AC adapter - where does it connect on the back of the console? Can anyone who has one assembled and working describe the location of the hole, or possibly post a photo of the back of the console?

The plug for the AC Adapter is at the front, about 3 inches from the bottom of the elliptical's flywheel housing.

Nathan, how does one connect the adapter to the car stereo? I have a Honda Accord with AM/FM/XM/CD but there's no opening or port for any kind of adapter. You say that you've permanently wired the connection. Does that mean you fiddled with something under or behind the dashboard?

i wish i could help...my unit stopped working 3 weeks after purchase and has not worked for the past ~month. i will most likely throw it in the trash can. the manufacturer said they would send me a power adapter. i never recieved it. i am thinking twice about ordering anything from amazon as they appear to not care at all for their customers. it maybe time to revisit the brick and mortor stores. sorry for the venting. i wish could have helped

I had this problem at first too, but after unscrewing the back I realized that the cord was inside. You have to fish it out with a small screwdriver or paper clip. If the problem is that you can't find the other receiver, it's there.

I went to a local car audio store to get the correct wire harness adapter and dash trim/din set, I would recommend finding a local car audio store that sells those parts to you can connect everything right and have it look nice. Mine looked awesome and played great, I don't have the car I put it in any more, and I really miss it.

Hi Bobby K - No. I remember having to buy the AC Adapter separately...but it was not very expensive...maybe $ 20.00

I was frustrated looking for where the AC adapter plugged in - I finally found a tiny hole on the lower left side towards the very front of the bike. It is above the metal floor support, and about 4 inches below the screw hole at the top of the plastic frame. There are three holes on the side - a screw hole at the top and bottom, and the plug hole for this in the middle. Hope this helps.

An A/C adapter but it is very cheaply made and mine did not get power. I returned it.

I just received mine last week and put it together over the weekend. When I went to plug it in, I found that it came with a British plug (type G from this link: http://www.kropla.com/electric.htm). Luckily, I had an travel adapter. No luck though because the console beeps repeatedly when I plug it in. It looks like it's trying to boot up, beeps once, then shuts down. This cycle repeats repeatedly every few seconds. Could I have gotten an European model? Anyone else have this problem?

It's like most adapters, I put it at the end but I still loose the one next to it(it covers the ground hole slightly). I guess if you had a two prong cord that was thin, you could probably still plug it in, haven't tried that one yet. My strip has all three prong cords in it.

I would find out, I also got one, but it came with a A/C adapter. How are you suppose to play it. I have had two of them. I love the system. I would call the company you got it from.

Hope I can help. Our son really enjoyed this toy when he was younger. He turns 11 tomorrow, and hasn't played with it in a while. His mom moved out almost three years ago, and his things get moved back and forth. I have the controller, but the console (pretty sure) is at his mom's who's out of town for the next couple of days. Going on memory, there were two outlets on the back of the console, one for the power cord, and one to attach to the television. Given the age of this toy, it very likely was a coax connection into the antenna slot on the TV. If that's the case, should be easy and cheap to buy a coax cable. If it's something different, you may want to contact VTech to see if you can get a replacement connection cable. The first controllers were actually wired into the front of the console. Newer controllers can run remotely - a nice feature, since you can get a little distance from the unit and TV. If there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to give me a call at 919/526-2271. Good luck. Malcolm

There should be an AC adapter in the package. If not you need to contact the seller.

I wouldn't recommend getting this model. Ours ripped right near the ac plug and it can't be patched due to the location of the tear. It wasn't anything we did, i think it's just the way it is designed.

I had the same issue. I guess their casting is off, in the end i just went ahead and trimmed it so it sat flat and flush. Mine is hidden under a console anyway. Just use some tin snips or grinding wheel to clearance it.

Well since you're a Netgear employee, why does my adaptor work flawlessly with my computer and won't even let my ps3 or xbox connect to the internet? A little off-subject but your time is appreciated.

the intrsuction direct to drill holes in the rear compartment on the console, however.....when i took it out of the box and set it into the back of the console , it fit so perfectly (snug) that i just left it alone....it has been in for several month and is still solid, I am hoping to never have to really install it by drilling holes.
