92 bucks, haha, digi port no thanks. i got one from my work at circuit city, its just a kensington K33141 for like 30 bucks. 4 port usb, with a front cover that comes off with screws. I plan on using that in the dash, where my ashtray is in my passat, as well as mounting a couple other connector like a 1/8" audio-mini connector.
What i really like about this model is that the DC plug connection is right on the back of the unit. And this, unlike some other basic models sold in retail stores, this one comes with the ac/dc power supply. That way i can take power connector right out from behind the dash.
i don't have it where i am right now, im gonna double check for you, but i am pretty damn sure that it was 5 Volts.

this is the unit PocketHub USB 2.0

I like the idea of having an audio input as well.

I was just looking at them before comming back to the forums to ask questions..lol.. so heres my question.. with the one call DIGI PORT.. do you think I would be able to hook that up to my 12v power (ciggy lighter spot) or what should I use?

nobb

I'm looking to add a usb hub too, but too lazy to build a regulator so Id rather run it off the +5v or ideally the +12v from my psu. ebay has some 4 port powered hubs for under $15 shipped.

epugh

So, it seems like someone could make a fortune selling a cheap 12 volt - 5 volt converter and a usb hub and making it all one box...

I am thinking of using one of those 12 volt - XX volt converters, and then plugging that into a hub, but that seems like such a crummy solution. But would cost me under 14 bucks..

Is Digi really the only provider of a 12 volt powered USB hub???

If you're looking for more specific dc info you should check out the library of congress in Washington District of Columbia. It could provide lots of engineering information and specific specs. Also, the downtown dc public library in Washington District of Columbia.

Good luck,

Umm... Is Allen a computer?
So I am looking for a USB hub for the dash. PC is powered by an M2-ATX in the trunk. I would rather not run 4 USB cables the length of the car. Maybe USB and a 5v power cable off the M2 ATX run to the dash to a 5v powered hub? Need to connect USB at the dashboard- Liilput, USB stick, OBDII, and keyboard. All others I can run from the trunk. Is it better to run 3 cables, or get the hub?
I have a Chinese hub (cheap) 5v from ebay and can post result in the car soon.
