A couple of months ago I sat into my car, turned it on and using my 5th Gen. 30gb iPod Video I started playing some music. Within a couple of minutes, I noticed that my Dension cradle was smoking. I immediately disconnected the cable entirely and removed it from my car.

Since then I've been looking to replace it with another cable and for some reason I can't find an 8-pin cable to save my life.

Here are some pictures:

The 9-pin cradle I accidentally ordered:

So, I need an 8-pin and I'm trying to get rid of this 9-pin (might try to return it, if anyone wants it, PM me).

Can anyone help me find the cradle I need? I've spent a while looking, and all of the options that definitely work end up costing $60...and I don't think that I can listen to mainstream radio music for another day.\

Could this one work? The only reason I've been putting this one off as an option is because the shipping costs more than the item itself...

Did you ever sort this out?

Did you get the Dension BT unit? And if so, does it work with OEM Nav? What are your thoughts on it? From what I gathered, the correct one is GBL3BM4 for OEM Nav but does it include the long cable to route to the back of the car?
