First ...sorry for my english... (but very good italian)
i was driving my car from Rome to Pisa (400 km). Very happy for my new jj and tomtom 5.1 connected via BT to a leadtech antenna. After 2 hours i charged the antenna using the car charger that comes with the gps antenna (that has a 12 volt input ad a small usb "output"plug ...that is the same plug of jasjar). After one hour (antenna fully recharged)i put the car charger from the antenna to the jj plug.
The battery value was 17%. As soon as i connect the power, Jasjar display becomes more bright, but the red let that normaly is on during recharge, was not on. And after 40 minutes the battery level was at 11%.
So i didn't recharge jasjar. Maybe the car charger was not "compatible"...or output power not enought (.....strange....)
Have you any suggestion?
Wich brand for a good jasjar car charger?
thanks

You might want to try connecting the usb cable then switching off the Exec (via the silver power button) and then back on again. I need to do this for my mini-usb cable to start charging - although without I get the brighter screen etc that you mention. Worth a try...?

Try to turn off the Jasjar, plug the charger and then turn on the Jasjar. At least this works for me.

i will try
But in any case this means
1) find a parking
2) stop the car
3) power of JJ
4) power on JJ
5) restart JJ
6) restart tomtom
7) wait 1 min. for satelleite connection
8) exit from parking

This because a just want to recharge my ppc.... :?

Alternativery we can just cloase the screen, put the charger and then reopen the screen...

or set it all up before you drive. no stopping required that way
