The aftermarket unit dealer should have (or be able to get) and extension, if he can't or doesn't know what you are talking about, walk away as you don't want a dummy working on your car.
I can't speak for the USA but here in the UK the 5m extension leads are approx £40 (about $80), and they transfer all the required wires/pins and looms (for speakers, antenna etc), up front.
