Can't find an MP3 Cable. Can you help?

[wcc]

I'm looking for a cable that will plug into the headphone jack of the MP3 player and the AUX on my car's headunit. I've found tons of them but not one that will work, yet. It MUST have a 90deg bend at least on one end. That is my only requirement because the straight ones won't fit for what I'm doing.

Any idea where I might be able to get one of these?

i've never seen audio cables, stereo jack to dual cinch with a 90 degree bend at the phones plug
think your best bet would be to make one, from a defunct headphone

although that's not so easy since those headphones have wires the thickness of a hair

the only jack to cinch i've ever seen with a 90 degree bend, was an AV cable, not stereo
one jack, with 3 cinch plugs... and i have no idea how the wiring was

Should be a standard cable. Nothing special. Stupid question but did you make sure the head unit is in AUX mode?

Radio Shack sells 90deg adaptors for mini plugs. I use if for my satellite radio connection so the cable doesn't stick out and bend.

Good call on radio shack. I didn't even think of them. I'll give them a shot. Well my radio currently doesn't even have a AUX input yet. I've created a mount for my MP3 player in the car but as is sits I can't use a straight plug. It MUST be at a 90 like in this picture at least on one end. I'm going to replace my head unit and I don't want to install a cassette player type to make this work.

The tip should look like this:


Here's my player installed but like I said the straight plugs won't work but the 90 deg bend will. This pic is with the cassette adapter:
