Default Charging a Creative Zen:M through a car

Help? I've tried everything, and the only thing it does is 'dock' it...but the 'charging' battery symbol doesn't come up.

Those 'USB cigarette lighter' chargers don't work either.

I've had one for a while, but never got the car adapter. Sorry I can't be of any help.

Don't know if it'll work.

I have a Zen V, came with the PC USB cable. From my old creative zen I still had the wall plug. The Zen V would only charge on the PC USB, not even the wall plug USB. I recently bought a new CD deck for my car with USB, I'm pretty sure the Zen V isn't charging there either.

Yep, thats my problem too.

I got a 'power supply' or sorts....so it doesn't drain the battery anymore.

Yeah, I guess we're just SOL,. . . Which is pretty lame. That's my first real annoyance with a creative product.

I think they made it so you HAVE to buy their stuff.
