Does anyone know if a db-9 to usb cable will work to connect to the rrm piggyback, or What cable will work to connect the piggyback to a laptop?

 

That's exactly the cable you use.

 

Is the db-9 end of the cable a male or female connection for the piggyback.

 

male, unless I've got them mixed up in my head.

 

hey otter is dan correct on the db-9 connection being a male.

 

the cable is male, is what I meant.

but I've never been able to remember the difference in/out blah blah.

 

thanks for the info dan

 

yeah, i'll try and figure out which is which and verify it for you, but I think that's it. whatever cable has the pins on it plugs into the socket on the piggyback (has holes in it, assuming this is why it's female )

 

The end of the cable that plugs into the piggy is male. Has to have pins, not holes.

Dan, it's the pins that determine gender, not the plug.

I just left the DB-9 cable plugged in to my piggy when I installed it up inside my dashboard. The cable comes down out of the dash and follows the center console toward the rear, and comes out next to the passenger seat. When I'm not using the cable, it stays coiled up under the seat.

 

yeah, piggyback has holes, cable has pins. confusing as hell to me, why thanks for the clarification though.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I've got a cable on the way.

 

Time to retake sex ed, Dan. Females have "holes" and males have "pins."

 

Awwwwwwww.... Otter do you have a pin? Thats no fun for your gf

 

 

that was pretty good.


yeah, but the casing around the pins always ****s me up I over analyze it

I'll bet now that it's on teh intarwebz for everyone to see I'll start remembering
