The only reason to wait for HW to make an adaptor is if nothing exists.
There is an easy way to find out if something works.
We need a sighted person to examine the back of our standard wall
adaptors.
There is an embossed square and a sticker which should contain specific
power specifications that the adaptor provides.
If we find a car adaptor which provides these specs, then we don't need to
depend on HW to make one.
Although I don't know this for sure, I suspect that the power specs for
the
BN are pretty standard. It would cost much much more if hw created a
system
with completely nonstandard power requirements.
So, the bottom line? Do the research, find something that works and MPower
yourself. Don't wait around for HW to create something they don't seem all
that interested in providing for their customer base.

That amount of money for a car adapter is grossly out of line for what is
needed. HumanWare could manufacture one and sell for less than 40 if they
felt inclined.

Hi folks,
I wonder whether any other configurable car adaptors will work.
What is so special about the Igo that allows them to charge $150.00
for
it?
Many years ago my father used to own a car adaptor which had a variable
voltage switch and removable tips and I don't think he paid that much; at
least I hope he didn't.
I've recently seen rechargable battery packs for portable DVD players.
They simply plug in to the power port for your car DVD. I didn't look too
closely to see if the tips were interchangable, but something like that
might work as well.

Hello,
I have accidentally put the wrong tip in when I was trying to figure out
the
right one at the store, and I had to perform a reset.
This is all I had to do, it did not harm the unit.
It is very easy to figure out what tip is for what device, and if you go
to
the Sendero website, you can see what tips work for several of the
devices,
such as the braillenote, gps.

This is an excellent idea, but I would offer the following
caveat.
If your unit were under warranty, and you inadvertently set the I
Go
incorrectly and subsequently damaged your unit, you would in all
probability have to pay for the repairs.

Hello Jay,
There is a product called the i go and you can purchase it from Radio
Shack.
It cost about $159 and the way it works, is that you will need to match
up the tip numbers with the devices you want it to charge, like the
braillenote is a 4 and so forth.
It comes with a charger that plugs into the wall outlet, a car charger
that can also be used on the airplane.
I hope this information helps it.

Hi,
I took a trip to Norfolk VA, and I used my GPS all the way. It worked
just great, but Having no car adapter, my Voicenote qwerty classic
used 83 percent of it's battery.
I feel strongly that there needs to be a car adapter for the
braillenote family of products.
