The in-car ethernet docking solution was invented years ago, and several of us have it working without the need for dangling patch cables and whatnot!

I *might* even still have my master copy of it around someplace.. If I do, I could run off a dozen or so for others who want it.

It's a properly sized and notched piece of MDF, which attaches with two screws at the back using only existing cutouts in the factory sleds, and provides automatic docking to the ethernet connector when a player is in the sled.

The connection on the back is a short length of CAT5 with a male connector on it. A standard female-to-female dongle can be used to convert that back to a socket, in the same way as is done in my home docks.
