Unless you've found that this card only works on your dashboard, it should function fine in your laptop inside the car. PCS should penetrate the roof of your car just fine.
Does anyone make a cable to extend a laptop "Type II PC Card Slot?
Want to put a Sprint card shown at this site http://www.sprint.com/business/products/phones/c201_connectionCards.jsp up on the dash of my vehicle.
Thank You,
