    When I bought my W3V a couple months back I ordered a car adapter with it. It was an additional $100 or so, but I felt it could be useful.

    I kept it in its plastic packaging seeing as how I didn't need it right away. However, recently, when I opened it up I noticed there was something (possibly) wrong with it. That being I have no clue how to connect it to my W3V. If you look at the connector it's very different than the one the AC uses to plug into the W3V. This making me wish I opened it up and trying it out right away.

    So basically my question is: How do I connect this do my W3V? Do I need to buy some connector for it?

    I scanned the adapter into my computer to give you guys a look at it. I don't have a decent digital camera so this was my only option. I hope I've attached the image ok, since I'm a forum newb.

    i bought a mobile power inverter in Canadian Tire and the price is very cheap. During my 4 hrs driving in my trip, no any problem at all when my friends was seeing some movies in my car.

    This looks to me like a universal adaptor which should have a selection of different plug-in tips to fit different notebooks. Are there some tips in the bottom of the box? What is the make and model of the adaptor?
