I asked this question a couple days back in a different section as have yet to get a response so I figured i'd be more specific here.

I require a car charger with 2 mini USB connectors to charge both my GPS and Hermes. Can anyone suggest a supplier please?

Do a ebay search for "car splitter" when i do i get about 31 results as im in australia.

I got one of these and have my 838 in one hole and my gpslim in the other. Works a treat.

Just watch out not to play bendies with the cord as mine is now playing up cause i bent it too far but otherwise it works great.

I've not seen a Y-Cable as such..

You can get a cigarette lighter adapter with 2 USB sockets coming out of it, that would do what you want as well.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dual-Port-USB-Car-Charger-Adapter-for-MP3-PDA-Cellphone_W0QQitemZ180144731828QQihZ008QQcategoryZ 14968QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks to Nick for ur reply but i'm trying to keep the amount of accessories I carry with me down to a minimum so that isn't what I am after.

Thanks sam for ur suggestion, i had spotted one of those before making the post but it wasn't exactly what i was looking for.

Finally thanks very much butpatbut for that link. It meant i actually took the time to read the listing rather than just eliminating it but looking at the picture like I had been doing while trawling ebay before posting the question. It turns out that is exactly what i am after, problem solved.

Thanks again ppl.
:)

You can find a mini-USB power Y cable here:

While it will work with Holux, it will not work with Tytn unless you add the mini-USB intelligent power adapter.

Does anybody know if this solution is going to work:
http://www.buygpsnow.com/universal-car-charger-with-dual-output-charge-pda-phone-bluetooth-gps-w-miniusb-socket-simultaneously-optional-palm-treo-hp-ipaq-dell-x51v-etc-charging-tip-available-856.aspx
They have an optional mini USB tip (p/n DC-S100) that can be attached to the non-usb lead of power supply. Thus we are going to have a dual power adapter with 2 mini usb leads. The only question: is this going to work with TyTn?
