I have a similar request. I only want the audio and usb charge cables. My goal is to only need one single cable to plug into my iphone when I get into my car. If I buy one of these AV cables will it disable the iphone screen while plugged in?

more details:
I have a 2008 BMW 335i that supports the iphone. Two problems though. 1) when you plug into the BMW cable, the iphone screen is disabled and you can only control it through the Car's idrive screen. (which isnt great, and also doesnt allow me to play non itunes stuff) and 2) the bmw cable is only like 12 inches long. I want to use my custom iphone holder I have between the vents. I want one single cable with a 30 pin connection on one side and usb + mini jack (or RCA cables I can convert to mini jack) on the other end.

Is it possible to find something that works?

even more details:
I had an idea to use a normal USB extention cable, and normal mini jack connection. I then split the USB cable open and cut the data wires. (leaving USB 5 volt power only) This kind of works, but for some reason the iphone wont charge, even though it shows a charge signal! (so I've given up this method)

Anyone, anyone?
