Then get a cigarette lighter to USB adapter (inexpensive at meritline.com) and you should be good to go. Since the Literati charger is 5 volts and the USB standard is 5v (I'm pretty sure) everything should work just fine. You would have to google for the correct wiring diagram and to check that the USB buss is 5v.

But I've not done this and there are no guarantees!
Actually, at Radio Shack you should be able to get a 12v transformer that plugs into the cigarette lighter. You can plug the regular charging cord into that. No modifications needed.
