Well, I just got the pxa-h100 with plans to install it tomorrow - in the trunk. After opening the box and seeing the woefully inadequate cable supplied (only six feet), my plans have been stalled. My question is, what cable do i need? Is it a regular Ai net cable? Are there different ones? From some of my research online, there seems to be one for data transfer and one to control cd changers, so i am assuming the one for data must be right, but I would like to confirm this before I buy. I tried phoning the tech line but they are not open till Monday
This is one of of Ebay that I found - will this work?

yep that's what you need. Ai net cables are all the same, just different lengths.

Thanks Veeman. Once I get the cable I can put the unit in the "boot". Very disappointed in Alpine that they would supply such a short cable. Thanks once again.

no problem. I hate that Alpine would give those short cables, knowing full well that 90% of the customers will be installing in the trunk. That is one of the advantages of the ai-net...one ai net cable to the trunk, instead of 3 long rca cables. A 6ft cable is just a cash grab, as they know you'll have to buy an 18 ft cable for $60.00.
