You can buy a 90* Mini-B to USB cable for like 6 dollars somewhere and it will fit, mine works well.... I tried to find where I bought it on amazon in my history but it didnt come up. I guess I bought it from somewhere else but I didnt get the 25 dollar one. The 90* needs to be the right direction though, I cant help cause I cant find the dang paperwork.

Fairly sure this was the one I got Aaron

Amazon.com: StarTech.com Mini USB Cable - A to Right Angle Mini B - 6 Feet (USB2HABM6RA): Electronics Amazon.com: StarTech.com Mini USB Cable - A to Right Angle Mini B - 6 Feet (USB2HABM6RA): Electronics

Pretty sure (95%) that is the 90* going the right way and is that one I bought. Plugs into the chip. Chip goes into the PCM and installed. I coiled the Extra cord and zip tied under the dash. Plug into laptop with Hydrahelp to upload new tunes right in the truck, no 25 dollar cord needed.
