    I am preparing for installing my carputer but I have one concern. I want to bring a usb extension cable from the trunk to the driver seat of the car.

    Now my question is how easy is this to do and how do I do it?

    You may have problems with the length of the cable. You're limited to 5m. However, a car is a much noisier environment (electrically), so you probably have to go shorter.

    USB.org - FAQ: Cables, Connectors, and Networking

    Logistically, it's easy. You can pull the panels off of the door runners and put the wire in there. There's already various other wires going front to back.

    I bought an Active USB Extension Cable of 16 feet by Tripp Lite which has very good reviews on Amazon.
