How long is the usb/charging cable? Can it be run around the frame of the windshield, or does it just hang down in the middle of your view?

I just bought this product. The cable that goes from the unit to the cigarette lighter is approximately 9 feet long. It will easily fit in the middle of your windshield and be able to tuck the cord around the top of the windshield, down the side, and under the floor mat into the center console area.

The cable is 9.5 feet long. There is plenty of cable to run from the camera, over the passenger sunshade, down the windshield post, across the dashboard to the power outlet(cigarette lighter). You can make any variations to how you want it for making the cable temporary or permanent. You don't want it to get in the way of the passenger in the front seat.

It's about two-and-a-half or three feet - not enough to run around the edge of the windshield. It hangs down, but I do not find it particularly obtrusive.

Mine came with 2 cables. One is the 3ft or so USB cable.It also came with a 12V car adapter that has a mini-USB tip on the end. This one seems to be about the 9ft that others have mentioned.

The cable that comes with this is not long enough to run around the outside perimeter of the windshield.

I checked the length of the cable - It's actually 6ft and is more than sufficient if you're going to dash mount your GPS.

Can be placed in the front or the rear. I figured just to reduce clutter I would put it in the rear port and see how signal was. I can usually get about 10 feet away from my car before it cuts out. It usually connects to the car in less than 30 seconds when I get back in. So, yeah, you can put it in the USB port out front, but why? I love having that port as another place to charge from.

1) It doesn't attach to the dash. It plugs into the cigarette lighter. It is on an approx 12 inch stiff cable. you can twist and bend the cable to see the monitor and the stiffness of the cable holds that position.2) I don't know the exact viewing angle of the camera, but with the trailer attached and the camera on the handle of my pickup tailgate, I can see the bumper and ball/trailer hitch at the bottom, the trailer at the top and the just see the side of the trailer side to side. Very adequate field of view.

This is about the only issue I have with the frame. The cord is only about 3 - 4 feet long. It barely reaches from the top of my desk to the power strip sitting on the floor directly under the frame.

Yes to the "car charger" and Yes to the windshield mount. It does not come with a usb for a computer. It also has a "disc" that has very sticky glue that you can put on the dash and then use the windshield mount on the smooth side surface. Most people don't use that as it creates a mess and hard to get clean if you want to remove the disc.

has a charging cable with it but it just has the pad that sets on the dash. I bought a window mount at a piolt for $20.

When not deployed (collapsed) it extends about an inch from the windshield post. The unit is about an 1 1/4 inches thick. After installing it really doesn't impair your view while driving (collapsed). You get used to it being in place after awhile. This is without a doubt a perfect solution to shading a windshield. First time passengers always comment on it.

Yes. It is maybe 3 or 4 feet long. I keep my glasses on top of my computer, and the USB cable runs to the back and plugs in. Charged glasses last a really long time - many many hours. jack

the entire cable is 50 inches and it forks off to the usb for about 15 of those inches. The unit is amazing for the price. I've used it for 2 years.

About 2.5 inches. I put mine on my driver window above the mirror. My dash is awkward too.

I am not exactly sure about the length. But the cable is pretty lengthly so that You can mount on the driver side.

There is a USB cable attached to the back of the system. I believe it is around 1.5 - 2 feet long (maybe more it has been some time since I had mine out) and is easily routed to most places around the drivers area. If you wanted it "mounted" you would need a flush mount USB attachment or something. PAC USBCBL 6-Feet USB Cable with Mounting Bracket

Mine is exactly 6 feet long. I measured it. I'd say a little short considering you have to hook it up at a window level but luckily I have an outlet right by the window.

It has a long cable in order to put the camera on the rear window (with autoadhesive)

The cord is about 3' long and it is coiled. Works great and stays mounted to my windshield unlike my old one.
