Great cable

"I purchased this cable to connect my portable music player to the AUX input in my Saab.

"Anyone who has a bad review for this must have bought the wrong component. Complaining about the length is absurd since you had other options. This is perfect for the AUX port of a car. Also people complain that the ends aren't marked, thats because it doesn't matter which end you use. If you need s …"  Read Full Review »
