extusb extension cord

Geekers,
Have any of you come across an extension cord for extusb? I am looking to setup my TP so when i plug it in to my car it looks half way decent.

Instead of having wires running from my radio/usb port on the radio through the all-in-one that came with the TP to the actual phone, I would rather hide all of that mess in the glove box/dash board and just have the extusb extension cord run from a hidden location, to my phone.

Thanks,
Drizz

Re: extusb extension cord

Well, if I am following your request correctly, a simple Google search of "mini usb extension cable" yielded these results.

Here is one for $12.20 on eBay:

Re: extusb extension cord

i also posted about this kind of cord some time ago...
it didnt seem that anyone had any information regarding it.

the only problem with using a regular usb-type extension cable is it doesnt have the extra pins for audio, etc. that the htc proprietary accessories use. in short, the all-in-one adapter would only be able to pass through charging capabilities. so these mini usb extensions are a dead end...

we will just have to wait for an 11pin version.

I would assume HTC would be the ones to ask; if i am not mistaken they are the "creators" of extusb. I will poke around on their website and see if i can find a way to request such a cord and let you know when I get info.
