Don’t mess with the U S B

I learned an important lesson this weekend while equipping the mobile transportation unit with a hook up for the iPod. Don’t cut a USB cable and plan to reconnect the wires. They are very small and a good portion of life could be spent on this task. Amazingly enough everything worked after the procedure. A wire stripper that works with small wires would have been nice though. Thanks Angad and Maks for the useful car / stereo links.

Why did you have to cut the USB cable?

On one side was a big box and the other the largest connector for an iPod I have ever seen. I wanted the connector to be inside of a drawer thing and I didn’t want to cut a hole big enough for the connector to fit through. If I had to do it again I would just cut a big hole as it wouldn’t be visible.
