Cable Advice, Please?
Folks,
I'm preparing to install my new Kenwood H-U in my 2005 Z and would like some advice/suggestions.
The unit has two 3.5mm A/V inputs in the rear. Should I use a standard 3.5mm male to female extension cable, or from my research there are also 4 pole connector/cables that are available.
Will the 4 pole make any difference or even be needed for say connecting an iPod or similar device?
Thanks for any help.

Methinks you should go with the 4-pole version since it can handle audio and video. You are plugging this into an A/V jack...

Four- and five-conductor versions of the 3.5 mm plug are used for certain applications. A four-conductor version is often used in compact camcorders and portable media players, and sometimes also in laptop computers and smartphones, providing stereo sound plus a video signal. Proprietary interfaces using both four- and five-conductor versions exist, where the extra conductors are used to supply power for accessories. The four-conductor 3.5 mm plug is also used as a speaker-microphone connector on handheld amateur radio transceivers from Yaesu[6] and on some mobile phones – see below for details.
