    I was planning on doing this same thing. I think it would be much cooler to have a laptop keyboard installed in your sunvisor than it is to lug around a wireless keyboard and mouse. I have a keyboard from a Dell Latitude CPx (also has the little eraser mouse in it) but it has a ribbon cable with about 20 wires on it and another ribbon with 4 wires (I assume this one is for the little mouse). I have no clue how the hell to go from 20 wires to 5 pins (USB or PS/2). This would be awesome though. Might have to settle for one of those thin roll-up keyboards though.
