Grid Programming Cable
Misplaced my cable.

Is USB to micro B the right cable?

Thanks,

Yes. Commonly used in a lot of Android phone chargers. Look around, you may have an extra that you didn't know you even had.

I do have 1 or 2 lying around. $4 on Amazon. I need a longer one anyway. Thanks!

No problem. I use this as an extension. I can see my laptop easier in my trailer than outside in the sun.

I see it's discontinued but you may be able to find something similar.

I dont like the idea of plugging in and unplugging from the grid all the time. If you damage the port, I understand they can't be fixed. So, I bought the following for $13 for my car and mounted it in the aluminum dash. Now I don't have to dig around under the dash trying to insert the micro into the grid.
