A holder, electrical supply, and optional radio frequency transmitter unit
to hold, supply power to, and receive a data signal from an operating
electronic device when the device (e.g., MP3 player) is held in the unit
is disclosed. Electrical power enters the unit's power acquisition
portion (e.g., cigarette lighter adapter) from an external source and
flows to the electronic device via the holder. A data signal from the
electronic device is processed by an radio frequency transmitter in the
unit, and the resulting radio frequency signal is broadcast by an antenna
(e.g., gooseneck) that preferably forms a repositionable mechanical
connection between the holder and the power acquisition unit.
