so i bought the Griffin Technology - iTrip Auto Universal Plus FM Transmitter and Charger. The thing is the music works fine but when I plug in the USB, the phone doesn't register it as charging so I can't really use my phone as a GPS. Its the same cable i use to charge my phone regularly from the computer. Is there some kinda setting for the Xperia X10 that allow car charging? Any input would be appreciate it. Really wanted to keep using that Google Navigation, for now can only turn screen off and just use it via sound which is kinda ridiculous.

-thx
 
Not sure about that particular device, but I bought a rocketfish us cigarette lighter adaptor, and when I plugged my X10 into it (using my regular charging cable from my office) it would not register. I also bought a generic USB / cigarette adapter charger and it also would not work. They both worked on my wifes HTC Legend with no problem. I bought the SE car charger, and voila! it worked fine. Luckily it also worked on my wifes phone, so we both use mine, but there is definitely something about the X10 that limits what devices will work with it.
