64gb Playbook charged by 12v usb?

Question

Hello again
Please answer only if you have achieved to get a 64gb Playbook charged by 12v usb?
I have a 64gb Playbook running 2.1.0.1088. I am trying to use navigation programmes on the move but the playbook discharges in use and cannot accept any input from 12v via usb.
I have tried
Direct connection from 12v with usb. The unit was fro 9600 and playbook. Did not charge or read.
12v connectors with usb slots 1.8a and 2.1a and even 3.1a. All use a usb cable. No charge or read.
12v 3.1 connection, charge only usb adaptor and usb to playbook. No charge or read
The usb cables read when connected to the laptop, but there is no charge.
I have had a number of answers to my other thread, but all are for none 64g playbooks.
If you have succeeded in using a 64gb playbook to a 12v in-car socket. Please let me know which unit you have used and where I may purchase. I am in the UK, so please do not be offended my fellow users around the world if I ask for only UK answers.
Regards
Ross

OK so images seem to be approved.
Now the only concern I have is the idea of having a playbook loose in a car with the USB cable attached is in my opinion sking for the socket to get damaged in use. It's not the world's most robust design. 
When I use Playbook for chat to the family I have it either on the charging dock, on in a wooden frame I made with the cable anchored to the frams so it cant get snagged.
There is still the possibility that it's too late for Ross's Playbook and the socket may be damaged already. 
Well it sounds like you're now looking for a car mount holder. Checking out eBay (North America) there are lots which vary by price and most likely quality: http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_nkw=playbook+car+holder
For something like a car holder, I would go to a store and try them in person if possible and then see if you can find that same version cheaper online. I have bought cheap plastic holders before and they are junk and break easily. Personally, I'm trying to hunt down a metal one. I might just end up making one to be honest and that way you can control quality. Since we get some really cold temperatures here in Canada come wintertime, I've been looking to mate various pieces together to create a robust design. Here is a 7" metal stand that can come apart and serve as the backing of the mount. http://www.iphonexcases.com/hot-portable-ultra-tablet-stand-for-7-inch-e-reader-tablet-pcs-galaxy-ta... That stand is $13.70 and if you marry it to mounts like this:

This looks promising too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/EASY-TO-INSTALL-Asus-eee-pad-Transformer-Slate-Tablet-Car-Floor-Seat-Bolt-Mo...
Then you're getting something robust that will last and can be used elsewhere.
Remember,  with a decent car mount, the microUSB cable should be able to connect and not affect mount points...that's why I suggest trying them in person before buying or else you run the risk of the mounts covering the ports.
