Modified Nokia DT900 wireless charger for use in the car (pics added)

Looks good again thanks. Just realized you missed second part of my first question. Which fuse did you tap into (radio ACC ect..) and what amp was it

Actually I'm not sure what I tapped into. I was just looking for a "hot" that wasn't ignition controlled. It is a 10 amp (used a 20 amp fuse because it was all I had at the time.I have replace with a 10amp since).

Nice job on the install - thanks for sharing! I'm about to do a similar install on mine.

Regarding the +12VDC connection, have you run into any problems with the charger hiccupping on the voltage, since the normal voltage on the car is ~14VDC with the engine on? For most accessories I would expect it to be fine -- but I'd hate to be greeted with the blinking white light on the charger.

ladies and gentlemen drum roll please, after a long search, I seem to have found a car adapter for the DT-900.
The part number I found is the Nokia DC-4, it looks exactly the same, I ordered one today and will test.

No, I have not experienced any issues with the voltage.

Great find, Ben! Please update the thread once the adapter has arrived and you've had a chance to test.

Hello Ben, did the DC-4 adapter work?

 

[ivankan]

Did it work? I would like to know as well

My DC-4 car charger just arrived - it does not fit the DT900 wireless charger. Just an FYI so no one else has to spend the $5!

Cut the end off the wire, separated the ground and hot. Connected via standard wire splice connector Blue Wire Splice Connectors Stock Photo 39451615 : Shutterstock that comes with the fuse tap Fuse Tap/Holder by COOPER BUSSMANN - Fuse Blocks by Zoro Tools Industrial Supplies . Looks very clean in that once I put the fuse box cover on you can no longer see it.

So you connected the hot to the splice connector on the fuse tap, but what did you do with the ground?

Grounded it.
