Yikes, thats an oldie

Before you go spend money, whats your plan?
That device is not internet update-able, and is rather limited in its ability.

just connect it to your vehicle.. no power cord needed, it gets its power from the OBD port in the vehicle..

Did it work?
If you NEED a charger (I have no clue if that thing really needs a charger) look on the tuner and see what its voltage and amp input and output are, then you can find a charger with the correct plug that has those similar voltage and amps output. If you give it too many amps (more than likely milliamps, or mA) during the charge, it'll charge too fast and the charge wont last long. And you could ruin the tuner.

the charger is only needed to give it power for when connecting to a PC.. but that olllllld discontinued predator can not do internet updates or custom tuning anyway.. so no need for a power cord... there is nothing to "charge"... just connect it to your OBD port in the vehicle.. it will get it's power from the obd port and allow you to install a tune, scan for codes, etc..

I don't do tuning for those olllld dead predator's anymore... can't do any transmission tuning with it, limited settings/adjustments, etc...

I would suggest that you restore the original backup stock factory tune to the car... then contact diablosport about trading in that ollllld dead predator to them... and they will give you a $100 discount on buying the new inTune i3 8245 Platinum version programmer from them (that's the model you need for custom tuning)... and then yes, I could definitely do a custom tune for you and your car....

Once you do that, you can email me directly at: diablo DOT help AT gmail DOT com

and then I can definitely get you hooked up...
