Default Zune cable with RCA's?

Is there a cable that attaches to the bottom port on the Zune that has RCA's on the other end that I can then plug into my head unit in my truck? I would rather use the power from the amp in the head unit than the earphone jack which drains the battery and less audio quality.

you can charge it using the Zune sync cable port and any of the cables that plug into it. as for the headphone jack, probably not, tho there is a cable for that.

Amazon Amazon

I don't know offhand if there are plain cables the connect to the sync port, but any AV dock for Zune will have RCA out.

Just a Zune av dock will do, find a neat spot to mount it and hook er up, that's what my cousin did with his zhd

So I guess this would work but I need at usb connector to combing the sync cable and usb/rca.

I don't want the dock part of my setup in the car. If my old ZEn can do it the Zune surely can.

Also where is the best place to buy official Zune cables and car charger?

No. The USB signals are digital. You need analog outputs. Get an aux to RCA cable. Aux goes into the headphone port on the zune, and RCA goes into the head unit.
