1st, for the absolute easiest way around this problem, would the Karma (and dock) run off of a 4.5V supply rated at 1A?

I've been running the Karma in my wife's car doing precisely this. It both operates and charges perfectly satisfactorily. It's a Sony one from a CD player, I'm not sure of the model number.
