+# SD card extension
+For convenience a SD extension cable can be used to place the card in a better accessible way. A 25 cm cable is recommend.
+
+You can use both types of cables:
+
+* microSD card – microSD card
+* microSD card – SD card
+
+![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/toniebox-reverse-engineering/toniebox/master/pics/sd_extension_cable.jpg)
+
+## Tools needed:
+- Philips (PH0) and flat screwdrivers
+- flat screwdriver
+- soldering station or cutter
+- double sided foam tape (made for outside use since they are the strongest)
+- cutting pliers
+- extension cable - minimum 25 cm long 
+
+## Step 1: Preparing the extension cable
+
+- Remove the plastic casing of the female end of the cable (where the card has to be inserted)
+- Remove one resistor on the slot's PCB (marked in red) using either a soldering station or a cutter (more risky)
+

+![](https://github.com/danieldur/toniebox/blob/master/pics/microSD-extension-cable/pic02.jpg)
+
+- Cut the corners of the PCB. Do not cut more than the holes allow as there are electrical traces nearby.
+

+![](https://github.com/danieldur/toniebox/blob/master/pics/microSD-extension-cable/pic04.jpg)
+
+## Step 2: Open the Toniebox
+
+I won't go into too many details at this step. I believe the following Youtube videos will give all the needed info: https://youtu.be/GOZRjaEhrcQ & https://youtu.be/eiMxkXM8YDs
+In order to avoid damaging the PCB, disconnect the battery.
+
+## Step 3: Connecting the extension cable to the mainboard
+
+This part might be a bit tricky on older boards since these ones have a capacitor that sits a few mm in front of the microSD slot. 
+
+![](https://github.com/danieldur/toniebox/blob/master/pics/microSD-extension-cable/pic05.jpg)
+
+Because the male end of the extension cable is not flexible, inserting it in the microSD slot is a matter of force. Before inserting the extension cable it is advisable to check the position of the latch in open and closed state, in order to get a feeling about how much it has to be pushed.
+
+- Open the slot by pushing it towards the capacitor
+- Take the original card out and replace it with the extension cable
+- Close the microSD slot and simultaneously press with one finger on the latch while locking it into place with a flat screwdriver or a fingernail.
+![](https://github.com/danieldur/toniebox/blob/master/pics/microSD-extension-cable/pic09.jpg)
+
+## Step 4: Glue the new microSD slot in an accessible place
+
+- Take as much tape as you feel comfortable (I could have probably added double as much) and stick one side to the cable's microSD slot.
+- Glue the slot between the two screw holes on the battery holder, making sure that it sits as close to the edge as possible.

+![](https://github.com/danieldur/toniebox/blob/master/pics/microSD-extension-cable/pic12.jpg)
+
+## Alternative Step 4: Make the card slot more accesible
+
+- In order to make the slot reach the very edge of the battery holder, some have cut two small slits into the walls of the screw guides. I wanted to keep my box 100% original so I skipped this step.

+![](https://github.com/danieldur/toniebox/blob/master/pics/microSD-extension-cable/pic14.jpg)
+
+## Step 5: Start putting the box back
+
+- Start by twisting the extension cable in such a way that it could stay between the PCB and the battery holder.
+- Screw together the battery holder, the board and the white holder. 
+- Make sure the cable sits comfortably under the battery holder
+
+![](https://github.com/danieldur/toniebox/blob/master/pics/microSD-extension-cable/pic15.jpg)
+
+- Power on the box and test that the box recognizes the microSD card
+Make sure to never touch the battery release latch, as this will partially detach the microSD slot.
+
+![](https://github.com/danieldur/toniebox/blob/master/pics/microSD-extension-cable/pic16.jpg)
+
+Step 6: Finish putting the box back and test again
+
+- Just make sure that the microSD card is reachable with a set of tweezers and you can comfortably remove and put back the card. Be careful not to drop the card inside the box.
