee.
