Alpine iPod cable

Just wondering, is there a difference between the original Alpine cable and other non-Alpine cables?

I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/HIGH-SPEED-ALPINE-IPOD-CONTROL-CABLE-INTERFACE-KCE-422I_W0QQitemZ320181966898QQihZ011QQcategoryZ60208QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Just wondering if the quality is the same and the signal would be the same as the Alpine...or if anyone has the original ipod cable and willing to sell let me know.

I highly doubt you'll be able to tell the diff. I'd say go for whichever is least expensive.

That's probably from the same OEM supplier that Alpine uses, i.e. exact same cable without the Alpine label.
