In May 2008 I installed an Alpine IDA-X001 receiver in my car.
I have a long USB cable running from the receiver to my glove compartment. A short black Alpine cable that has a USB to iPod dock connector plugs into that cable.
The dock connector has fallen apart. Different family members plug their iPods into the connector and in 3 months it has failed. An Apple USB to dock connector does not work; apparently the wiring is slightly different.
When I called Crutchfield, where I bought the unit, to get a replacement, they issued an RMA with free shipping both directions. Once they receive the old one I'll get a new one. Crutchfield does not stock the cable as a separate part. If another cable fails and the unit is out of warranty I want to be able to replace it.
I have searched the internet and can not find a vendor who sells it.
I want to know where can I order this cable as a replacement part.
