Do they make a Motorola RAZR 5-pin USB 2.0 to mini-USB cable?

If you could find a Mini USB cable with five wires you could modify it

you're unlikely to find such a cable unless you cut one off of a
Motorola compatible car charger (not sure if the resistor is inside the
Mini USB plug or inside the charger).
I was worried about that RESISTOR!
Nobody mentioned it, but you - but I did see the resistor in the original
specification!
So, can you confirm that simply getting a 5-pin cable won't help. Right?
That's correct. But it's the wrong question. The USB-A side is only four
pins so a cable with a five pin Mini-USB plug will have only four wires,
there's just no place for the fifth wire to connect. Unless it's a cable
specifically designed to solve the Motorola problem.
On the Motorola chargers, it's a five wire cable into the charger where
the resistor is located.
Try this cable: http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/5974.
It has to be a 5-pin cable with the Motorola-sized RESISTOR in it, right?
