No, I simply have sometimes to fiddle the cable into the neo before starting the engine. It would be very nice if there are two contacts in the size of the small fingernail. Then one simply need to 'clip' it into a housing with counterpart contacts. The USB cable therefore is in the clip housing and it should have mounting device similar to those swan neg navigarion holder. Then the original device could be replaced by this device. Maybe someone could use blender to design such a device. I am only capable to design the electronics using KICAD. Another option would be a Wing drawing to be used as a electronic part for KICAD. I don't know if anyone has done similar parts to appear more like a housing.

I know that the OpenMoko adapter for the Neo has a resistor built-in to make detection possible. I wonder how easy/hard it would be to a) Have another standard R for '500 mA' defined in the software, and B) To fiddle an R in somewhere to let the Neo auto-detact 500 mA (if it's not connected to a USB bus). I haven an in-car adapter, with a USB port, that can source up to 650 mA, but I need to tell my Neo to charge at 500mA 'by hand' now... I have a 2 Ampere Cigarette adapter from my gas station near my home. It started working with a standard USB A - B cable and no extra resistor. As of the price sign it is a kombase 'USB-Ladestecker'. EAN: 4260098010084 It costs ~ 15.95 €. But I am unsure you get the same. I have tried and succeeded.

Good idea for other things - Was: Homemade USB gamepad (NeoPlay)
Hi, it is an interesting idea, but also it would be a starting point to create additional power contacts to the adapter. Then a simple charging housing could be created to get rid of my troubles in my car adapter. I always need to fiddle the USB cable into the neo and this could then avoided. What about such an adapter? Lothar Am 08.12.2009 um 20:04 schrieb ANT: Hello! I developed a USB gamepad addon for Openmoko phones. It is tiny and thin. The electronical part is based on Raphaël Assénat's [1] USB game controller with 12 inputs [2] and uses the same firmware.
