Re: Snooper advice?
It will need a conversion because of the voltage differences. Car = 12V DC. USB = 5V DC . Will need a resistor on Pin 1 to 'drop' the voltage.

I was thinking that as the usb was going to be used, he could use the supplied converter to plug it in.

Re: Snooper advice?
Damn you boys really trying hard to give Sanj a new job, not sure I want to go down that path to be honest, not ideal but it does have it's advantages being portable. If it bugs be in the long term then maybe a consideration.
The converter in question is a 12v USB plug but it just like cig lighter, no leads or anything, so would mean breaking that apart too.

Re: Snooper advice?
Nope, you could put an inline lighter socket somewhere so that you could un plug the lead to update from the laptop.
Just a thought, wouldn't want Sanj getting bored

Re: Snooper advice?
Just had a thought about one of the issues I have, which is when I get back home I forget to turn it off, so I just added my home as a POI so I'll get an annoying beep as I get home and hopefully that will remind me to turn it off
