Use these and any other instructions at your own risk. If you fry your computer or anything else, it your problem not mine!
Until i get my center console squared away and finish up my motorized keyboard, I wanted some input solution to start playing with the carpc.
I came across the Dreamgear Minikey keyboard for the PS2 on MP3Car.com. Basically a tiny usb keyboard.

So I look around at the various USB retractable extension cables. They all seem the same, so I head to the RadioShack down the street and pick one up.
