why dont you just extend from the composite end of the standard tv out cable?
composite cabling and adapters should be easy to get hold of!

If I recall correctly, the wiring Nokia used for the N900 TV out is not standard (probably put ground somewhere unusual), so you will need the cable that came with your N900. From there, RCA extension cables are very common.

Does the extension of the cable cause any image instability or is it still steady?

i cant even find extension cables for it
Note: I've (sadly) never even visited Australia, and I've no idea if Cable Chick is a good source. The site was simply a highly ranked hit on a quick Google search.

ipod video out cables are non-standard IIRC. Try connecting the colors backwards (i.e. yellow for audio, white for video).
The 3.5mm tv out on the n900 is the same as a 3.5mm camcorder cable. So if you can get a 3.5mm male-to-female camcorder cable that is another way to go.

I've lost all cables that came with my N900... :-(
