Ok, I've searched and cant figure out what the deal is with Mitsubishi not putting in a simple aux to aux cable so you can easily hook up your droid of iphone to the stereo instead of using an RCA to aux cable.
The shortest RCA cable I could find was 6 feet!

What is everyone using?

 

zip ties are your friend

i just snacked through the amount i needed through my iphone charger zip tied the slack

 

Try Cables-to-go.. they have a 1.5ft 3.5mm to RCA (LINK), and even a super-short 6" cable (LINK). They also make a 3ft one as well, and just about every other audio or video connection you could possibly imagine.

You can get them directly from Cablestogo.com and sometimes from Amazon.com ..buying them from Amazon comes in handy if you're buying something else and just need another cheap item to make their $25 free shipping deal. It's just kinda stupid having to pay $5 to $10 just to ship out a cable that only costs $5-$10.

Found the 1.5ft one at Amazon (LINK), but not the 6-inch one.

 

radioshack has short to long rca's.....pretty cheap too
