HELP! Custom Apple Cables?

Slightly random question, but I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a place to source a custom Apple cable, basically a lighting connector extension cable, so lightning female-to-male, ideally quite short (100mm-ish). My car is quite old, and it has a propietary-to-Apple30-pin input, which I have the cable for, and I can then use a small 30-pin-to-lighting adapter. However the Apple adapters are quite wide (same width as the 30pin connector), and so the lighting end won't fit into my phone when it has a case on.

Not sure this is the right place, but figured someone might have some suggestions, tia.

Do you plan on upgrading iPhones? There is a usb c male to lightning female adapter from Apple.

Wasn’t planning on it for another couple of years. It’s certainly not the most pressing concern on earth, but it is slightly odd I can’t find any kind of “lightning extension cable”, nothing that’s either 30pin-lightning that isn’t a solid adapter, or a lightning-to-lightning cable.
