Default Excellent iPod connector

For those with an iPod and a Lexus LS460, I highly recommend these:

BoxWave connector

The dock connector is a digital output, so it gives the best possible sound quality for the LS's amazing sound system.

If you add a $5 Radio Shack adapter to convert the two RCA plugs to the mini stereo jack used by the LS, you'll get a huge improvement in sound compared to the adapters that use the iPod's analog headphone output. The retractable feature is nice too - when you're not using it, just give it a tug and the cords wind up inside the small chassis eliminating a tangle of wires in your storage compartment.

Does anyone make an adapter that connects to the ipod dock on one end and has the 1/8" minijack on the other end, so that you don't have to buy the Radio Shack cable to do the conversion?
