My May build '09 997.2 actually came with this cable as standard (but the dealer didn't realize either) - so now I have a spare - anyone in the Boston area need one?

You are not dumb - the cable should describe its usage. I see that PAG found a workaround and not a solution. They bring the +5V pin from the USB connector. By doing so one cannot have an iPod and a flash drive connected simultaneously. Duh!
