Brent,
Contact some of the radio sellers - Universal i believe might be able 
to help.  The Wireman comes to mind - principally he would deal in 
coax and its connectors but perhaps could be of help.  And perhaps 
people you contact could make suggestions.  i am not sure that the 
iPhone plug is proprietary - if not it should be available and the 
other pieces are very much out there.
Hope this helps.
