I have an AM radio in my 65 Barracuda that I've upgraded with an Aurora Design FMC-1 FM tuner. This upgrade also includes an auxiliary input that I'm planning to use with my MP3 player. The radio shop will add a couple of RCA female jacks for the auxiliary input and I need to get a cable with male RCA plugs on one end and a 3.5mm plug on the other.
My MP3 player (a smart phone) has a built-in FM tuner that uses the headphone cord as the FM antenna. While it's redundant to have both, I thought it might be more convenient sometimes to leave my radio in auxiliary mode and use the phone's FM tuner instead.
When I search for suitable adapter cables, I see that they are generally available multiples of 1m and a 1m would be a good fit in my application. Would there be any advantage with respect to FM reception by using a 2m adapter cable instead?
