Does anyone know what type of power adapter it uses? Does it use a 12volt, 1.5amp or 2amp one? I'm trying to use this in a car.

I am not sure of the Amps but I would not use this item. I had one its not stable you constantly have to remove and re-plugin the aircard. I moved to a Hotspot with a cig plug problem solved. Even if you need more users they now make Hotspots that hold up to 80 users. This item is no longer needed. In 2015 this is the Mickey Mouse way to get WiFi out of an old ariacrd.

I have used this and Cradle Point for years before Hotspots were avail. I would not use either one. I would change the unit to a Hotspot and get a car charger for it. Why would you even want to use a product like this? It was great back in the day before Hotspots but for the life of me I can't think of any reason why I would use this over a Hotspot. I use the Sprint Netgear Zing in my car and it works great. Nothing is going to be more stable than a product designed for this use and the Hotspot is.

It is not meant to come with a power supply. The product is intended for AUTOMOBILES -- so you just hook up your 12-14 Volt auto battery directly to the amp (that's why it comes with a plug and a short length of cable) -- no need for a power adapter and no need for a separate power supply!

Thank you Ely, I would also like to know what the "Plug size" is, I have a 3 volt adapter but it's plugdoesn't fit and there are so many different sizes, it's difficult to find the right one.

My best guess is that the 12v 2a wall wart was the smallest, cheapest one they could find that could acceptably run the amplifier. I purchased an aftermarket 72 watt power supply for the amp to remedy this issue. If you're using this in a vehicle application you won't have worry about this as the vehicle's electrical system should provide all the amperage the amp will ask for.

I wanted to post a picture of the adapter as I didn't want to worry about typos... so here it goes... let me know if I missed anything... Power Supply Model: DYS404-120300W Speaker Model: B0514 Input: 100-240V-50/60Hz 1.0A Output: 12.0V=3.0A I hope that is the info you were after.

this is an automotive power supply for testing automotive circuits or charging batterys not sure what you want to use it for. it puts out 13.8v dc same as a running car. i use it for auto testing

It doesn't come with a car adapter. Don't know if they make one either. May I suggest you get an extra battery or 2, and have them charged as a backup.

This just comes with the car adapter. You might be able to purchase another cord, but probably not worth it. I would look for other ones that are dual power.

I am assuming that you are talking about using this to power a stereo not in the car? It does have a 12V 4 pin connector. So if the stereo runs on 12V and you can figure out how to make the connections, it should? work.

I really do not know. Check the company if they sell a car power adapter for this model. Good Luck

This isn't the right adapter for your car. Audio quality is pretty good (if it works) . But in some vehicles if you're charging a device from your 12v socket and playing music from the same device you'll get a steady whine. To fix that you'd need to install a ground loop isolator.

I cannot find any specific power source even if is marked in the manual that recommended Pioneer AC adapters should be used. As specified in the manual I think that any AC adapter with 5VDC/min1A that has the exact jack type as the unit will do. As an option you may consider using any AC to USB power adapter (used to charge phones or tablets) and an USB cable.

Looks like the same one I bought. I used a 12 volt DC 1 amp output converter. Think I got it from Radio Shack. It was plenty loud with even a smaller amperage converter I had, but I thought it might overdrive it so I got the 1amp just in case.

This power supply will provide 12volts DC at 4 amps, that is 48 watts. I don't know what is required to run your car stereo with cd changer. What are its specs?

The plug is only for the car, but I can't remember if it had an adapter. I bought this one quite a while ago. Sorry. It was a good one until it finally died. None seem to ever last a whole long time.

I know this is an old post but it may help someone. Interesting that they'd say 9-12V. It will probably work, but this is what I know about car electronics. I'm a product design and electrical engineer and I've developed lots of products that plug into car cigarette lighter sockets. The 12V power is really "noisy" meaning there are spikes and jolts and surges all over the place. It's a nominal 13.5V on most electrical systems, though the newer cars with advanced electronics may clean that up a bit. But here's the deal: The "nominal" (average) already exceeds their 9-12V spec, and when you consider the spikes and surges, I'd think you'd be risking blowing out your DVD unit to plug it in with a direct 12V cord. The 9V cord not only transforms it down to a lower input voltage, but it has a switching regulator that adapts very quickly to quell spikes and surges. The replacement adapter from Philips is $12, but hey, that already fried! It probably didn't "fry itself", but more likely was fried by the car you used it in which may have had worse surges than the average car. I would get the $20 one from Radio Shack (m/n 273-369). Take in your player to a store and they'll fix you up with the correct tip in the right configuration. I'm not insensitive to your need for economy, but you are risking frying your whole $130 DVD player for want of $10 or $20 for a good power cord. Go without those Lattes for a week and get a quality power cord.

I had mine hooked up to a car amp.It worked for 5 hours.Then nothing. It is a piece of trash.
