Mr car won't provide enough power to charge my iPad MIni.

[Phunk]

I have. a ipad mini and a belkin charger which says it works with ipad minis on the box.

I've tried the charger in my friends E46 coupe and it charges fine.

I tried it in my E46 Saloon and it doesn't work at all, the charge light (on the charger) doesn't even light up.

My Belkin charger for my iPhone 4S works fine and charges it no problem.

Any ideas?

Belkin have a habit of this,
I have a Belkin FM transmitter which is supposed to charge my iPod nano through the cigarette socket it's never charged the nano although it says so in the paperwork.
Apple products can be a bit funny when it comes to using aftermarket charging devices, the only charger I can use on my ipad is the official apple charger.
Even using cheap aftermarket USB leads which go into the official charger don't work as well as the real leads as I've just found out as I bought a longer charge lead and it now takes 3 times as long to charge the iPad.
