Hi there everyone, new member!
I did GCSE tech (Electronics) and im doing A level physics but I figured it'd be a good idea to ask some people who knows what they're doing about this.
I have a Zune MP3 player which is only available in the states right now, and im getting my first car soon, and would like to create an all in charge and audio cable. Ive pretty much the got the pinouts figured, and im soldering the connector together, so im just left to figure out the charging side.
The car is either gonna be 12 or 16v, no idea on the current (Not even a vague idea, how much current would it usually put out given the devices already installed?)
I need to whittle that down to 5VDC and either 0.5A or 1.5A (It can charge with either, 0.5A is preferable however as im not sure the cable im using can handle 1.5A), as well as to around 1.75VDC with the same ampage.
How would you guys recommend I go about this?
Cheers all!
Ben Wedlake.
EDIT: What do you guys reckon to something like this: **broken link removed**
(Looking at the TS78M05 obviously)
