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

Among my mini & micro USB devices, I have a Motorola RAZR that I want to
charge in my 2.1 Amp USB car cigarette adapter.
Everything charges with this setup EXCEPT the Motorola RAZR V3.
Digging into why, apparently Motorola uses a 5-wire cable instead of
a 4 wire cable.
How do I find a 5-wire USB2.0-to-mini-USB cable?
Googling, I find tons of cables, but none SAY how many wires they have.

If it works with the V3, it's only because the CABLE works with

the V3 because the Motorola Razr is NOT standard USB even though
the connector LOOKs like a mini-USB connector.

<http://dx.com/p/mini-usb-power-connector-for-moto-v3-32583> which they
no longer sell. It modifies the Mini USB connector so the phone will
charge from a standard Mini USB charger or USB-A to Mini-USB cable. I've
used these successfully.
If you could find a Mini USB cable with five wires you could modify it
as described at
<http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-A-N/razrv3_charger_pinout.shtml> but
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).
