Thanks Doug, but the parallel combo gets me closer. That said, i just ordered a 50pk of 1% MF for $2 shipped.
I traded my '09 Accord in last week for the same thing only 2011... the sales guy (who I like and have dealt with for a couple of years now) saw my custom Mogami cable I had made for my ipod to the Aux jack in the other car, and asked where I had gotten it. When I told him i made it, he asked me if I could make him one for his iphone to an aux jack. After doing a bit of reading, i realized that he would be better served with a dock cable. Since I had a spare dock connector around, and some Canare, I decided to go that route. Hence the need for the resistor, but also didn't want to order something from Digikey or Mouser.
