I am sure somone has manufactured or kludged a stubby connector for the ipod... All the plugs I have found seem extend at least .75" beyond the case. Looking for a plug which is 1)stubby and 2) has leads extending toward the rear or sides versus the bottom as is typical of most plugs.

Any hints?

me too.

anyone??

Why not just buy the smallest connetors (S/T) and from Ridax and simply drill a hole on the bottom/top of the connector?

drilling a hole in the bottom for leads is certainly a good option, but would be great if plug itself were smaller as well. I am ordering a couple different plugs to experiment with: trim/alter plastic case with different wire route. will keep all posted. thanks for the responses!!

I hacked a connector a while back to do exactly what you are describing.
It made a nice low clearance interconnect for my ipod, and even worked for about a month!

I have ordered 3 different styles from Ridax too. I am going to try drilling out the side for a 90 degree mount. will post if it works
