Thanks Mate The supply is off the leisure battery so engine cranking does not affect it. I am not too keen on running inverters they tend to be a bit wasteful when your not on mains hook up. I am using a Samsung s2 500g bus powered external hard drive that works perfectly with the Touch and even goes to sleep after 5 Mins idle. The 4 AMP DC/DC 12V TO 5V PSU sounds perfect and should consume far less power. Did you make the DC/DC Psu or buy it ?
