Q
How long is this cable? How long is the extension?

The KCU-461iV consists of 11" iPod A/V cable, and a 5' A/V minijack extension cable

I have an Audi S4 and am able to reach the back seat with the extension cables provided. Guessing I think it's about 4-5 feet. If you require more length then it will be a simple trip to the local computer store to buy a longer extension cable for the usb and stereo 1/8" jack.

However the extension is only for the 3.5 mm jack. I had to buy a usb extension also. It all depends on your setup.

The cable is 1 foot. The extension is 3 foot.

The extension that goes in the back of the radio is about 5 feet and the part with the 30 pin onbit is 12 inches. Plenty of length to reach a center console or glove box
