when the plug is inserted in a jack, how long is the exposed part of the plug? I need one to fit in a tight area.

about a 1 1/2 inches but you will need more space because the cable is thick also. You need at least 1 3/4 of space.

When I plugged it (one end into TV and the other into home theater) it kinda snapped into place. After I took the rubber protectors off I just plugged in and it worked fine.

Your are correct about the length of the cable. I found it to be too short for my use and DIYed a cable. You can find a longer headphone cable but you must ensure that it has the appropriate 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo plug with extended shaft, similar to what you will find for portable music players or cell phones. The end connecting to the left side must be the type that will insert into the recessed connection, like the extended shaft on this Amphenol plug: http://www.mouser.ie/ProductDetail/Amphenol-Audio/KS3PC-AU/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMumZtdVBplilw2%2fibSMC4t6

If you refer to the 'inside diameter' (ID) of the female plug, seems to be 2.5mm (or 3/32").

cord initiates out the bottom closer to the right front of the unit.. Cord is 34" in length, plug included..

There is a "stopper" on the cord which leaves about 12 inches of cord plus the plug exposed. In all honesty, I seldom retract the cord. I figured it would be a part that wears out quickly, so I just coil the cord.

It is a skinny flat divided plug. Goes in pretty tight. I don't think a concern but if you've had issues with such plugs I'd be careful.

The INPUT jack on the front lower right corner of the unit is a 1/16th in.[male] stereo jack on the end of ~8in. cable. The OUTPUT plug on the front lower left corner of the unit is a 1/16th in.[female ]stereo plug.

Barbara, had you tried really, REALLY forcing the jack in? Since I've had mine in July it's gotten easier to put in but right out of the package it was a VERY hard snap to get it in. What I *thought* was "fully inserted" still had another approx. 3mm to go.

It's not a flat plug. I have those bubble type covers on my outdoor outlets and it barely closes. I think 2", as another user mentioned, is about right.

I will have to check when I get home. I actually cut the end off for the project. I installed a plug to match the factory, fused aux wiring on a motorcycle. I still have the plug end. I believe you unplug the connector and maybe unscrew the tip and the body will seperate in half lengthwise. Again, I will have to check.

As long as the plug is dry, it doesn't matter how deep you put it. The cord is about 3 feet long, I think.

I haven't fully measured it out, but if I were to take an educated guess, about a foot and a half. I drive a Dodge 04 Ram my plug in is at the bottom of my dashboard and I can set my phone on the console and it still hangs off a little. Hope this helps

I installed it behind a mirror so I can't get to it to measure but it was like 3/4 inch after plugged in. Also add some for the outlet it's self. All together it should be about an inch. Hope that helps.

How many inches from lighter to aux plug? Where can I but the extension and what is it called?

Mine go in about 3/4 of the way. Everything seems to work OK. I think it is a matter of the wide point of the jack making good contact with the receptacle, which is true in my case. I used the Cable Matters plugs: Cable Matters 7 Pairs, Closed Screw Banana Plugs for Speaker Cable

Mine was 16" to the end of the plug. I bought it on May 5, 2009. Lucky you, I just happened to be installing a new hard drive yesterday so while the machine was powered off and case opened, I measured for you. Unlucky for you, either folks are "misremebering" or the length varies.

there is a plug that is attached to a lead that is approximately one and a half inches. I clipped the plug off and soldered to the leads directly
