    Hey guys, just a question.

    I wanted to get an aux cable for my ipod so i can hook it up to the car speakers. and i heard it ran around $50.

    But as i was searching i found this one for $150!!
    https://www.mitsubishiparts.com/product ... cts_id/471

    But then i found another for like $38
    http://www.mitsubishiparts.net/catalog/?section=565

    im just wondering why there's such a huge price gap?
    they're both from mitsubishi parts, only difference is .net and .com

    i was wondering if someone can explain that to me, and if the $38 is legit

    Yeah there are different dealerships that charge different prices. Don't really know why. But I know that the one sold on the .net website is legit. They are also an authorized mitsubishi dealership.

    well I would call ur local dealer with the part #, but this is what Im thinking:

    $38 is for ur standard ipod cable that does NOT allow u to control ipod thru ur stereo controls and is on sale.

    $150 probably allows u 2 not only allows u to hear ur ipod thru ur stereo but also lets u control it

    and if so then i wanna get it.

    let us know, but i'm pretty sure it's the same cable either way. i got the 38 dollar one about 3 months ago and love it so far. wish i could have integrated it, that would kick a**

    i do no think if you get the $150 cable you will be able to change songs throughout the head unit but i bet you will be able to charge it and listen as well.

    the aux cable is strictly music only


    i have the aux cable myself

    you can go to best buy and buy one for $10.

    It doesnt make a difference man, its just a dumb cable...

    no it does make a difference. that cable plugs into the back of the wiring harness and ends up wiring in like it was there to begin with. Its not just a standard cable.

    As long as you dont want to control your Ipod get the 38 dollar one. I bought mine though the dealer and thats what I paid. If you need help hooking it up let me know.
