IPAQ H2210 Car Charger

Hello all, I am trying to find a very low profile car charger for the above mentioned iPAQ. What I mean is, where the cable plugs into the PDA, I would like it to be as small as possible, and maybe the cable coming out on a 90 degree angle towards the back of the unit. I want to attach the PDA to a vent in my car and need the power cable to be as stealth looking as possible for clean installation. Thanks to all who reply!

Try SonyPSP car charger (it is 5v, built in transformer) and also get an ipaq 2215/2210 power connector. Assuming you already have a 'mount' for your ipaq. That would be the simplest set up (im just not sure about the vent mounts-- i had them before- that attaches to the vent slats-- not very sturdy--but for temp usage its okay)
I have since replaced my h2215 GPS/MULTIMEDIA set up for my 1999 Passat- Although i did not use the vent mounts(tooflimsy-bouncy-unsecure) The photo below shows the US Promount that does not affect vent controls/use. Then attached to the pro mount is swivel mount and Seidio powered cradle (that also has rf connector for serial gps). The charger that i used was for the SonyPSP- (the Seidio acts as a cradle that connects at the bottom of the ipaq for power and gps signal. When not in a cradle- i use the ipaq charger connector and then connect the Sony PSP auto-charger (5v) and it has a built in transformer to protect your ipaq incase of auto power surge.
I have since replaced this set up with a cleaner rx5915 (travel companion) that came with its own auto cradle and i was able to use the existing US ProMount. Power is via Usb charger-car adapter.
Check Out Seidio.com(seidio onlinestore), Us ProMount, and MobilePlanet.com
The picture below is the old set up-- Keep in mind it can be swivelled for either landscape or portrait.
let me know if you have any questions.
