R56 2008 USB iPod cable, Did they give you one?
#26
Okay, newbie who just got her MINI two days ago. (OB/B)
I'm guessing that in order to use my iPod in the MINI, there isn't something my iPod ALREADY came with that I can use to hook it up? Is that true?
Anyone know of a good inexpensive place to order to hookup cable if need be?
thanks!

Wow, that's a really short cable.
Why does the MINI need the 1/8" part of that at all? Can't it get the audio from the iPod over USB alone?
I was hoping to use a long iPod connector -> USB cable and run it up into the secret compartment to hide the iPod from view... now I wonder if that's even possible without ordering an expensive long M/F iPod connector extension cable from cablejive.

I know nothing about this stuff, so please tell me why you like this one.
That doesn't make sense for those with a USB port...

No, iPod does not allow digital audio output over USB. This was a calculated decision by Apple to prevent copying. A very few components (e.g. Alpine iDA-X001) can directly play Apple encoded music files retrieved over USB, but they use decoders specially licensed from Apple.
