I noticed that in my cars mitsubishi eclipse and nissan versa hatchback that if the n900 is strapped to the ceiling of the cars I get a very good reception. But I have to figure out a way to run the charger cable. Would it be possible to use a 8 foot usb extension cable to get the length I need to hide the cable? I think the max length to transmit data is what about 15 feet without having to boost the signal? But i will be just supplying power. I'll figure something out.
