I found some on ebay...
Any link? I couldnt find it. My ideal solution would be a car craddle with charger. I wasnt going to use my shift as gps navigator because I was happy with my kaiser-sygic but I ve fallen with shift-sygic. shif's 3d accelerator make sygic to fly. I ve a universal car mounting system but I am waiting for a specific one for shift....
Anyone had any luck finding a car charger?
I think it will possible attack directly to car 12 v out...
I want to do a test

Should work if it will take somewhat "dirty" power. Car power ranges from 11 to about 15v depending on rpm and power draw.

Hi!
Does anyone have this car-charger here? Just want to have one with a USB port so that I don't have another cable!
Any suggestions for a good car charger like this?

Not too sure that it matters which one you get, so long as its standard USB out. I use one and change both the HD and also an iPod from it (at different times)
works a treat. Though, I think that HTC have their own plug which has a different wiring allowing for a faster charge.
Thanks for answering.
I see, the HTC charger is described as "fast charging device". Hm, now I have to decide wheter to have an additional cable or not.

Sorry, the link doesn't seem to be complete
Just a note/warning.
I have one of the generic car-to-usb port adapters where I use a normal USB lead and I use Tomtom on my HD and I have bluetooth enabled all the time for my car handsfree. When I use Tomtom and plug the phone in, it doesnt charge the phone, but the battery doesnt go down either. It seems that the charger I have can only just power the device with the screen/backlight always on, bluetooth and GPS. When I'm not using Tomtom and I turn the screen off when its plugged in to the car adapter it will charge the phone.
I dont have the specs to hand but from memory I think it outputs 5.2v at 1000mah, I'm going to have a look at the mains adapter I got with the phone and see what the rating is on there and look for something with a little more juice!
Car charger
I use one from www.brodit.com
The one with the cigarette lighter outlet.
Just navigate to HTC and Touch HD in the 'Devices' menu on the left.
edit: You will have to choose 'Products' from the top menu first.
I use an generic USB-Car-Adapter and the original HTC USB cable. This config will load the phone slowly when turned off, but doesn't deliver enough power if IGO2008 is running.
When the phone is fully charged and I have plugged it that way in the car, The phone is empty after about 5 hours. When not plugged, it takes about 2 hours to fully drain the battery (when IGO2008 and therefore GPS is running).
Please advice me what car adapter I can use that will give me enough power to navigate indefinitely.
Thanks
EDIT: I just found out, that my USB-Adapter has the specification of max. 500mA, The original HTC Charger has max. 2A. So I just gotta buy me a charger with 2A and it will probably work.

It should do as it provides 1 Amp. Normal car adapters only provide half an amp (500mA) and struggle with a Touch HD that is running Sat-Nav etc.

This is correct, It charges my 3GS 30%+ on a 30 minute journey with Navigon running.
I gues the official HTC car adapter must kick out more than 500mA as i never had issues charging with Satnav running.

For 1/5 of the price of the Belkin you can also order one from Hongkong.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.688
It delivers 1000 mA and only costs $2.58.
Shipping takes about 2 weeks i guess, i ordered mine 7 days ago and I got an e-mail it is shipped and will arrive in approximately 7 working days from today.

I use a Tomtom one as I know the quality is excellent and it is properly regulated. It has a 1A output and charges fine with loads running on the phone, including the display at full brightness.
Also the charger should have the two data pins connected to each other as the phone sees this and lets its charging circuit pull the full 1 Amp, it does this to protect against overloading a USB socket on a PC or hub, those only give a maximum of 500mA.
Hi kaefert, how hot does your phone get while running GPS and car charger? Just curious. My 8282 is extremely hot.
Mine gets quite hot with charging and Tomtom, but not so hot as I would worry much!
Kinda bothers me that the unit only charges via an AC Adapter, I was hoping it would charge through the mini usb. Anyone know of a way to get a spare. I'm already dreading being without this GTab if the charger breaks.
I'm not at my tab right now but I looked at the adapter once before and saw m630 (or something like that) on the back. When I google'd it I found a kodak m630 for like $14.

I measured the output of the power adapter supplied and it was around 18V open circuit and definitely AC despite the center positive symbol on the back of the wall wart. Can you confirm that the 12V DC center positive adapter charges the tablet. I would love to buy a car adapter for this for when I travel. Thanks.

The ZT-180 uses a 9V 2A power supply. The g-tablet uses 12V 2A. These are not compatible.
Don't know if this one has been posted, but here is the exact power supply:
http://shop.accessory4you.com/05-chanpin/p-001-1.asp?id=2388
On a related note: When I was looking for a PSU for my ZT-180, a co-worker gave me one from a broken portable DVD player (9V 2A). He also gave me the automobile adapter that came with the portable DVD player. It is rated at 12V 2A. I'm not sure why the different ratings for the same device, but I didn't even want to try it on the ZT-180.
It looks like it may work on the g-tablet, but I'm afraid to try it. I don't know the model DVD player it came from, but I'll ask the guy who gave it to me. He went deer hunting, so I won't see him until after Thanksgiving.
EDIT: It looks like Radio Shack has an automobile adapter that MAY work with the g-tablet.

I'm not sure what it was you were measuring. A 12V DC PSU measures at 18V AC ?
Mine measures 12.28V DC. In AC mode my meter doesn't even get a read from the power supply.

That is different from what most of us have. Where did you purchase it from?
Of all places Sears Market place. Woold not reommend them thouugh.
Just received "Tomtom Navigator 6 GPS Kit". Didn't test it yet as GPS, still charging.
What I noticed that it comes with the car charger that completely compatible with G-Tab. Connector size and 12V, 2A center positive.
Just to let people know who are looking for the car charger for the Tab.
Have you tried it yet?
I have one that someone gave me, from a broken portable DVD player. It also is rated 12V 2A, but I am afraid to try it.
The weird thing is that they also gave me the wall wart for the same DVD player, and it is rated at 9V 2.2A. That works perfectly for my ZT-180 tablet.

Tested Bluetooth GPS unit with G-tab... Works perfect on GAdam 1.1.1.
As of charger, I'll give it a shot later on. Will post the results.

I haven't tried my DVD car charger either because even though it fits, it has a sticker on it that says "Do not use for battery recharging".
SORRY!!!
Made an a$$ of myself.
Have to read more careful... That was input 12V, 2A... Although the plug is the right size.
Unfortunately output is 5V, 2A that does not charge the Tab....
So.... Went to Walmart and bought an inverter: "Philips" model DVDP32.
It charges Tab using regular A/C plug supplied with G-tab.
Price $20.
Now can use the Tab as GPS without draining the battery.
glad that the tomtom gps works!
may I ask which navigation software you use?
I'm still looking for a good one.
hopefully a nice affordable offline nav app...
This is great to know.

Intend to use CoPilot live 8.
Great GPS, have one on my HD2, windows thou.
Nice part is that you're not dependent on any connection, WiFi or 3G.
All maps are pre-loaded and updates coming regularly. It's nice to have it on the phone, but screen is small comparing to G-Tab. Otherwise NA edition costs only $19 right now, discounted from usual $26.

thanks for the tip as well as the deal tip.
but I can't find copilot on my market. (read somewhere that certain apps may not show up if hardware specs aren't fulfilled)
so hopefully I'll be able to find it before the sale ends.
I downloaded CoPilot Live 8 from market.android.com . The US version is only $4.95 and it works great for me with BlueGPS on my Gtab. I am running VegaN 5.1
Got to Radio Shack and get a 12V auto adapter, they sell one that has changeable tips. There is nothing magic about the charger 12V 2A DC that's it.

As long as that won't fry the tablet in the long run, sounds like an excellent idea.
Keep in mind that cars run about 13v to 14.6v, so unless the car adapter is already doing some regulation it might be higher than 12v. Personally, to be safe, I would get a cheap auto adapter, crack it open, put a voltage regulator inside to drop it down to something closer to the charger voltage, which IIRC is 7.4v (correct me if I am wrong) The factory charger is 12v 2a, so probably the charger is exactly perfect. But then again, I'm a belt and suspenders kinda guy.
Does anyone know if it is actually fine/good to charge it off 12v? Or is it one of those things that works fine but in a few months will end up frying the internal voltage regulator for the charging circuit because it got too hot or was just at the limit of its capabilities from running at 12v?
Too bad the device wont charge over USB...

I know, really wish it did... also wish that it had micro USB, not mini.
Now if only I could open it up and set up the USB power to raise up to the charging voltage and connect that to the charger. I doubt it has the room though. Anyone have pics of the inside?

If the auto adapter says that it has an output of 12V 2A, then that is what it will usually output. You can check the voltage fairly easily.

You're wrong.
It is 12V 2A, I don't know where you got your information from. Why don't you just look at the specs on the power supply?

Was under the impression he was using one of the adapters that just gave you power from the car but had no form of voltage control and just a fuse. I had a friend fry a Garmin with a cheap '12 v' adapter that was just fused, so just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the correction, I just didn't have a charger near me to check when I posted. But now I feel a lot better about car charging.
I've been looking for a car charger for my incoming tab, I'll have to check out the shack.
The cheapo' ones from places like monopice or merit line bleed off extra voltage via heat, so they are easy to fry. A good charger that has the proper regulator circuitry to output at it's given rating should not get warm when used.

I agree I have changed all of my plugs from mini usb to micro now. =/
Found one
Radio Shack has a 12v 2A charger with interchangable tips. The "B" tip is the one that fits, and I confirm it working. I am an idiot and didn't realize that the tip connections are polarized so I thought the charger was broken at first. Make sure to have the word "TIP" on the connector line up with the "INPUT" on the actual charger.
well..you guys are somewhat right and somewhat wrong.
the 12VDC on a car can be anywhere from 11VDC (engine off, battery low) to 14.5VDC.
Careful with some of the plugs. If they are not regulated, it's just a voltage divider resistor in the power stage and may not be current limited.
On the other hand, if it is current limited, and the tablet starts pulling 2A from a 500mA (most cell chargers) plug, you'll let out the magic smoke that makes it work.
I've got it on the docket to do a true regulated 12VDC / 2A charger as well. I'll see if I can get some cheapies and do some testing to show you guys what I'm talking about but I need to get a small controllable load.

I read a post here somewhere (dev forum maybe for i9100, fun with resistors thread) that the phone limits itself to 750mA when it charges. So you can use this car charger and it should be ok. I have a verizon charger that has a spare USB port on it, and the phone charges just fine. Only issue I have is the alternator noise that's put out the headphone jack when I am using the car charger. But I have some ways around that I think.
I was using a 1A charger that was giving me digitizer issues so bad that I couldn't complete my unlock pattern. I bought a new charger from AT&T that doesn't have the problem, but it doesn't say anywhere what its output current is.
This is the one I bought: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...0245&q_categoryid=cat1370027#fbid=UMdBTv5CnSG

Yep, you need at least a 2 Ampere charger.
I used a bog standard 0.5A charger first in the car and the tablet ran out of juice after a few hours. Then I found a 3 Ampere car charger at a fuel station shop and now it runs fine.
I bought a USB-to-Mediapad power connector cable from some german online store to connect the car charger to the tablet. As we all now charging via the micro-usb port does not work.

The microUSB port does charge but it is a slow trickle. I can get it from empty to 100% if I plug it into a microUSB charger overnight, but if I need to boost it as fast as possible it has to use the charge port.
