I'd expect the cable in question would just be providing 12v charging capability, in which case particlewave is correct any power lead should do. One key difference to consider though is that certain 12v leads are always on (such as the one leading to the yellow plug) and certain other ones are on when the ignition is engaged (such as the power leads to the extra cd-changer and *likely* the cellphone adaptor). I'm not 100% sure about that last one.
The head unit is tied into the alarm system in these cars so certain parts of its circuitry always receive power from the car's battery.
