Here’s a ridiculously cool hack that shows you how to make a Touchstone Palm Pre Car Mount. As for me, I will keep my Palm Pre Touchstone on my desk where its used more often but I might consider putting one in my car soon too for turn-by-voice GPS navigation.

I personally use a Duracell Inverter which does a great job of re-charging all of my gadgets including USB and AC. If you don’t want to open up and hack your car’s dashboard, you might want to use the inverter instead too.

I have tried my Touchstone on my car using the AC power via my Duracell inverter and it works really well. When I tried using the USB (which Touchstone manual says not to), it simply didn’t work but this hack should work since it’s driving power directly from 12V DC of the car battery. (The author says it should work flawlessly if you use the Palm 12V to USB charger (which I have) so I would suggest to try it out and let me know in the comments!)
