wouldn't there be a way to just build a standard rj-45 connecter without the locking pin into the sled so that it would slot into the existing ethernet port? the only problem would be the "wobble" that the car docking connector has in order to allow for a little movement on insertion, but it doesn't seem too hard to do.
