USB Car Charger Adapter
 
Does anyone know how to make USB Car Apapters work with the N9? It tells me not enough power from USB to charge device.

its the last picture, looks just like the first one though.

Not sure if this will help but

Input:12-24V DC
Output: 5.0V-1,000mA

Is it meant for Apple iDevice charging?

If so, then the reason it does not charge your device is because Apple uses different method of identifying a device on the USB bus as dummy charger. You need a special cable or a breakout box so that your N9 recognizes the charger correctly.

FWIW, I bought the black variant in a local pound shop and am successfully using it with my N900. Unlike my original car adapter that came with it, but I blame the USB-port-about-to-break syndrome for the latter.

I'm not sure if it was made specifically for an iphone but it just stated usb adapter.

It says current output is 1A but it really isn't. Use original Nokia car chargers. I had no issue with them.

I've used one that looks like the first picture with both a blackberry and Nokia USB wire and both my N9&N900 have charged successfully.

The power not enough message has flashed a few times before but a few seconds later it usually charges promptly. It could have been a loose wire to be blamed or the USB port on my devices at fault...

I believe somewhere on the forum is already an answer why is so, also with a quick & dirty hack (google smth like "car charger USB hack" -- dissassemble charger and connect middle wires; note that might be more easy to modify USB CABLE that connects charger and device).

I have 3 useless (at least for N900, N9 and E7) car chargers, from very cheap (5 EUR) to not so cheap (15 EUR) and finally gave up and bought original nokia DC-20 (dual USB charger). Besides beeing big (in height) works perfect!

I'm not that good with dissemble and assembly. But does the dual USB charger from Nokia work?

my home charger is rated 1200ma /1.2 a maybe you need a little higher output? I think too high though may hurt battery life.

You can make an adapter for your car chargers if you have problems.

That way N9 regognises non-standard car chargers as valid ones. Basicly you just make usb adapter with D+ and D- short circuited.

No it wont, the N9 will only draw the current it requires to charge.

When N9 notices short circuit in D+ D- it will charge upto 1A, and when it detects computer on the other end it will charge max 500mA.
And when it doesnt detect, then it charges 0.

Ah, I kind of thought it would draw a minimal current in that case, something like 50mA or 100mA.
Makes sense though it does not take anything, as 50mA charging current is unusable anyway :D

So will all usb charger adapters do this?

No, some usb charger adapters have d+ and d- short circuited by default and some don't, so you have to see it yourself.

Or just buy one, and add short circuit adapter with d+ d- circuited

I'm not able to change it.

ah yes, if you dont have any friends with soldering skills, then its a dice game.

You can always try something like this as most likely it will work if you choose Nokia model.

Since I've been shown the dual charger thats what I'm looking for now :( lol do they offer it?

Re: USB Car Charger Adapter
 
So after trying 5 chargers in a row none worked except "1"

http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/70...70_500X500.jpg
thing is only worked if 1 thing is plugged in which is a rip off plus it costs as much as the nokia charger so might as well go with the company I trust ;)
