I have a bad feeling the car will be in a shop for a couple of weeks to fix it all up, looking at quite a bit of $ here, but oh well it still works so can't complain to much, still a fun car nonetheless

Buy same ones from fs or walmart, and then pull a switcharoo and return the broken ones.

Sad to hear about that. You should be more caution when buying from craigslist. It's a good lesson for you for a cheap price. I'm sure you wont make that mistake again.

They are Microsoft branded. Thing is mine is Arcade and doesn't come with components...so if they ask for a serial or anything I wouldn't know what to say.
And maybe somebody here knows the guy. His name is Dennis and he's vietnamese lol. I know it's vague but PM me if it rings a bell and we can see if the phone number matches.

Doesn't that place on main across VW have HDMI/component cables for really cheap?
Haven't been there in a while and the place is run by white people now I heard, but I'd pay them a visit and check out their prices first, I got my aux cables for my car from them for around $2  | |
