If you only want to use it for the laptop in the car, get one of those little receiver thingys....

I have a Holox BT321 - a bluetooth GPS unit - there's a couple on ebay right now - don't pay more than £25
You don't need a car charger if you can find the right USB cable you can power it from that (my extra Vodafone Broadband Mobile cable works a treat)Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Gets some great reviews at a good price, looking a good bet so far "you cannot teach stupid people to do clever things"

mounted in the bubble/fin on the roof with a 5m usb extension cable that takes it all the way through to the glovebox.
It's very quick to get a lock, doesn't need batteries, is hidden out of the way so the scrotes can't nick it... The best solution for my needs. (Thanks tfc! )
I can recommend the same one from Expansys. Using one with the car pc and it's brilliant. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Bluetooth ones talk to things other than laptops
And you can power it via a USB powercable anyway

Yes but not at the same time, so it can still only do one thing. so whats the point.
And if you have to use a cable to power it then why not just use one with a cable anyway.CLUB "Ah Shor it'll be grand"
