Nope, I just checked their site and I couldn't find one. I know they have them in store, I saw one when I was there a couple weeks ago.

What do you want it for? If you want to use it to make an aux input in a car and hook it directly to the speakers, it won't work. (and I thought you meant what bic posted, so disregard what I said about them being at Radioshack)

So you want to send an unamplified line-level audio signal to 8-10" speakers? Yeah, good luck with that. :lol:

If you want a line input jack on your car, you'll have to patch into the head unit's motherboard somewhere. (It varies depending on the stereo.) It would probably be easier to buy a whole new stereo, or if that's a bit out of your budget, get an FM transmitter that plugs into the lighter outlet.
