Cool. I just opened up my USB charger lighter adapter, and bridged the two inner data terminals as you suggest, and now my N900 will charge from it. Unfortunately, the FM transmitter becomes very weak when connected.

This aspect of the N900 is very lame indeed - it works fine when not charging, but why on earth would I want to flatten the device's battery when I'm listening to it through the car stereo?
