how do you control your carputers then? i was thinking of just using basically the scroll function off a mouse and use it by iself so i can just scroll up and down in in itunes with it and then perhaps relocate some buttons onto somewhere. You would not have to use the 'mouse' all the time.
Im a little confused with your statement about the remove the 5v pin. Are you saying that i basically stop the external devices being powerd by the computer and power them straight from the battery. ?
Im still not sure about this hole automatic sleep/wake thing. Will i need to hard wire in a timer or something?
