  1. Hi. I?셫 building a windows 10 tablet into my car. I need a device that I can plug a BMW IDRIVE CONTROLLER 9320288 into a usb so I can use it to control the tablet. I would also need a line that I can connect a ignition live to so it will wake the tablet up and when ignition live is cut the tablet goes back to sleep. Is this something you could help me with? Obviously I would pay for your help thanks from Pete uk
