Car RCAs are physically the same as home RCAs. The trouble here is you won't find any cables that are really shielded. RCAs only have two conductors - Signal and Signal Ground. That makes proper shielding a technical impossibility.

You will likely find a coaxial style cable for interconnects with a stranded center conductor and a woven shield - the woven part acts as the Signal Ground conductor. It also brings any shield noise onto the Signal Ground - this isn't optimal for obvious reasons.

Please forgive me if there's some other standard used for grounding in car systems.


Take a look here for excellent info about this.
